how can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, so you will need to contact the carrier. Note that if the iPhone is locked to AT&T, they will not unlock an iPhone at any time for any reason.

    How can i get my iphone 4s unlocked to any carrier?

    You must contact the carrier it is currently locked to and get them to unlock the iPhone.  Apple will not do this as it is part of the subsidized contract with the carriers.

  • How can i get my iphone 4 unlocked to all networks

    i was wondering if there is any other way of getting my iphone unlocked to all networks as orange arnt helping?

    KT is correct! w/o the carriers co-operation with this, only savage hacking can get you free 
    That will open you up to bugs you don't want. These so called service providers to unlock phones are dangerous and many are just money pits for those who participate We will just have to wait for legilation or agreements from our device manufacturers and the carrier networks. (There are a fistful of carriers that do unlock i.e. Att&t)

    How can I get my iPhone 4S unlocked - it's currently locked on the 3 network and they won't unlock it unless I have an account with them.

    Only 3 can authorize unlocking it. If you don't meet their conditions, then you're out of luck.

    If that's not yours expect the other to come up first.
    Note even a 4G or LTE could be faster then a WiFi.
      if so it will default to that.
    Yes, thanks. Seems logical.
    But you know the annoying thing is... The really annoying thing, is that my network runs on a £250.00 Apple Time Capsule, but my neighbours runs on the free router he got with his broadband package...

    Contact that carrier and ask if they offer this service and if you qualify

  • How can I get my iPhone 3GS to recognize my AT&T SIM card after upgrade to iOS 5.1?

    I upgraded my previously-unlocked iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 today, from iOS 4. I hadn't upgraded the OS in awhile (since the phone was unlocked before a trip overseas).
    iTunes says: "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone." I tried taking out and reinserting the SIM card, but that didn't help. It seems that I cannot restore to factory settings now, since iTunes doesn't think my phone has a SIM card and so won't connect to my phone at all.
    I realize now that I should have restored to factory settings before upgrading, but given that I did not, how can I fix this retroactively?
    Help?!
    Thanks!

    I did.
    I've connected to the M-Cell for a few minutes once. It dropped the one call I tried to make, and my phone hasn't reconnectted since. My roommate has the same phone. We have the same thing happening.

  • TS2529 how can i get my iphone 3gs out of recovery mode

    I tried to sync & update my iphone 3gs with itunes and after the update itunes gave message 'iphone in recovery mode, click here to restore'.  I dont want to restore back to new condition.  My phone is useless, please tell me how to get it out of recovery mode without having to restore.  Thanks for any help!

    You CANNOT get your phone out of recovery mode without restoring.  Either restore your phone, or sit there with a broken, useless phone. 
    Your choice.

  • How can I get my iPhone 3Gs to power up?

    I shut my 3Gs phone off overnight and then turned it on,set it in the Belkin holder in my car, and fiddled with the radio to set up a station for play. The phone went dead. I tried to get it going again. I held the start button down and no luck. I kept the phone in the holder for a 20 minute trip and tried to get it to start again. No luck. I plugged it into my computer and there was no recognition. I searched the web and held the power button down with the home button - still no luck.Currently it is being charged at an AC outlet, but there is no life on the screen - no low battery - nothing - dead. Any suggestions? I've had thiis phone for just over a year and it is my life line. I use it mostly for listening to podcasts and use the apps regularly. I regulary charge it when the battery is low. I love this phone and I am never without it due to health problems. I keep it updated. Is there anything I can do? Thank you.

  • How can i fix my iphone 3gs when i have network issues after updating to IOS 6.1.3 and avoid the connect to ITunes screen?

    Im an owner of an Iphone 3gs.
    When I updated my software to IOS 6.1.3 I started having network issues such as my phone would go on searching, it would search for signal and then No service after few minutes it would restart and when its on again it would show me Connect To Itunes screen, I tried connecting but nothing happens and if I just leave it as it is it will just keep on restarting and showing the same screen sometimes I might get lucky and the phone will start working again but No Service and if I turn on my 3G for the times Im outdoors it will just restart again so 3G is also another problem I have got. Today I decided to take it to an Apple Store, the guy restored it and now what happens is that it switches on and is showing me the connect to Itunes message but with black backround and i cant do anything it keeps on restarting and showing the same thing. Please if there is anyone that would like to spend some time with me to help me out, he would be more than Welcome.

    Then you will need to sell your phone and then purchase one from the carrier you want.
    Only the carrier that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it, if Cricket won't do it, then there is nothing you can do to get the phone unlocked.

  • How can i get my iphone, from the disable mode

    how can i get my iphone 3gs, out of the disable mode?

    If your phone is disabled because you forgot your passcode, restore the phone on the last computer it was synced with. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

    I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

    In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
    I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.
