How can I get my phone unlocked if I am after emigrating and haven't topped up my phone in a year?
Hi I moved to New Zealand and brought my Meteor Nokia Lumia phone over with me. I couldn't get it to work here and bought a cheap phone to get me by. I loved my Nokia Lumia though and am trying to get it unlocked. My sister recently came over on holidays and wasn't able to use hers either but rang home and got it unlocked. I have tried to get it unlocked it but is it very expensive and you might as well get a new phone. I have rang home but Meteor told me they can't as I haven't topped up the phone in over a year. Does anybody have any advice without it costing a bomb. All of our savings are gone emigrating and just hope someone would know how we can do this or Meteor might have pity on us? Thank you Lorraine
Meteor are a commercial company and don't do pity.I had a similar issue in New Zealand working there for 6 months where despite my phone being an Irish one and unlocked, It was still regionally locked by Huawei (European) and couldn't be unlocked to Vodafone NZ. NZ is full of Asians plus Asian phone stores, you might try them to see if they can unlock it... The cheapest option for me was to buy a local PAYG phone.

<Perosnal information removed by Host>As stated, only the original Cellular provider can unlock the phone. If they charge $250 for doing so, that is their decision. It is YOUR decision to pay that fee or not.

i have purchase iphone4 from gray market,it is not factory unlock,how can i get it factory unlock,
its safari not working and it is not showing drive in my computer.iPhones are sold in carrier-locked and unlocked versions. If the phone has a carrier lock on it, you must contact the carrier to have it removed (you probably need to bring the phone to the carrier for the process). If you don't know the carrier, you won't be able to get it unlocked. US carriers will not remove the carrier lock and it cannot be removed.
How is Safari behaving that makes you say that Safari is not working? The lock status of the phone won't affect Safari, except that if the phone is locked and you aren't using the carrier (and SIM provided by the carrier) to which it is locked, then you can't use the phone or 3G service, only Wi-Fi.
The iPhone should not appear as a drive on your computer, so there's no error there. -
Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????
It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this. -

How can I get a legally unlocked iPhone 3G in US? Where, How, And what is the total price. Thanks!
As has been stated, you cannot purchase an unlocked iPhone in the US. This kbase article indicates whether iPhones sold in particular countries are carrier-locked (in some cases, you can contact the carrier for unlocking).

Call your service provider, they'll ask about the contract and IMEI, they'll then charge you since you want to terminate the contract.
In less that 14 business days, it will be unlocked. -
How can I get my iphone6 unlocked?
How can I get my iphone unlocked? I purchased it via Verizon edge.
arps49,
The great news about our 4G LTE devices is that they are already unlocked. You can use a SIM card from another carrier but we won't be able to guarantee that the device will work the same way as they do when you are connected to the VZW network.

In mail, my attachments, both photos and documents, appear in the body of the message. How can I get my attachments to appear as a separate attachment and not as part of the main message???? Thanks for your help, Karen.

Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
I completely agree. -
I have an iPad 2 and recently purchased an iPad mini. My husband will take over the iPad2. How can he get an icloud account for this iPad (eliminating me) and his iPhone5?
Delete your iCloud account on the iPad 2, then he can follow the instructions to create his own iCloud account on it:

Then he can setup his own account on his iPhone. -
