Factory unlock or not?

hi
i wonder whether or not my iphone 3gs is factory unlock? how can i learn this?
thanx

If you know what country in which it was purchased, and from which carrier, you can check it with the info on the following page. Unfortunately, there is no longer a listing of model numbers associated with country/carrier.

You could also call Apple support with the model and SN. They should be able to tell you.

  • Can somebody tell me whether iphone 5S model A1453 comes factory unlocked or not ?

    Hello there , i just want to confirm that whetgher iphone 5S model A1453 comes FACTORY UNLOCKED or not ?

    Hi,
    See  this http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
    If after a restore the iPhone was activated with idea sim, in all probability it is FUL. As there are only two supported carriers in India, Airtel and Aircel.
    From the support doc it would be evident that you bought a different iPhone model which is not marketed in India.
    You may be able to get all services here except LTE which is locked to any one of the listed for the model and selling US carrier.

    Need your kind support in this regards.

    Ask whoever you bought it from or call Apple Care and give them the serial number. If you'd purchased it from an authorized source, you wouldn't have this problem.

  • How do i know if my iphone5 is factory unlocked or not?

    how do i know if my iphone5 is factory unlocked or not?

    And the answer is in all of that rhetoric above...the simple way to tell as a user is to take the sim out, put in a sim for another carrier and see if the iPhone activates.  If it does, it is not locked.  If it does not, it is locked.
    If you bought this iPhone used, you will not be able to tell if it was unlocked when Apple sold it or if it was unlocked by a carrier after sale.
    If the iPhone is locked, as Apple told you, then it was sold locked.  iPhones Apple sells unlocked do not get themselves locked during use or activation.  They stay unlocked.  So, if the iPhone is locked now it was not sold as unlocked by Apple.

    Absolutely NOT true. Apple stores in the UK, Canada, France...and many other places sell officially unlocked iPhones, so do many online Apple stores. Fact is, in many places in the world it is against the law to sell carrier locked phones.

    Don't post personal information.
    You may have a defective sim card. Get another sim card from the cell provider.

  • Factory Unlocked or not - and the way forward..

    Okay, so a few weeks ago I bought two iPhone 5’s while on vacation in Dubai. We moved to the middle east earlier this year and I was aware of certain phones not having facetime on them and all that, so anyway, went to a store and the guy said they were factory unlocked iphone 5’s. Paid the man, went home.
    Yes I should have bought them from the official Apple store and all that but hear me out. This is where my doubts about one of the phone’s being “official factory unlocked” stem from.. The black one, mine, is probably factory unlocked as I can see the cellular data settings and everything. In the white one, my wife’s phone, I can’t see the cellular data settings, and so had to Google the alternative way of setting up the APN, etc. Did it through a website that does it for you, and voila! Data was working just fine for her as well. (btw just to add, her phone says LTE on/off mine says 3G on/off – we live in Bahrain and there’s no 4G for iPhone here anyway as the networks don’t support it).
    My question here now is.. with iOS 7 coming out – will we (more importantly, SHE) be able to upgrade to iOS 7 without having any issues? And more importantly, if the cellular data settings are still blocked, will websites such as unlockit help me get APN settings on iOS7 – or is this affected by which version of iOS you’re using etc.
    These are our first iPhones, and we’re loving them – we could well go and try to get her phone changed because a friend knows the store’s owner. But if there won’t be anything to worry about in the future, should we just chill? It will be a mini-headache sending it through courier and asking him to either give us the money or give us a factory unlocked phone or whatever. In either case, when the hew iPhone comes out we will definitely be pre-ordering and getting it delivered to our London address.
    Any help would be appreciated guys!  
    Expert advice needed please. Thank you for your time!

    Wouldn't have said it if not true
    There is no Apple presence in Bahrain for iPhones ,support is carrier based
    UK number is
    (44) 0844 209 0611
    or maybe 020 8433 4600 ( thanks to saynoto0870 )
    if that helps they may well tell you
    or anther ME state see list here

  • My USA purchased iPhone 4S factory unlock is not working in India as it gets no signal bars

    Hi,
    I got my iPhone 4S from USA, which came with AT&T sim in it. It was sold as factory unlocked but when I inserted Indian sim card in it , there appeared the name of the service provider but no signals.
    Can anybody help as what best can be done to resolve this issue.
    Please help. !

    You do not have an unlocked iPhone 4S. Those have not yet been released in the US, and will never be available from AT&T. You may have an iPhone purchased without a contract, but it is locked to AT&T, who do not unlock iPhones at any time for any reason. Return the iPhone to the place you purchased it and get your money back, since you will not be able to use that iPhone with an Indian carrier. I'd suggest you wait until the iPhone 4S is released in India rather than purchase from another country, since the warranty on the iPhone is valid only in the country of original sale.
    Regards.
