How to unlock my locked iphone fast?

How can I unlock my locked iphone that's completely locked?

You'll need to connect the iPhone to your computer and restore it:

If that still doesn't work, try DFU mode:

Iphone 6 64GB (model: A1586) + Sprint Carrier + have paid full price of 749 USD (excl taxes in Nov 2014) = Unlocked or Locked Iphone 6??

Hi all,
How should I start. Will try to keep it short and to the point:
I was in US in Nov 2014 for work
In Nov 2014, I have purchased on online Apple Store US in first instance an Iphone 6 64GB (model: A1549) with T-mobile carrier (unlocked version) for a price of 749 USD (excluding taxes & etc)
Upon arrival at Apple Store at Monterey, CA, to pick up above purchase. I had discussed with Apples sales person that I lived in The Netherlands and that latter purchase should be compatible on the Dutch mobile phone carrier: Vodafone and that full LTE-capabilities would work in The Netherlands.
This Apple Sales person had advised me that I should purchase a different model and should change from model: A1549 to model: A1586.
He showed me this website: https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/. Based on this site and his expertise, I believed him and have changed above model and have purchased an Iphone 6 64GB (model: A1586) with Sprint Carrier for price of 749 USD (exl taxes & etc)
I have read so many stories online, that I am screwed with this above purchase, because I have purchased a simlocked Iphone and that I will not be able to use this phone to its fullest capabilities and also not workable with my Dutch simcard of Vodafone.
I kindly ask your expertise opinion, whether my Iphone 6 64GB (model: A1586) + Sprint Carrier + have paid full price of 749 USD (in Nov 2014) is sim-"Unlocked" or sim-"Locked" Iphone??
If "Locked", are there any solution to have it unlocked since start of, I think, Jan or Feb 2015 Sprint carrier will be selling unlocked Iphone 6. Prior to latter date, it doesn't say whether they will apply this retrospectively for other phones as well.
If "Unlocked", please confirm how I can check this? If I look at the current price for the Iphone 6 with the Sprint carrier and 2 year contract. This combination is being sold for 199 USD (excl taxes). I would think that my Iphone is unlocked since I have paid 749 USD (excl taxes) in Nov 2014.
Please, please help me guys...I guess this is lesson learned for me the next time to do a better research before buying any Apple Iphones in US to be used in Europe (in this case The Netherlands).
Thank you in advance for your help and taking a look into this issue.

Hi Peter,
I did insert my Dutch Vodafone simcard on the Iphone and it works.
I read on some newsgroup that at some point I will not be able to make use this phone, because Sprint would give a certain window to activate the Iphone and if you don't do it, then it would lock the usage of any simcard beside a Sprint simcard. Due to latter, I got nervous and wanted to check this to be sure that there is no need to get stressed all about it.
Indeed, you are right, just checked the model of my Iphone 6 an can confirm is a (CDMA) Sprint MG6G2LL/A.
I am not sure what you mean whether I have "activated" my Iphone. For my understanding, could you please explain what you mean with "activate"?
Did I need to follow certain procedures on the Iphone? I just took out the Sprint carrier simcard when I came back to NL and just popped in my Dutch Vodafone simcard on this phone and was able to internet with LTE and receive and make calls.
When I purchased this Iphone in US, there was indeed a Sprint carrier simcard in the iphone. I never did anything with this Sprint carrier simcard.
I had only made of use of this Iphone in US and in The Netherlands:
of its (free) wi-fi capabilities on the road during my stay in US and
had tested it in US by inserting a Dutch T-mobile simcard and a Dutch Vodafone simcard in this Iphone.
And I was able to calls and receive calls with both Dutch simcards on this Iphone in US.
Upon arrival back in The Netherlands I was able to make use of the 4G/LTE capabilities.
But did find out that sometimes it would act weird and therefore I had linked it that it was due to the Sprint simlock.
Based on above facts, what would your answer be? Did I miss something else that I needed to take account on?
And to be frankly, looking at the paid price for the Iphone 6 64GB of approx 749 USD (paid in Nov 2014) and the price offered for a Iphone 6 64GB icm Sprint subscription would be 299 USD (as of today, Jan 2015). I would assume that I have unlocked version. Wouldn't you agree on this?

Unlocked and locked iPhone

Whats is an unlocked iPhone???? , and what is a locked iPhone????

No. There is nothing written on the phone or the box that will identify a locked or unlocked phone, with the possible exception of a carrier logo, which will pretty much always indicate that the device is locked. Lack of a carrier logo is NOT a guarantee that the phone is unlocked.
What an intelligent consumer will do is purchase the phone from an authorized source instead of buying a gray market phone from an untrusted party.

How to unlock Icloud lock iphone 5

i am buy the iphone 5 in london but icloud is locked plz help to unlock the icloud my money will waste plz help Thanks You In advance

The only way to get past the activation lock is to have the Apple ID and password from the original owner. If you do not or cannot get this, then the phone is useless to you. Return it for a refund if possible.

Unlock Icloud locked IPhone 5 ?

Hi , so I decided to join the apple side and buy an Iphone, I did a little shopping on Ebay ; not being knowledgeable with the Apple softwares and such I bought an IPhone 5 that has been "Icloud Locked". After receiving my phone and falling in love with the design of it I attempt to activate it which fails. I researched more about this Icloud Locked thing only to discover that the owner of the account is the only one who can remove it along with any apple employee who you can proof original purchase receipt too. I have none of the two methods to unlock it. My question is I don't want a well designed paperweight , I want "my first IPhone" ... if I print out my eBay purchase receipt and bring it to my apple store can they unlock it for me ? - I know some of you may say to return the phone to the seller , but that is highly impossible because it was an as-is sale and it clearly said "Icloud Locked" . I really hope someone can help me out here because this is really dreadful having an amazing device that you can't actually use. its mocking me ,haha. - Thank You . - Giovanni

You can't remove the lock. Only the original owner can do that. Apple won't remove the lock for you because you are not the original owner. I'm afraid that if you can't return it, you have a paperweight.
Next time be sure to check here before buying a used phone from any source: https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/. If it's locked, don't buy it.

