Looking to setup an old company iPhone 7 for my son. No longer work for the company and the device is mine, but locked to this remote mgmt setup on a freshly erased device. Any thoughts on how to bypass?

Reach out to the old company to have them remove it?

I'm not familiar with these restrictions but I'm pretty sure they're pretty well set up airtight so there are no feasible ways to bypass it

Reaching out to the company is not really an option as I no longer work there.... Its not like I am reaching back out a mom and pop store I worked at in high school, this is a fortune 250 company with over 30k employees - they don't take phone calls like that LOL

That's your only option.

If its anything like the MDM profiles on Macs, then this is your only option. As I mentioned it I'm rather unfamiliar with this, but apple is pretty good on locking down products and not having any way to bypass it

There seem to be a ton of programs that claim to do this; obviously I lack trust in them but does lead me to believe that it is possible without the company’s intervention….

Plenty of companies claim they can remove Apples iCloud activation lock too but not one has ever been able to do it.. The software private companies install on their devices is designed to prevent what you're attempting.. I'd say the cost of trying to remove it greatly surpasses what the iPhone 7 is worth.. They go for $75-$85 on Swappa
