How can I get my locked iPhone to work in the US

Hi,
I spoke with a genius at the montreal Apple Store, I asked about unlocks as I am moving to the states for work in the coming month. He mentioned that while carriers generally have to dot he unlocks they have unlocked international phones. My question is has anyone tried to dot his from Canada to the US. Also If you are still under warrenty and get a refurbished one in the US, at what point does it lock to your existing carrier. I was always confused as to how this works.Im sure there a lot of people who are wondering the same thing.
Thank you

Unlock can be done only by original Carrier. You should get
this straightened out before leaving Canada. Warranty on your
iPhone is not international - if you need any repair or replacement,
you will have to return iPhone to Canada for this to be done.

  • How can I get my Firefox persona to work with the new version of Firefox?

    Everything was working fine, then my computer automatically updated Firefox and my persona background disappeared. It's listed as enabled on the add-ons backgrounds under add-ons manager. I have Foxkeh tail wag. I went and reinstalled it but it still doesn't come on. I went to the firefox personas page and tried to install a different persona. NONE of them work now. How can I get my persona background back?

    Fixed! Thank you!

    How can I get into my iPhone without activating it through itunes id

    If the iPhone has Find My iPhone activation lock enabled then you will not be able to activate the iPhone without entering the correct Apple ID and password it is locked to. Sorry but there is no way to bypass this.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • How Can I Get A Prepaid iPhone?

    I'm moving from somewhere that doesn't have the iPhone, to somewhere that does, and I want to get an iPhone for a couple months while I'm there. I want to get the prepaid plan so I can just cancel and stop using it when I move back.
    How can I get a prepaid iPhone these days? I hear the 111-11-1111 SSN trick stopped working.

    Yeah if you get low on funds in the account, you can always add more like $10 or $15 to get you through to the next month. Any unused minutes carry over to the next month. I think it starts warning you when you get down to $5 and you have to hear it prompt you to add cash before each call goes through then.

    How can I get my stolen IPhone 4 serial Nom.?

    Another option is if you synced the iPhone with iTunes on the computer. If you did that, go into iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices, and locate your last backup. If you hover the mouse over that backup, it will display the serial number, phone number, IMEI, and UIUD.

    As already provided, if you don't have such in your iTunes library, on your computer, then there is no way to put it back on your phone. Apps are DRM protected, so even if you found a copy somewhere, you wouldn't be able to use it.