Unlocking a locked iPhone without iTunes or computer access

Hi all,
Sorry in advance for the umpteenth "locked out of my iPhone" question, but it's for my sister...
I understand from reading around that if I don't have access to a computer to restore my locked-out iPhone, I need to force the phone into recovery mode and then restore it. I've seen this URL quite a lot: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
My question is that the how-to in that URL seems predicated on access to a computer/iTunes? Is there a step-by-step guide if you have no access to a computer or iTunes for restoring, or is that not possible? Losing all data is not a concern for me (it probably is for her, but my understanding is there's no way to do this without losing all data... I hope she's backed it up!)
Thanks in advance.

Please read the earlier responses. It cannot be done. You have to restore the phone via iTunes after the carrier has authorized the unlock.

Unlocked or locked iphone 4

I ordered an iphone 4 from apple online store in Canada and I contacted with Sales Support by phone. They told me that my iphone 4 will be locked if I purchased an iphone 4 from apple online store and I can go to Rogers or Bell to pay some fees and they can unlock my iphone. So is it true? I don't know why I purchase an iphone 4 online but it's locked.

No.
I don't know why I purchase an iPhone 4 online but it's locked.
If you buy the iPhone at full price directly from Apple Canada it will be unlocked.

"When you purchase your iPhone from the Apple Online Store, you’ll get it commitment-free. So you can sign up for service with the carrier of your choice and change your carrier at any time."
If your iPhone from the Apple Canada online store is locked, something is wrong. The online order does not ask about carriers when you order, so what carrier would it be locked to?
If you buy at full price from an Apple Canada retail store they can also provide a free SIM for any Canadian carrier, but make sure they do not put the SIM on the phone's receipt or else that will lock the phone to the SIM's carrier.
If you buy it from any carrier, or use a carrier's discount at an Apple retail store, it will be locked to that carrier. Canadian carriers will not unlock iPhones, no matter how much you pay them.

How can i unlock(country lock) iphone?

i used to belong in United States and also used iphone4 at at&t. i did not know the country lock before i flighted to foreign country. One of my friend asked me about the country lock i had to have country unlock if i using this iphone from U.S to other country. So my question is how to do country unlock ?

You can't. Only the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it. AT&T will NOT do so under any circumstances.
Sell it and buy one you can use.

Unlock carrier locked iPhone(perhaps refurbished

Hello,
I've purchased a used iPhone 3GS 16gb 2 years ago.
The person selling the phone said that it was carrier locked to 3 in Denmark but it turned out that it was possible to use it with 3 in Sweden( where I live) as well. However when restoring it I need to start it up with a pre-paid 3 sim-card from Denmark, after that the Swedish one works fine.
Since the 2 year time period for unlocking must have expired I now thought about unlocking it, however when I contacted 3 in Denmark they couldn't find the IMEI number in their system...
So my question is could this be a refurbished phone? If so how can you then unlock it if the carrier can't find the IMEI number in their systems?

That may be because you have a Swedish sim in the iPhone ( if I followed your changes correctly )
All carriers need to see the iPhone active on their system before they can unlock
Must admit I haven't come across any time limit for unlocking
put the Danish sim in use it in or by the Danish mainland and they will then probably see it

Guys..i got silly question...about unlocked and locked iphone 4/4s in canada.

Is it true that if we buy iphone 4/4s from provider it is actually soft unlock...which mean that it will lock one the first sim we put in(not necessary the provider sim)?
i was planning to buy one in kijiji for my friend...

I suppose that would depend upon the provider.

Unlocked vs locked iphone 4s

i am planning to buy a new iphone 4s. which is better unlocked from apple store or locked one? please suggest me some good idea..
Thanks for reply and ur time.

"better" depends totally on how and with what carrier you wish to use the phone, and whether you are willing to pay the full cost of the phone up front or want the carrier to subsidize part of the purchase price as part of your contract for cell service. Without knowing where you live or what your intentions are, there's no way anyone here can offer any informed opinions.
Just to make sure you understand the terms, "locked" means that a phone is restricted to use with a single cell service provider. This usually comes as part of a contract with the carrier where the carrier pays part of the cost of the phone at the time of purchase. "unlocked" means that the phone is not restricted to use with any specific carrier. For that capability, though, you have to pay the full cost of the phone when you purchase.
Regards.

How to unlock a locked IPHONE 5 that's paid in full price ?

I just bought an IPHONE 5 16G $699 from the Walmart in USA. Never turn on the phone in USA. After I came back to Taiwan, I found my SIM card is not able to use ( screen shows SIM card is not supported by the carrier AT&T ) . If I put AT&T sim card back , it works but as IPOD , no telcom service. What should I do now ? please help....

I believe it's a no-commitment AT&T phones and I restored it with my sim card using ITunes. However the screen still shows " SIM NOT Valid ", "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate IPHONE. Please insert the SIM card that came with your IPHONE or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card" .
I contact AT&T , submit unlock request and ask my brother in CA to fax the recepit, then the web status shows :
I call AT&T , she just said I have to wait couple days. But is this normal with the above status.
I think I will refund it in the Walmart. For the whole event it's the ony lucky thing that I work in Airline.
