Can I Use my Iphone with other carrier after 2 years of contract

Hi,
I have a iphone purchased a iphone 3 years before with 2 years of service contract is US. My service contract is over and I want to use this phone with other carriers in India. But getting an error Invalid SIM. Please let me know what do I need to do to get it working.
Regards,
Madhav

You would have to contact and have the same US mobile carrier that the iphone is locked to "unlock" it.  ONLY that specific carrier can unlock it.  No one else can.
Hope this helps

    Hello guys! I have a problem. I bought my iphone 5 from Bulgaria with contract from Globul operator, but i change my operator and i want to use my iphone with other chip, but i can't. I go to the office of Globul operator but they told me it's locked with us, they told me your contract with us must be finish and after that. And can i have a chance to unlocked my iphone before.

    No. Since Globul is one holding the lock and they told you only after your contract expires then there is no way to get it unlocked.

  • I want to buy an iphone 5s (GSM, SIM-Free). While I travelling to India, can I use the iphone with a local-SIM in INDIA.

    I want to buy an iphone 5s (GSM, SIM-Free).
    While I travelling to India, can I use the iphone with a local-SIM in INDIA.

    I am looking into buying an iphone 5s (GSM, SIM-Free) from apple store in US.
    While in India, I am looking to use it with a local-SIM (Local carrier) in INDIA (Eg: Airtel, Vodaphone etc). Will it work ?
    While browsing iphone products in the Apple store, I did not find any iphone referring to "Unlocked" but ended up with SIM-free as the only option (http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5s/64gb-gold-unlocked?aid=www-k2-ipho ne%205s%20-%20index-n@p&cp=k2-iphone%205…).
    I also found the following information from the apple store - When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5s from a local GSM carrier. The unlocked iPhone 5s model is A1533 (GSM).
    If Apple is the only source of unlocked iphones, could someone provide the link to the store.

  • How can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    how can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

  • Can I use my iPhone with home?

    Can I use my iPhone with home?

    Possibly. With iOS 4.3 and later, you can stream audio from third-party apps, like Pandora Radio, installed on your iPhone ONLY if the developer for the app has added AirPlay functionality. I did a quick review of this app from the Apple App Store and it did not mention having this feature.

  • Can I use my iPhone with my Mac and PC's iTunes?

    Can I use my iPhone with my Mac and PC's iTunes interchangeably?
    Will it erase all my songs?
    I am assuming since both versions of iTunes (Mac and PC) are registered under my email it's okay--- would that be right?
    I don't want to have to put back each song again
    thanks in advance!
    aaron

    With the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer. Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer. However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.

  • My current carrier is T-Mobile.  Can I use the iPhone with them?

    My current carrier is T-Mobile.  I'd like to buy an iPhone.  Can I use T-Mobile with the iPhone?

    There is a great deal of confusion about the contract-free T-Mobile iPhone 6.  Even some Apple support insist it is NOT an unlocked iPhone and must be activated on the T-Mobile network and used for at least 40 days before T-Mobile will unlock it.  So you would be better off not going that way at this time.
    In addition, an iPhone purchased in the US will not have a warranty or support from Apple outside the US.  The iPhone has to be sent back to someone in the US to represent you in dealing with Apple if there are problems with it.

  • Can I use 2 iPhones with the same iTunes account? help...

    At the moment I have an iPhone 3G but my wife doesn't. I have a Windows Vista machine at home that has all our music in iTunes and all the apps I have downloaded from the app store. We only have 1 login to our windows vista PC that we share, we don't have individual signons.
    On Friday I will be upgrading to the 3Gs and my wife will also be getting one.
    My question is can we sync both iPhones with the same PC using the same Windows login and the same iTunes account, i.e. share all music and apps with both iPhones?
    Thanks

    A computer can sync a dozen iPods and/or iPhones (just saying).
    However, You can't use more than one computer for that iPhone.

  • Can we use our ipods with other music services?

    I have not been able to get into the music store for close to 3 weeks now, I have been round and round with these discussion boards and articles and unanswered emails to Apple... I want to leave and go with rhapsody or someone else, BUT can I use my ipod with these sites or does it HAVE to be Itunes??

    a service like itunes is subscripiton based is it not?
    No, the iTunes Music Store is not a subscription. It's a single-time pay; once you buy a track, you own it forever. Subscription sites are ones where you pay every month (or whatever) to listen to the tracks they make available. If you stop paying, you lose access to all the tracks.
    And if you pay for a song, why wouldnt you be able to burn it onto a cd, or do they just let you put it on your pc?
    It depends on the site. Not all allow you to burn audio CDs, even if you pay outright for the track. None of the subscription services allow burning to audio CD.
    And do you mean napster or bearshare sites?
    Napster yes. Bearshare is a Gnutella client which is just another P2P network like Limewire, and similarly consists mostly of pirated tracks, viruses, worms and trojans.
    helful as eveyone has been, none of these solutions has fixed the problem!
    Again, sorry, but as I said, you didn't answer the most important questions. For instance, you said you were using a corporate network, but you never said whether or not you'd addressed the issue with your network administrators, something that Toonz asked you two or three times. If your company's firewall is blocking the addresses and ports needed to connect to the iTMS, there's nothing you nor Apple can do to fix the problem.

  • Can I use unlocked iPhone with bad ESN in South America?

    I want to buy an unlocked iPhone 4s or newer but it has a bad ESN/IMEI/MEID. I read that even though it is blacklisted and can’t be used in the USA and Canada, it can be used in most of the world’s GSM carriers (assuming a compatible frequency). Assume the iPhone is GSM and the carrier abroad is GSM too. Because it has a bad ESN it’s cheaper.
    But I’d like to buy the phone in Canada and test it here before I leave the country so I can return it if something doesn’t work. How can I test it? I read that data might work wherever there’s public Wifi but I mean I wanna test if it can actually make calls and text. Is there usually problems with those features with used iPhones? Do any carriers abroad check the ESN blacklist and not allow the phone?
    I also read that some phones have a country code lock, which says that the phone won't connect to systems with particular country codes and that cracking the country code lock is a lot more difficult than the SIM unlock. Is this true or usual in iPhones?
    For the record, "bad ESN" isn't exactly a synonym for "stolen phone”.

    No, it's a synonym for 'very likely to be stolen, and more problem than it's worth, don't waste your money'.

  • Previous laptop crashed, got a new laptop but I can't use my iphone with it

    My old laptop crashed and is now inaccessible. Not only is all my music on itunes on that computer, but it was also the computer that I used to sync my iphone 4 with for updates, music, and other media files. So now with my new laptop, I can't put more music on my iphone 4 and I can't download the iOS 5 update.I can authorize my itunes account on my new laptop, but I can't download the update or manage the music on my iphone without clearing everything that is on my iphone. Retrieving the music wouldn't be a problem if all my music was bought from itunes on my account, however a large part of my music is from other sources. I'd also like to download the iOS 5 update without completely wiping out my iphone 4.
    Any way I can sync my iphone with my new laptop that won't clear my iphone's memory? And is it possible to get my music from my old laptop back? I know this question is similar to others that have previously been asked, but its different in that my old laptop is completely inaccessible.
    Extra info:
    -I tried to backup my old laptop when it was pretty much dead. I was able to backup some files, however not my music.
    -Both laptops are PCs.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    What exactly is it that you are concerned about losing.
    What did you have before your new Mac.
