My New Unlocked IPhone 4 S is showing "310-410" as a carrier while roaming (instead of AT&T)

Hello,
Yesterday, I wanted to buy an unlocked IP4 S from New York Soho store.
They told me that they don't have unlocked in stock, but if I pay full price ($649) they can unlock an AT&T phone for me.
I said ok and purchased the phone. They put my Turkish sim card in it and itr worked greatly.
My operater is Turkcell and they work with AT&T in US. Normally in most of the time I see AT&T in the left top corner as a carrier. But sometimes, AT&T changes to "310-410". Does any anybody know what does it stand for? Is it normal? I can make calls or messaging in 310-410 mode as well but I still couldn't understand what it is.
In some of the forums, I saw some people had the same issue. They went to talk to a genius and Apple changed their phones with the new one.
Do you think, I also need to return my phone? Is there any difference between a factory unlocked and an ATT unlocked phone?
Appreciate your help
Thanks

You may have not understood that he was referring to an Apple Store in Soho, but it was obvious to me that was his intent, I have shopped in the store, and it is something he cleared up for you in a later comment.
My company works with the local Apple Authorized Retailer here in Monterrey, Mexico almost daily. We sell hundreds of Apple products for them every year to our clients. You are spewing a crock. We have phones unlocked every other week when there is insufficient unlocked stock available.
I have read the entire thread. I am well versed in what has been asserted and by whom. My reading comprehension in English is excellent. You are who has asserted that it was a mismarked AT&T phone. That is a tale that you fabricated out of thin air. You lot have turned a simple question about which company he was roaming with, into a farce claiming he purchased a hacked phone.

  • New unlock iphone 4's internet problem

    I got a new unlocked iphone 4, and use the straight talk unlimited data plain. But my iphone shows my carrier is AT&T, and I coulden't activate cellular data network. I don't know how to get access to 3G internet.

    My iPhone 4s suddenly experienced some Internet problem starting from yesterday too. I got my iPhone 4s when it first came out. No issue at all until this happens. My Internet on"4G" (well it's actually 3G but labeled as 4G) is super slow. I can still call and text but I can't receive any messages from iMessage(which uses Internet), apps store just stay loading forever, and a webpage takes like mins to load. But everything work fine once I connected to wifi. I don't know what going on and I would know is it just me or others are experiencing the same thing?

    You will need to contact the US cellular provider to determine their unlocking policy, and if you qualify.

    What to Bring with You
    Your old mobile phone, if you’re replacing it.
    Social Security number of the account holder.
    Valid government-issued photo ID.
    Carrier account password, if you have one.
    Your Apple ID and password.

    According to Apple's list (link above) you will probably want to pick up a Sprint or US Cellular model. HOWEVER, as I mentioned above I know that the Verizon iPhones come unlocked from the factory (assuming it will be the same for iPhone 6 and 6+). I DO NOT KNOW if the Sprint and US Cellular models come unlocked. But I am sure some quick internet research will lead you to the answer.
    I think your goal would be to get a Sprint or US Cellular version. Also I believe a law was just recently passed that allows someone to have a phone unlocked by the carrier no questions asked. So even if the Sprint and US Cellular iPhones are locked you can have them unlocked.

  • How can I activate my new, unlocked iPhone 4, without a voice/data plan?

    Purchased a new, unlocked iPhone 4 directly from apple.com. We're going to be using it for in-house testing, and we don't want/need a service plan.
    But we can't activate the phone without a SIM card. The only decent advice we've gotten is to activate it with someone else's iPhone 4 SIM card. But we'd need to do the same thing for any iOS update.
    When I visited AT&T, they said I couldn't get an iPhone 4 SIM without a contract. I'm not entirely sure that employee was correct.
    Any advice? This has been frustrating.

    You can purchase an unlocked iPhone, without contract, directly from Apple online or in any Apple retail store. Then get a cheap T-Mobile sim & activate the phone. Any T-Mobile store will be glad to help. AT&T wants ALL iPhone users under contract. While it is possible to establish service on a post-paid basis, AT&T does not like to do this for iPhone users. Since your phone is officially unlocked, you don't have to deal with AT&T.

