Hello, how to unlock the iphone 4.

my friend have bought a iphone 4 in LA, BestBuy, when he came to UK, he switch the carrier into the Vodafone, the phone can't read it, what wrong?

The iPhone is probably locked to a US carrier .Only that carrier can unlock the iPhone before it will work with another carrier
Locking is a Carrier thing ,nothing to do with Apple

    Hello,how much does the iphone 4 16gb unlocked cost if i want to buy it as a gift and to use it outside USA?

    If you're talking about buying the phone in the US, forget it. There are NO unlocked iPhones sold in the US and no US iPhone can be officially unlocked. Thus, it doesn't really matter what it costs.

  • How to unlock the iphone if i forgot it

    how do you unlock my iphone if you forgot it

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
    Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

  • HT201441 how to unlock the iphone when it is relatd to other previous user apple id

    how to  Removing a device from a previous owner’s account

    Nobody on these boards can do that. Until the previous owner removes the activation lock, the device is useless to you; Apple won't remove it unless presented with the original receipt of purchase, and unless you're the registered owner, proof that they're dead.

    I need help, I use my phone for everything enclusive to work. I appreciate if you can help. I'm from Brazil. My name and giullia.

    Did you purchase this device from Apple or an authorized reseller? It sounds as if you had a device that was jailbroken/hacked to operate on your carrier. Upon updating the iOS, it is now locked back to the original carrier the device was locked to.
    Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. You will need to make contact with that carrier and see if they provide unlocking services, and if they do, if you qualify for an unlock. Otherwise, you are out of luck. One that carrier can take care of the unlocking.

    Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
    If you do not meet their requirements or they do not offer unlocking there is no official way to unlock the device.
    Who is your carrier?

    Contact the carrier to whom it is locked, inquire about their process to unlock, and if you qualify.
