I would like to know which carrier my iPhone is locked to

Hello Apple support,
After many attemps to contact you I landed here, so here is my question.
I recently bought an iPhone 4 over the internet which was locked and not yet activated.
Therefor I need to find out which carrier my iPhone is locked to so I can finally start using this thing, I will not provide my IMEI number in public for security reasons.
So is it possible to check my Carrier lock status by my IMEI / serial number? Because I think it is AT&T yet I am not sure, and I can't check it because I live in Belgium where I cannot get a hold of an AT&T sim card. The owner told me it was a dutch phone so it had to be locked with T-Mobile yet they don't seem to recognize the IMEI. The model number is MC318LL LL is coded for America as I seem to have heard.
Please do help me because I have made MANY attempts finding this out!
Many thanks in advance,
Jan

This cannot be determined by users with the info provided, and I'm not sure if Apple would give you this info over the phone if you called AppleCare in the U.S. - for security and privacy reasons.
You need to get this info from the seller. If the seller is unable to give you this info or the correct info, return it to the seller for payment credit and purchase an iPhone in your country from an official retailer and you will have less problems or no problems including not having to hack the iPhone to unlock it which removes all the built-in security making it insecure as with an Android phone.

  • How do i know which carrier my iphone is locked to?

    I bought my iphone 4 off ebay new in box, it is suppose to be for at&t but the box doesnt have any carrier information. an at&t sim card came in the phone but i am still apprihensive of it being locked to at&t. i am trying to unlock it so i just would like to have confermation of a carrier

    That is a lot of good evidence it is ATT. But to be certain, if you can turn it ON, then tap Settings App > General > About. Sometimes carrier information will be given here. If not then in this window of About will be the Model number. Enter this model number into Web Search and see who is the Carrier. if ATT this will be easy, if other, it could be a bit more difficult.

    thank you very much ...

    but can not be unlocked
    If the phone was NOT unlocked, it can't work or be activated with any other carrier than AT&T.  It CAN'T be used with Tigo or Movistar.
    Your post makes very little sense.  Maybe you can get some help with English. 

  • I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model. I have read some reviews of Maverick and Yosemite making the older macs slower. Is this true?

    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4GB Memory. and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model? Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite?
    When I had gone to the apple care centre in India a few months ago to upgrade my OSX to Mountain Lion, I was told that considering my macbook pro's specs, upgrading it would just make it less efficient, and that I should stick to Snow Leopard unless I consider buying a newer mac that would benefit from it. Is this true? I find it a bit hard to believe. Which update is most recommended?
    I also notice that my mac has gotten considerably slower. While using chrome, it buffers and struggles with even just 5 tabs open. Could this have something to do with my current ios? As a precaution, I have always been making sure I have enough free space on disk i.e around 70 - 100 free out of 250GB.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

  • Hi Dude,     I ve seen all the threads from first to last even am gonna geta iphone 4s from Thailand. Would like to know which sim will be working fine in chennai as you all are using d phone for past many days???  Is it advisable to buy a phone

    Hi Dude,
    I ve seen all the threads from first to last even am gonna get a iphone 4s from Thailand. Would like to know which sim will be working fine in chennai as you all are using d phone for past many days???  Is it advisable to buy a phone from abroad.

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

    I'm a beginner and would like to know which Photoshop to use (so many options). The only edits I care about being able to do are: whitening teeth, smoothing complexions/taking away blemishes.  Does any photoshop have these options? I haven't been able to find the teeth whitening one anywhere. Also, I don't want it to lessen the high quality if my photos.  Thank you so much!!

    Hi Erika,
    I came to Lightroom quite recently (in the last month!)  from Photoshop Elements 11. I like the organization features in LR better, but for adjustments such as the ones that you mentioned I would leave LR and go back to Photoshop Elements 11, primarily because that is what I know. I don't use the subscription service, mainly because I already owned and installed the boxed version of Photoshop Elements 11 and adding it to a subscription service with Lightroom seemed redundant. I am sure someone in the community will (or has) comment(ed) that it is possible to whiten teeth and cure blemishes within LR, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Check out the TV Adobe free tutorials, particularly Julianne Kost's tutorials. She has a good presentation style and you might find the LR answer that you need with detailed instructions.

  • I have old ipod touch which has software version 1.1.5 is i would like to know which version i can update in that ipod touch

    i have old ipod touch which has software version 1.1.5 i would like to know which version i can update in that and ipod and how

    You probably have a 1G ipod.  To get the latest iOS for that mode go to:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    It is a paid update.  You may have to use a different browser to get the sublink to work correctly.
    Go here to identify your iPod:

    The 2G can go to 4.2.1.

  • I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work

    I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work.

    Time Machine is one such program, although it is a recursive backup program which offers limited archive capability, based on the capacity of the backup destination, and it requires you set it up before you start editing your files.   Some programs are also Versions aware, which offers a kind of restore capability by file.  Again needs to be setup before you start editing.
    Just a for-your-info:
    Mac is not an acronym, it is a nickname for Macintosh.

    I would like to know which apple server dictation connects to so that my proxy server will stop blocking it. Which apple server does it connect too?

    I would presume so, but it might be worth your while to experiment and play around with different combinations to see if you can block FaceTime while keeping Game Center open.  Good luck!

  • I would like to know which model has been discontinued? is it EOS 600D or 650D?

    i would like to know which model has been discontinued? is it EOS 600D or 650D? 
    And is 650d at 1650 a good deal? 

    In North America the 650D is the marketed as the EOS Rebel T4i.  It has been replacd by the T5i (in some other markets that's the 700D).
    The T4i was nearly identical to the T5i (cosmetically they are identical other than the mode dial is slightly different on a T5i).  It would not have made sense for Canon to continue to market both so they dropped the T4i.  The T3i is different enough that they still make that model.
    The list price on a T5i camera including the kit lens (EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM) is about $850.  
    A price of $1650 (assuming that's US dollars) is extremely high.

  • I'm from Brazil and I would like to know if the unlocked iPhone 5 which advertesed on the Apple Store webpage works fine in Brazil. Could someone from Apple please confirm that?

    Hello Apple Support Team,
    I'm from Brazil and I would like to know if the unlocked iPhone 5 which is advertesed on the US Apple Store webpage works fine in Brazil. Could someone from Apple please confirm that for me?
    Thanks in advance.

    The iPhone bought unlocked from the Apple store in the US will work in Brazil on GSM. Nevertheless the LTE frequencies might be different.
    Be aware that:
    You will NOT be able to order from the US Apple online store. You will have to go to a physical Apple store in the US.
    The warranty is only valid in the US and you will not be able to get warranty service in Brazil.
    With all of that, why not buy the iPhone in Brazil?
