If the receipt says "unlocked" (and not "SIM free") then it will work anywhere in the world that there is a GSM network. However, if it ever needs repair you will have to take it back to France.

    Dear sir
    I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
    Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
    And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
    Please tell me whats the matter?
    My phone serial no  86034HTCA4T
    Modem firmware  04.12.09
    Thanks

    Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
    the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
    contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
    used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
    iPhone unuseable.

  • I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but  it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
    I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
    Thanks,
    Best Wishes

    When did you buy it?
    Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
    What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.  Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

  • Iphone 4 model MC603B/A is not working with any sim card

    Hi,
    I just bought myself a Iphone 4 and it is not working with any sim card so far. So far I tried everything, even bought sim cards from different countries to see if that would work. I tried the sim cards in others phones and are working correctly in those.
    Several websites says that this phone is from the UK?! but even the sim cards from the UK arent working.
    I have the legit firmware form iTunes and im up to date. (no jailbreak or what so ever)
    Let me how to fix it.

    No, it is NOT OK to talk about jailbreaking either.
    As for why it is criminal, ONLY the carrier has the legal right to authorize unlocking it. In some countries (as it was in the US until recently and may be again soon) it is legal for an individual phone owner to unlock thier phone, it is not legal for a 3rd party to do so.  Also, those services are not just "unlocking" the phone, they are gaining unauthorized access to a commercial database. That is a crime in almost every civilized country.

  • Does iPad Air cellular t-mobile or any other work with Russian SIM card?

    Does iPad Air cellular t-mobile or any other work with Russian SIM card?

    Still looking for help with this issue, if anyone can help with some information.
    Like I said, I'm not a techno-idiot, I'm actually pretty savvy, but this really isn't my area of expertise, so I really really would appreciate some wiser minds than mine looking at this and giving me some information.
    Additional information that may help: when I go to Settings > Cellular Data > View Account > ,I get a system error message; it won't let me contact to my account and gives me a number. I assume I'll have to contact Verizon regarding my account, but I'm still wondering about the LTE sim question vs just a "regular" cellular signal.
    Does it even make sense what I'm asking or am I just being a complete and total idiot?
    Thanks again in advance for any clarifying information.

  • Why the imsg doesn't work without a sim card with iOS 7???

    Why the imsg doesn't work without a sim card with iOS 7???

    If it worked for you using iOS 6, then it appears iOS 7 has made some changes.  Was it working before?

  • Did the iphone works with egyptian sim card in egypt inspite of purchased from usa, did the iphone works in egypt dispite of purchased from usa

    dose the iphone work in egypt with egyptian sim card inspite of it purchased from usa

    If the iPhone is officially unlocked, then it should work with any compatible carrier anywhere. You will not get any support from Apple in Egypt for a US-sold iPhone, though.

  • I want to give my Iphone to my sister, but it does not work with her SIM card

    As far as I am aware, the phone was not locked to a particular network but never the less - the phone was bought on T-Mobile UK and she is trying to use a T-Mobile UK sim card. I wiped the phone before giving it to her. However, it is not working! Do I need to inform apple that I have given this device to somone else and they should be 'allowed' to acess the device. Do Iphones lock them seleves to one partuclaur sim card? I replaced the Iphone at the Apple store due to dropping it in some cofee.. would this of caused them to register my device to my sim in particular?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you are both on the T-mobile network, the sim card should work.  If you did a Erase All Content and Settings, then she should be at the point of activation as a new device...talk to T-mobile and be sure the sim she is using is a valid sim card.

  • Bbm will not work with a sim card

    My BBM will only work on WIFI without a sim card in the phone.. I have a Blackberry Classic. When i take my sim card out my BBM works great. The app store works as well it only seems to be BBM. any suggestions on what I can do to fix this

    Only if you buy an unlocked iPhone 5S which are ONLY available from Apple on-line or Apple Retail Stores in UK
    You would have no warranty outside UK and the LTE(4G) will not work in China
    3G should be OK

  • Does German iPad work with USA sim card?

    I have an iPad I bought in Germany. Now want to take to my parents in the USA and get them a USA sim card so they can use it. Will it work? Does anyone know? I heard Apple has made it so it will not work with an american sim card.

    Only the latest iPad Air 2 has Apple SIM and only in U.S & U.K. if you have a cellular model.

  • Do the FLip 8220 work with swedish sim card?

    I recentley bought a new unlocked (used to be T mobile) balckberry flip 8220. It wont recognice my swedish sim card. Must the sim card support edge? Cause my carrier do not have edge, just GPRS and 3G.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Is the 8220 device unlocked for other carriers (other than Tmobile)?
    To determine if your BlackBerry is "unlocked" for use on carriers other than for which it is branded:
    1. On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Advanced Options > Sim Card.
    2. At that screen type MEPD (see note below) on your keyboard. A new menu will pop up.
    * If your BlackBerry has a SureType keyboard (71xx and 81xx devices) you will need to double-tap the P, so the actual keys entered become M E P P D.
    3. Look for Network in the list.
    4. If your device is "unlocked", it should say Disabled or Inactive. If it says Active, it's still locked to that carrier.
