[Pyrogen100]

Want to refund an iPhone 6s Plus that I bought. It's locked to Simple Mobile for 12 months (I already knew and accepted this, I use them.) But it's shipped AND sold from Amazon, so I'm assuming even IF I'm able to get the refund (considering it's a brand new iPhone) then they'll definitely block the IMEI, I'm 90% sure. Purchase price is $299.99.

I'm assuming there's no way to get around this? No, I don't want to jailbreak the iPhone or change the IMEI.
