Can Apple Canada unlock my Rogers Iphone after contract expired?

I have an Iphone 4 that was updated to IOS 5.0.1 and baseband 4.11.08.  I understand that Apple Canada sells unlock Iphone 4.  I signed a contract with Rogers for 3 years and now its expired.  Currently I am located in Japan.  I want to know is what can I do with an Iphone that cost around 749 Canadian?  I have a Japanese micro sim card that I would like to insert into my Iphone 4 from Canada.  As we all know an Iphone is not cheap and I had spent quite a lot for this phone already so I don't want to keep it as an Ipod Touch.
Can Apple Canada unlock my phone if I provide the IMEI?  I really hope that I can use this phone....or else its a waste of my money to buy another Iphone in Japan...no point to keep a $749 Ipod Touch...unless this is Apple's practice to ask consumer sign contracts and after contract expires just keep it as paper weights.
Please help with this issue, cost of living in Japan is not cheap and I would like to save money by having faith in Apple's support to help me unlock my Canadian phone.  Thank you

Hi Stedman1 thanks for your quick reply, I have asked Rogers and they said at the moment they cannot unlock it for me.  I am asking Apple because Apple Canada sells the phone factory unlocked, I was wondering if its possible to have my phone factory unlocked.
My Iphone is IOS 5.0.1 Baseband 4.11.08 I have heard that it cannot be unlock by anyone but maybe only Apple can do it by IMEI.  I don't know what I can do...no one else to turn to and its an expensive ipod touch sitting in my Japan home

  • Can I IMEI Unlock My Rogers iPhone 4 To Work On Bell?

    Can I IMEI Unlock my Rogers iPhone 4 so it will work on Bell?
    I have switched from my Rogers iPhone 4 to Bell Samsung Galaxy S II but when I switched to Bell I was put on a Three-Year-Term and I would like to switch back to iPhone 4 but I will not buy a new Bell iPhone or Factory Unlocked iPhone just to do so.
    Thanks, Hope I get a answer!

    Yes, as long as you are out of contract (such as paying ECF to get out) then Rogers is now willing to IMEI unlock your iPhone for $50 admin fees. You just need to talk to the right representative as not all of them knows it.

    You must have had find my iPhone on, or it was locked by your phone carrier.
    Call your our cell carrier first.
    then log on to a computer to iCloud to erase your iPhone.  
    NOW... You will be able to setup with a backup.

  • HT201302 how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone

    Hello paolo@spring,
    Just as photos that were taken more than 30 days ago remain on your MacBook Air, so will photos that are deleted from your iPhone.
    Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.

    how can i reset or restore my iphone after dropping it in water????

    There are a lot of posts here about your problem, read a few of them and they all come back to switching the phone off immediately and have it in a very good closed bag of dry rice for a week and advisely swith the rice for a fresh charge of dry rice every week for a number of weeks when it was really submersed. Ckuan advice times 3. The iPhone has a detector which indicates whether the iPhone was in the water, Apple can give you an indication about the price first if you visit them.

    Go to expresslane.apple.com and go to itunes/itunes store and billing/redemption and apple ID account billing, and click on send an email or talk to a live chat advisor.. have your order numer, cost, and the name of the item... you'll need to explain in detail. If you send an email they will get back to you within 24 hours. If you chat with a live advisor they will assist you immediately. They are really good at getting you a refund when needed.

  • HT4623 I can't turn on my new iphone after updating ios as recommended.

    I can't turn on my new iphone after updating ios as recommended. I can't access apple support and chat b/c I can't access my serial number as I can't get on my phone. I can't call them for the same **** reason. Holding down the on button(s) as per google does not work. Itunes says my phone is in "recovery" and needs to be "restored". I don't know what this means. Very frustrated. Please help. I need my stupid phone. On the verge of beginning to hate apple...

    It's hard to tell what went wrong.  Some possibilities:
    1.  Your iPhone did not have enough free space.  Once it works, check Settings > General > Usage
    2.  There was an issue with your internet connection so the update did not download properly.
    3.  One of the many update steps got interrupted somehow

    To be clear, you cannot get your phone "factory unlocked".
    In order to be factory unlocked, it is manufactured unlocked to any carriers at the factory.
    Phones that are locked cannot be "factory unlocked".
    They can be carrier unlocked (in some cases as Niel describes).

  • I can't open apps in my iPhone after synced to iTunes.

    I'm having problem with iTunes, seems like everytime i sync my iPhone after it finish synced, I can't open some of the apps. I even try to find my apps (new) in iTunes, but it's not in the library. But if I started install any new app, the apps that can't open earlier is working OK again. Why?
    Just a note, before the iOS 5, I use one Apple ID, then after updated my iPhone with the iOS 5, I accidentally created another Apple ID. So now I got two ID.
    Now everytime I update my old app using the old ID & for the new app installed they asked me using the new ID. Is that the cause of it?
    Additional info: My iTunes also updated (10.6) & I am using Dell with Microsoft Vista. Now I am on iOS 5.1 for my iPhone 4.
    Please help me as this is very irritating. I never have this problem before.

    I mean,  is everything the same compared to update when connect to Itunes?. then it is much easier. You don´t need to do a thing, and get everything updated. For example a new app you have bought with your iphone

  • HT5624 How do I update my Apple ID on iPad and iPhone after changing it?

    How do I update my Apple ID email address on iPhone and iPad after changing the email but not password.  I have verified my new email on iPhone iPad and iMac but settings on all for iCloud still show my old email address. I can't use anything now that needs my Apple ID

    Hello there, Chivs86.
    From what it sounds like you are wanting to sign out of iCloud with the "old" ID and sign in with the new. The following Knowledge Base article should help you with that issue:
    iCloud: Features that work with one account at a time on iOS 5 and OS X Lion or later
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4020
    Specifically:
    To change a secondary account to a primary account
    iOS 5 or later:
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Delete the secondary account.
    Tap the Back button.
    Tap iCloud.
    Delete the primary account.
    Add the secondary account that you want to be your primary account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Can't hear anything on my iphone after syncing

    Hey, someone please help!
    I've just synced my iPhone and that was all ok.  Now, I can't hear anything on my iPhone.  It rings, but I can't hear the other person speaking, also when I make a call, I can't hear anyone unless I put it on loudspeaker!
    I restored (and used the last backup I had before my sync just now) but it still the same.
    Any ideas?

    Hello Angela,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone.  I recommend the following steps for an issue like this:
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

  • Can Apple Store unlock my Iphone 4 so that it works with T-Mobile service

    Can I get my Iphone 4 unlocked from ATT service to use with T-Mobile service?

    Obviously that answer is now out-of-date.
    I was simply trying to help someone.  What value did your responses provide to the actual question asked? 
    Seems like you are both responding with nit picky comments because this forum is probably your entire life and you love to argue the infinite details of why anyone can post on a PUBLIC forum without being picked apart by uber nerds.
    ANY response to THIS post will certainly prove it. 

  • Can't receive calls on locked iphone after 2.0.1 update

    since i updated my original iphone from 1.4 to 2.0.1 firmware, i have the following problem: when the iphone is in use, it receives calls just fine. but once the phone is locked (that is, the screen is black), all of a sudden it can't receive calls anymore. it does not ring or vibrate. only after it is unlocked again, i get a "missed calls..." message. any ideas?

    Actually, it appears there is an issue with 7.1.1 which a lot of us are experiencing. See here:
