Can we unlock our iphone since there's the option to buy it unlocked?

Hi, I bought my iphone 4 on october 10' and, since I live in brazil, I could not use it. Since Apple has started selling unlocked Iphones, is there a way I can get apple to unlock mine?

I was not aware they would later reverse there thinking and come out with unlocked phones.
No-one was. That's what I mean by "things change over time". Maybe the exclusivity agreement with AT&T has expired. Maybe AT&T have changed their minds and now allow Apple to sell unlocked iPhones?
Even yesterday, supposedly knowledgable journalists were saying Apple would never sell unlocked iPhone's in the US:

How clueless does that guy look now..?
As far as your situation is concerned, Apple cannot unlock your iPhone without the authority of the network to which it is locked. So, AT&T will have to give Apple permission to unlock it. Currently, AT&T have not announced any change to their policy of not allowing AT&T iPhone's to be unlocked by Apple.

    Hello, I would like to unlock your Iphone, but there is the Problem, it is bound to the operator AT & T and I have no contract. How do I unlock it from etogo operator?

    You contact AT&T and find out if it, and you, are eligible for an unlock. ONLY AT&T can authorize unlocking it.

  • I downloaded an album and it shows up on all my devices but on my iPhone 5 there is the cloud icon on most of the songs but when I tap it nothing happens and I can't play the song.

    I downloaded an album and it shows up on all my devices but on my iPhone 5 there is the cloud icon on most of the songs but when I tap it nothing happens and I can't play the song. All the songs play on my iPad and MacBook. It seems like my iPhone will not let me download the rest of the songs, and I have 3.5 GB of remaining space. Help!

    You're welcome.  I've never set up an alias but according to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622,
    "The text you provide becomes the email address ([email protected]). An alias must contain between 3 and 20 characters."
    This certainly implies that the alias is not required to be your registered name, and only becomes the prefix for a new @me.com address.  There might be something going on with the servers right now as they are probably very focused on getting ready for the iPhone 5 pre-order release, which is supposed to happen any minute now.  You might have better luck if you waited a while.

  • I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhone

    I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhones to detect any surveillance apps(bugs) on them?

    Whose Apple ID are you using? It sounds like whoever co-opted the account may have changed the security questions as well.
    Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.

  • My wife and I have been texting on our iPhones. All of the sudden all messages are being sent as text. We cannot seem to make the iMessage work.

    My wife and I have been texting on our iPhones. All of the sudden all messages are being sent as text. We cannot seem to make the iMessage work. Any ideas?

    Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
    It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
    since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours,  I dont know.......

  • Can my wife I each use our personal itunes accounts at the store to buy apps or ibooks on "our", that is, the same ipad2?

    Can my wife I each use our personal itunes accounts at the store to buy apps or ibooks on "our", that is, the same ipad2?

    Yes you can!
    All you need is to log out from the App store and log with the Apple ID that you wish to use on buying apps or books from the stores.
    Do note that if you have apps in the iPad purchase using two different Apple IDs, whenever there is an update you need to log into the appropriate Apple ID to install the update. Though the device will show you the apps that needed updates but it will only update when it is logged in to the Apple ID that has purchased the app. So what you need to do is to log in to the appropriate Apple ID get the update then log out and log in with the other Apple ID for the other updates if relevant.

  • HT4526 I have difficulty in hearing conversation around the table when many are speaking. Can I put my Iphone 4 3G in the centre of the table and tune it to my hearing aid to join in the converstion?

    I have difficulty in hearing conversation around the table when many are speaking. Can I put my Iphone 4 3G in the centre of the table and tune it to my hearing aid to join in the converstion?

    There are hearing aids that support a BlueTooth connection to a phone. However, to make that work, you'd need to put someone elses phone in the middle of the table, then call it from your phone which you had connected to your aids using BT. I can't imagine that the quality of a call over speaker phone would really be good enough to help, though.
    Best of luck.

    Then you'll NEVER be able to re-activate the phone. This is called Activation Lock & there is no way around it if you don't know that info.

  • So can I use our local internet provider for the e-mail account, or do I have to use Apple?

    So can I use our local internet provider for the e-mail account, or do I have to use Apple?

    Yes, you can use the Mail app on the iPod for your internet mail provider.  Go to your provider's mail support website to find out how to set up the account on the iPod.  They probably will not have instructions for an iPod but the one for the iPhone should do.

  • I had over 200 e-mails.  I went to my webmail and deleted most of them.  However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails.  How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server?  Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well?  Thanks.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Can i use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air

    Can I use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air?

    It's really not recommended. The iPhone's 5w charger does not output enough current to properly charge the battery. It -may- charge but if it did, it would charge the iPad very slowly.
    This would be like trying to fill a bucket of water (iPad) with a squirt gun (5w charger)
    Also under iOS 7, the charging requirements are much stricter than iOS 6. You'll likey get an error message if you try.

  • I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

    I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

    Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
    I thought the libraries were the same.

  • I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

    You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
    The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device
