Apple via phone say any carrier can unlock my iphone3gs even if my not my service provider

When I called Apple phone support they told me any carrier can unlock my iphone even if my not my service provider. Is this true?

No. Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking.

    Hi, I have a problem with getting my apple Id working for me. It's been 2 months since it happened and Apple failed to act. I can tell my story proerly, but am not sure, you guys can help, so I just copy my message to them today, I am trying to get it across all the places around to pay their attention. This is a desperate move, so if you are not the right people to help me to get my message accross, may be you can advise where can I go.
    Thank you, and sorry for the language.

    I am sorry to say that, but your security makes my life miserable – it’s been 2 months since my Apple ID account got stuck, and since then I cannot update 37 applications (to date), i.e. most of my applications. Half of them I bought. I also paid for iCloud, and it is not working. I paid money and I am stuck with old applications and no iCloud. Your security *****. Your service ***** too. It took your service 1 month to finally understand why this happened to me, and it took me tens of emails to you and 3 hours of telephone conversation to find out the reason for my problem. And the problem is still not fixed. NOT FIXED. You just leave your customer – the one who paid you money and spent so much time with you trying to help you help me – and nothing. You tell me:  “Vitas, Stick your stinky iphone in your *** and enjoy life, we do not care!” *************.
    It is ******* outrageous, and you should know that,  guys. Get into the ******* database and correct the bug. Get someone in the partners-telephone carriers company (it is Orange as carreer and Cellcom as seller of the phone)  authorized to Identify me in personal encounter in one of the branches in Israel (where I live) and make sure it is really me, and get the ******* system accept my password and let me use my phone.
    Otherwise **** off. None of my friends will get my advise to buy an iphone or any of apple products. And I think you should be very attentive to cases like this, guys. Do your work for the money we pay, or disappear. There are many others eager to take your place, and if the problem is not fixed I will eventually go to the others. My patience is lost, and as soon as I can afford another phone I will change it. AND I WILL TRY TO GIVE BAAAAAD PUBLICITY TO APPLE – I am threatening here, so ACT NOW.

    Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
    So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
    If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

  • Will apple unlock iphone if i bought it from my service provider?

    Will  apple unlock iphone if i bought it from my service provider?

    No, because Apple didn't lock the phone to begin with.  Your service provider did.  Only your service provider can initiate the unlock.  Contact them and see if they even offer unlocking, and if they do, what the requirements you need to fulfill are.

  • I am unable to get past the first step of Winston Churchill's answer because my phone says "checking for a software update failed because you are not connected to the Internet". Did my WiFi connection also get lost?

    I am unable to get past the first step of Winston Churchill's answer because my phone says "checking for a software update failed because you are not connected to the Internet."  Did my iphone's WiFi connection also get lost with the Contacts, Mail and Text Messages?  When I tried the software update, as recommended by Winston Churchill, the iphone was connected to my desktop which is connected to the Internet.

    You can't use your computers Internet connection to update your phone from the phone itself. If you want to use the computers Internet connection to update your phone you must update it through iTunes.

    Hello caitmcd,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You can also update the phone through iTunes directly if you have the latest version of iTunes installed, 11.1.
    You can download iTunes 11 here if needed:

  • Whether java component (Not ejb, not servlet) can be deployed in App Server and get the services provided by App Server

    As I mentioned in subject, I am just wondering Whether the java component (Not
    ejb, not servlet) can be deployed in App Server and get the services provided
    by App Server or not?

    Nevermind folks - I got it to work. All my configuration was correct; I had other issues with the ejb-jar file that the verifier informed me of (my previous deployments were with the verifier turned-off).

  • I have moved from uk to Ireland and changed my mobile provider, but I can't send texts to uk numbers.  My service provider say it is an I phone problem, not a service provider problem.

    I have moved from uk to Ireland and had to change my service provider, but despite 3 calls to my service provider I can't send texts to the uk. They have checked it out by my using a different SIM card, but I still cannot send texts. They say it is problem with my iPhone 4's settings and told me to contact apple. Can anyone help me?

    If you can find out what country your iPhone was officially sold in, you could take it there (or if originally sold in the EU, take it to any EU country where Apple officially sells the iPhone) or you could send the iPhone to someone you know in that country who could get it serviced and then ship it back to you. Apple Support does not accept shipments from other countries, and will not ship a serviced iPhone to another country.
    This, though, presumes that the iPhone has not been modified as your service provider claimed. If it has, Apple will not provide service for it in any country.
    You may be able to find out what country your iPhone was officially sold in by calling Apple Support:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    and giving them the serial number.

  • Any user can unlock any other user password protected screen?

    Major problem I'm having...!
    On my Macbook Air - both myself and my wife can unlock each others password protected screen saver?
    Surely this shouldn't be the case...?
    We are both admin - but I would of assumed each could only unlock it's own user password protected screen saver.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    ..."That doesn't make sense...as the login window is available from that password protected screensaver also..."...
    The option to switch to the loginwindow only appears if the "Fast User Switching" GUI is enabled in the "Accounts" pref pane. If that option were to be disabled and eg. a user on a shared computer went home without logging out, in the absence of "admin" access, that computer would be entirely unusable to other users short of pulling the plug, which might interrupt any background operations in progress.
    I suppose the behaviour could be alterred depending on the "FUS" status, but really, what would be the point since, as you acknowledge, an "admin" user ultimately has the ability to access an open session anyway?
    For reference, note that "admin" users, in addition to the "session owner" are granted the right to unlock the screen in the "/private/etc/authorization" file under the 'system.login.screensaver' key so the behaviour can be adjusted from there.

  • I have a USA 4S phone and will now be living in Paris France.  Can I use my USA 4S with a French service provider like Orange?

    Can I use my USA 4S iphone in Paris France with a French service provider like Orange/France Telecom?

    Yes, but the phone has to be SIM unlocked first by the USA carrier, if it is locked. If you have an unlocked iPhone, then you can just pop in a Orange SIM.
