Can i unlock the american contract phone in india
i wanna buy iphone 6 in usa which cost around 200$, and can it be unlocked in india for usage with indian networks.
More precisely, the $200 price is the subsidized price that U.S. carriers charge for a phone purchased with a two year contract. If you choose to cancel service, you then need to pay the early termination fee (ETF). whether that phone works on international networks depends upon from whom you purchased the phone, and in some cases, that carrier's policies.
For example, a subsidized iPhone purchased from Verizon will work on other GSM networks without any need to unlock the device. Both AT&T and T-Mobile, however, require you to have an account with them for a period of time before they will unlock your device.
Your other option is to purchase the device at full price from either Verizon or, easier, directly from Apple. According to others, any iPhone purchased at funk price from Apple (except the Sprint version), will be factory unlocked. I can confirm that for the Verizon and T-Mobile phones.

I have forgot my Iphone passcode. Itunes will not let me restore it, i do not have icloude,or find my iphone,and the closest itunes store is 4 hours away how can i unlock, or reset my phone?
Try this:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
* If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -
My phone was run over. It still works enough to see some of the screen but not the number pad. I cannot unlock the phone because I activated find my iphone. How can I unlock the phone so I can save my photos? Is there a way to unlock it from find my iphone. It was not backed up in iCloud. When I plug it into my computer, the computer tells me that I have to unlock it first. Help?
No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
Thanks. -

I use find my iphone but by mistake I locked it so how can I unlock the phone.
If it has been Disabled after entering the wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer. There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

I got a Iphone 4S internet like free(UNLOCK) but is not... This Iphone is lock with Orange (SPAIN) How can I unlock the Iphone now¿?
"Ok, but Whats happen if the carrier said that I need the first contract personal information.."
Then you need the first contract personal information.
" I Know that all the companys have to unlock de phone... ¿?¿?"
Not true.
"Apple could help me then¿?¿? unlocking the Iphone beacuse Apple always have the last word...
No. Apple has no part in the decision ot lock or unlock at all. Lock/unlock is 100% the decision of the carrier. Apple has nothing to do with this decision. -

Why I can not unlock the record when close a page?
I develop a jsp page as client,the jsp application use a business componment with statefull application module.i call a database rowset's lock function in jsp page to lock a record,now,after i close the jsp page without commit and rollback,the record is not unlocked,until i restart the oc4j application server.how can i unlock the record when close the page without commit and rollback?????
Li Ping:
If you lock a row in the course of a transaction, you cannot unlock the row until the end of transaction (either rollback or commit). DBMS doesn't allow this.
Alternatively, you can try to delay locking of the row. E.g., you can try using optimistic locking. Please see the Java Doc for oracle.jbo.Transaction if you're interested in optimistic locking.
Thanks.

How can I change the order of phone numbers in a contact?
I have contacts that have more than one phone number (I am sure we all have those in this day and age). The importance of the phone numbers varies over time and I want to have the most important one as first on the list. How can I change the order that phone numbers are displayed within a contact?
Thanks for any help.Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.
