No, the original carrier in your former country has to initiate the unlock process.
Look them up in this document to see if they offer unlocking. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937

Can someone please explain and help me? I am unlocking an iphone4 from at&t to use it on the straight talk network. They've confirmed my request to do this and I am now a little confused as to what to do next. They want me to back up the phone using itunes on either a MAC or PC. I do not have an aplle computer but I do have an acer. Sooo, can I use it to do this? Or do I even have to do this to unlock and switch the iphone4 over to a new network? If I do have to what can I do to do this because like I said I do not have a computer by apple? Can anybody walk me through what I need to do next please? I've been waiting to do this for a very long time and I now have the option to have an iphone and use it. Thanks to my awesome boyfriend who Gave me his old iphone when he swapped back to an android. Hahahaha! Please anybody!? Because I sooo don't know what I'm doing and really do not want to mess the phone Or the process up. Thanks to any and all who read this and help me! It is greatly appreciate it!
Install iTunes on your Acer and you can back up the iPhone. Or back it up to iCloud. If you do not back it up you can get it unlocked, but you will lose all of your content.
You can get iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes.
Even after unlocking I'm not sure it will work on Straight Talk, because last time I checked ST used Verizon as its carrier, and an AT&T iPhone 4 is not compatible with Verizon's network. You can probably use it on Net 10 or T-Mobile once it is unlocked. -
how can I unlock my iphone??? on the screen I only have the apple logo and a thing that looks like if the phone is working but no advance
Hi,
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

I don't understand why Austin Police are not doing to detain theft when I showed an location with valid address according Find my iPhone on icloud.com. They said that it might be wrong location but few blocks were correct location. I stopped at Apple Retail Store to get another unlocked iphone. I explained an employee whether they would add both IMEI and serial number into blacklist to make useless for anyone. They said they have nothing to doing.
I'm shocked today that IMEI number is still not added into blacklist. Serialnumber of my stolen iphone is already on another Apple ID, after restoring it.
They let me down because unlocked iphone is EXPENSIVE, it costs $800 in Canada.
How can I deal with Apple Inc to add both serial number and IMEI into blacklist UNTIL i get my stolen iphone backWhat blacklist? There is no universal blacklist in the US. They're working on it, but it does not exist as of this writing.
Apple can't do anything about it. They are not a law enforcement agency. -

How can i unlock my iphone 4 from apple
I'm staying in Bangladesh..... I've bought an iphone from a store near pann Station of NY.....I've asked them before buy whether it was unlock or nt...and they said it is unlocked.....After return to my country ...when i entered local sim ..seen it is locked. From the very beginning it's carrier is AT&T which i don't know and basically i didn't handle iphone before.Than i've tried to jail break through several types/times but it won't work..and current situation of my phone is always DFU mode or Showing apple logo....As such i wanted to get a temporary or permanent solution....how it will work...? does apple provide any paid service,,? Pls help me if any body knows abt it.............
As was mentioned, your only option is to sell it on ebay or return the phone. However, seeing that you have attempted to jailbreak, and something went wrong, which also voids the warranty, so it is likely that your phone can't be returned.
However, you can still sell it on ebay and get your money back. You may want to mention that the phone is not working. Some people buy them for parts. -

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can buy an iPhone 5 at an Apple Retail Store to use it wherever you want with the carrier you have -
I just got an apple at&t iphone 4 and I have it unlocked. But I want to connect it to t-mobile, so I trimmed my sim card and once the phone was unlocked I inserted the sim and it says no sim, activation error. What can I do to fix this? What is wrong?

Wait.. Everything on iTunes worked, but when I insert my sim it brings me to the start were I have to choose my language, etc... Then it says activation error.. Are you sure it's the sim card?
As you addressed me that is exactly what I said
Dodgy trimming ?? get a new micro sim from T-Mobile -
I have an unlocked iphone 4s bought from apple. Will be in London and Paris and would like to know if how I can purchase a data plan while on vacaqtion
Can I still use the phone in Boston when I move there?
Only on a supported GSM carrier.
Will there be networks I cant use?
Yes. CDMA networks.
As I understand it the 4S supports GSM and CDMA networks worldwide.
No, you've misunderstood. The GSM iPhone you can buy in Ireland supports GSM networks only i.e. AT&T -
Dear Apple,
I have an iPhone 4 32GB (black), i bought from softbank, japan. Now, I have recently finished a graduate and i'll comeback home in Laos. But i can't continue to use my iphone.
Could you please help me to unlock my phone so I can use it with other carrier Sims. I would appreciate it.
Please let me know if you could help me out. Thanks again.
<Edited by Host>Like ckuan said, Apple does not unlock iPhone; your carrier does, provided that the carrier offers this service.
Unfortunately, SoftBank does not offer authorized unlocking of iPhone.
Your best option is to sell this phone and buy another iPhone from the carrier of your choice or better buy a factory unlocked iPhone so you would be able to use it with any compatible GSM carrier around the world. -
I bought this iPhone while backpacking through Europe 2 years ago. It was the first thing i did after i got off the airplane to help me navigate, book hostels, trains, flights, and talk with family back home. it cost me around 700-800 US dollars, full price since they do pricing/contracts different over in the UK.
It's been a couple years, and I'm ready to ditch my 6 year old Samsung and move on to this iPhone. The problem is, since i wasn't using the UK service for a while, they dropped my number/user account completely and they can no longer unlock my iPhone. I talked to AT&T and the Apple store, and they said that the only way I can unlock my iPhone is by contacting the service company that i originally purchased this from--whom can't help since i no longer have an account with them.
How do i LEGALLY unlock this iPhone for use in the US?Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone is locked can unlock it.
You may have to get a PayAsYouGo sim from that provider to activate
your account with them so you can get the iPhone unlocked.
There is not other legal way to unlock the iPhone for use with other than
the wireless carrier to which it is locked. Contact them to see what options
they offer for re-activating the iPhone on their network. -
Do Apple unlock iPhones in store
No. Apple does not unlock iPhones for end users at all. Only the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it, which is done through iTunes by the user once the unlock is approved. Contact the carrier the phone is locked to and see if you qualify.

my 4 digit password is not being recognized on my phone AND i am unable to restore my iphone on my old PC, can an apple store restore my phone and unlock it?
Contact Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 to find out. But they will most likely tell you what you already know...it needs to be restored against the computer is was last linked with.

Does anybody know how to switch carriers of the Iphone, I bought it at the apple store, there was this guy that told my mother that he said that it was possible to do it online for free, but I can't find it!! does anyone know what to do??
Carriers lock phones. Only Carriers can unlock them. Contact the carrier to whom your phone is locked. See if they allow unlocking, and if they do, what the qualifications are.