  • Taking a new unlocked iPhone from Australia to the USA

    Hi all,
    A thorough search of the net has failed to answer this question and I'm hoping you can help. There are a few threads that explore using an unlocked Aus iPhone in the USA but they all seem to deal with phones unlocked from a carrier.
    I have bought a new factory unlocked iPhone from Apple Australia. If I insert a local SIM (like a Vodaphone) to get the phone operating in Australia do I need to unlock it to use it in the USA or does it stay unlocked? I would like to remove the Vodaphone SIM and use an American network while I am there.
    Thanks,
    Shannon

    No, if it's officially unlocked by the carrier or factory-unlocked from the Apple Store, it will work with an AT&T SIM card here in the US. But, apparently there are some issues with getting pre-paid SIMs from AT&T, so check into that (the only other GSM network in the US is T-mobile, and their 3G network is not compatible with the iPhone, so you're stuck sorting out the SIM issues with AT&T or using EDGE-only on T-mobile.
    Also, be aware that iPhone warranty service is only provided in the country of purchase.

  • Buying a new unlocked Iphone in Belgium

    Hi,
    Are visiting Belgium now for the weekend and have the oppertunity to buy the unlocked iPhone 3G. Is there anything i need to think about before i do this?
    Will Itunes work at home in Sweden?
    Can i upgrade the iPhone without any issues?
    Any limitations in the warranty or anything else?

    Warranty service is provided only in the country of purchase.
    If you have a warranty issue, you will have to take the iphone to Belgium.

  • Can an unlocked iphone 4S be used in two countries with local carriers?

    I spend 1/2 my time in US and 1/2 in Malaysia. I would like to buy an iphone 4S and use the phone with a local carrier in US and Maxis in Malaysia. Can this be done if I buy a factory unlocked phone?

    Yes.  That's the whole point of an unlocked phone.  The carrier has to be GSM.  However, not all GSM carriers support all iPhone features.  Pick ones that are official iPhone carriers (i.e. sell iPhones) to be sure.

  • Purchasing a new unlocked iPhone 4

    Hi.
    My name is Prasad. I'm planning to get a 16GB iPhone 4, the factory unlocked one that sells for 859AUD in Apple online store.
    My question is is it only purchasable through online store, or if I could go to a local Apple store I would be able to get one on the spot. why because it takes 3 weeks to get shipped, and mostly no one is at home on the day time to get the delivery...
    Regards,
    Prasad

    All iphones sold through official sources in Singapore are sold as officially unlocked. The only official carries are: SingTel, M1, & StarHub. However, purchasing through the carrier "may" require a contract, even though the iphone is unlocked. You'll need to check to make sure. If you purchase directly through an Apple store, you won't have that problem.

  • Will a UK power plug work on a new unlocked iphone 5c purchased from USA?

    I am thinking of purchasing 2 iphone 5c white 16GB handsets that are unlocked and sim free from USA as christmas presents for my parents, who live in London, UK.   This would save me more money than buying in the UK.
    I would be very grateful if someone could help with the following questions that are troubling me? :
    1. Will the unlocked sim free 5c handsets work in UK?
    2. my parents are not heavy users, they will use a pay as you go sim and not opt for a contract sim - will this be ok?
    3. to power the USA purchased handsets in the UK, can I use the appropriate UK iphone adaptor or will I need to also buy a convertor of some kind?
    4. what are the downsides i will have to live with from not purchasing the handsets in UK?
    Thanks so much..

    In addition, the phones will not work on any carrier's LTE network in the UK, because the bands are different around the world. They will still work on GSM.
    The power adapters are universal; all you need is an outlet pin adapter.
    You will also have to either smuggle them into the UK or declare them and pay import duty and VAT. This, plus the sales tax in the US will raise the price to probably more than they would cost in the UK. Unless you smuggle them in and don't get caught. But if you DO get caught there will be a penalty on top of the import duty and VAT. So, are you a gambler?
