Have iPhone 3GS from Australia and have moved to UK how can I find out what network is locked into and how to unlock

Have a iPhone 3GS from australia given to me by my sister. I live in the UK and it won't accept my pay as you go sim card. I don't know which network it is locked into. What can I do to unlock it?

Your Sister will have to arrange for the iPhone to be unlocked in Australia
If it can be accomplished whilst iPhone is in UK
Fortunately all the Aussie carriers do offer unlocking

  • How can I find out what is on my macbook and not on my other macs that results in continual downloads from the satelite dish and resulting overcharges?

    How can I find out what is on my macbook  that results in continual usage and usage charges from the satelite dish when turned on, even in the middle of the night- which doesn't happen with my other macs?

    I have BusyCal installed, but no alarms that I could find.
    However, I do think I've found the source of the sound: the Firefox add-on "LiveJournal." It routinely checks my LJ and plays a "ding.wav" file whenever there are new posts to my Friends' page. I noticed that the sound started happening more frequently, but after I closed Firefox, it stopped. But since Firefox didn't have any sound/notification settings on its own, I thought to check the extensions, and voila!
    I'm pretty sure the problem is solved, but who knows if the sound will mysteriously return...

    Where did you acquire this iPhone? Ask the seller who it is
    locked to.
    If the iPhone has been hacked/modified/jailbroken to
    work on the AT&T network, any future attempts to unlock
    or update may render the iPhone unuseable - proceed
    with caution.
    Did you try to check unlock availability via the AT&T website?
    Perhaps the person you spoke to mis-keyed the number you
    gave him.

  • HT4582 hi I have bought an ipad mini which was advertised as unlocked, ipad has signal but says invalid sim, how to I find out what network it is locked to?

    hi I have bought an ipad mini wich was advertised as unlocked to any network, when I put nano sim from giff gaff in the ipad says invalid sim, how can I find out what network it is locked to?

    There is nothing on the iPad itself that can tell you. Did you buy it from a reputable retailer? You can try asking them.

  • I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s and it shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data.

    I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s. When I activated the newer phone, I believe I transferred over everything except pictures (had multiple failures trying to backup and restore). Now the phone shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data. It may be duplicated info that I don't need or I may want to archive the backup or parts of it like pictures.

    You can not access the backup directly.
    Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
    If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
    If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

  • I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I don't believe that there is a way to do that.  I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones.  You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
    Wish I could be more help.

  • HT201303 How can I find out what my security answers are? I am trying to purchase an app on a new device and it won't let me without answering and I have totally forgotten

    How can I find out what my security answers are? I am trying to purchase an app on a new device and it won't let me without answering and I have totally forgotten

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.

  • My hard drive is full, i'm being told i have 284.03 GB of other.  How can I find out what these files are so i can delete them?

    My Mac is telling me that my hard drive is almost full, i have used 7.65 GB for Audio. 16.58 GB for Movies, 9.89 GB for photos, 788.6 MB for Apps and 284.03 GB for Other.  how can i find out what "other" is so I can delete it?  I hope someone can help me.

    If OS X is reporting you need to remove some items you obviously have a more severe issue.
    To fix your issue is likely too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here as it sounds like a OS X issue, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state which may or may not require new hardware/software installed.
    If your under warranty or AppleCare, take it in for service.
    You can also hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
    Have them look at your Wifi, RAM amount, extra storage and computer backup proceedures in the process.
    Good Luck.

  • I have a massive 267GB yellow 'other' file in my memory. How can i find out what it is?

    I am cleaning up my Mac and have gone through the usual processes of removing downloads, emptying trash and other usual cleaning up of unwanted files.  On my memory storage I have a massive yellow "other" usage of 267Gb but cannot find out what this consists of.  I have the usual music and photo files but how can I find out what this consists of?

    If it doesn't correct itself after a reboot, the Spotlight database on your Mac may be corrupted. Try re-indexing: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support

  • How can I find out what is running in the background and running my batterie down

    How can I find out what is running in the background

    Hi simpbarby,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The links below will help you understand what apps are running on your iPhone.  You can quit the ones that you aren't using.
    iOS: Understanding multitasking
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
    This link will provides tips to conserving battery life:
    Apple - Batteries - iPhone
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    Optimize Your Settings
    Depending on how they are set, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 7.0 or later.
    Enable Wi-Fi: Having Wi-Fi enabled helps consume less power when doing activities that access data. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and log in to a Wi-Fi network.
    Adjust brightness: Dim the screen or turn on Auto-Brightness to extend battery life. Turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust based on lighting conditions.
    Fetch new data less frequently: The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch data manually: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually.
    Turn off push notifications: Apps with Push Notification alert you of new data, which may impact battery life. To disable, go to Settings > Notifications, choose the app you want to disable, and do the following:
    Change Alert Style to None.
    Turn Badge App Icon off.
    Turn Sounds off.
    Note: New data will be received when you open the app.
    Minimize use of location services: Apps that actively use location services, such as Maps, may reduce battery life. You can see which applications have recently used location services by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
    Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, which may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turn on Airplane Mode to increase battery life in these situations.
    Viewing Usage StatisticsKnowing and understanding your iPhone usage can help you better manage your battery life. To view your iPhone usage statistics, go to Settings > General > Usage. Under “Time since last full charge”:
    Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. iPhone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email.
    Standby: Amount of time iPhone has been powered on since its last full charge, including the time the phone has been asleep.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

    My iphone is toast, I know I checked on icloud and see my emails from the day before it happened. Can I see when and what my phone backed up through itunes or icloud?
    Please please help i am lost.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?
