How can i see if my iPhone is sim free or not?

hi there i m having a iphone 5s and i would like to know if it's sim free or not i bought it in UK

No. You can not tell  by the serial number or the model number. You can call Apple care and they may be able to tell you.
They are most likely a)stolen, b) hacked, c)carrier locked, or d) some combination of these.
What did you think you were going to get buying iPhones from "some guy". You're lucky that he didn't just knock you upside the head with a brick and take your money.

    2.apple id and i cloud id have to be same or not .i cant see my note in i cloud.
    3.how can i go to see my back up in i cloud?

    Give a little more time. The time between you initial post and your reply was only six minutes. It was ten minutes between your first reply and your second reply.
    You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself.
    The only way to see what is backup in iCloud is to restore you iPod from your iCloud backup
    For what is included in backups see:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    Your Apple ID and iCloud ID do not have to be the same. Notes are associated with your iCloud ID. You have to go to icloud.com and sign in to your iCloud ID to view your Notes.

    I just registered my digital copy of a movie on IOS. How can I watch this movie??? Lost

    you can import that file in itunes, verify it plays, then attempt to sync to ipad with itunes. I have had limited success, cause some of the versions will not transfer.

    How do I know if my iPhone 4 is sim free?

    Call AppleCare in your country and they may tell you whether the iPhone is listed as locked to a carrier ,and what is the reason for your question ?

  • How can i see if my iphone is factory unlocked?

    Hi,
    i've got an iPhone 3GS. Now i want to know if it is factory unlocked or not:
    Model number: MC132ZP/A
    Can somebody help me with this? On the internet i saw some lists, but i dont trust it. With an officiel provider in Holland they told me it is sold in Hong Kong, but with wich carrier they coldn't tell me. So then i dont know if it is locked or not. Or jailbreaked or not.
    Thanks,
    Robin

    There is no way to tell for sure other than updating software or restoring the phone. Any attempt to update software or restore a hacked phone will re-lock it to the carrier it was originally locked to.

  • How can I tell if my iPhone 5S is unlocked or not?

    I need answers lol......

    Did you buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple? If you did not buy the T-Mobile model from Apple, then you don't have an unlocked phone. Any phone once locked to a cellular provider can only be unlocked by that provider if they are willing and able to do so.

  • How can i move photos off iphone 4s and free up space?

    I have utilized dropbox and other storage options, but looking for a faster, easier method of removing photos from my phone and freeing up space.

    Import them onto your computer. If you've got a windows, you can plug your phone into your computer and using the autoplay feature, you can import the photos onto your computer. This will allow you to delete the photos from your phone, but still have them on your computer.

  • HT204053 How can I see past months calendar events

    How can I see past months calendar events

    In both iTunes, "Do not sync events older than xx days" is unchecked. 
    In other news, do you have any idea why all All-day events -- both one-time and repeating -- (e.g., holidays, anniversaries) disappeared when I migrated everything from an old MacBook with OSX 10.6 and iCal to a new MacBook Air with OSX 10.8 and Calendar?  This is on the computer synced to the iPhone with only two months of past events.  (To be clear, that MacBook Calendar has all past events on it going back about 10 years.  Just the All-day events were lost.)

  • How do i see my sms' on the sim card?

    hello,
    i just bought a nokia 7020 today. i've got some important sms on my sim card, however, the message box seems to be empty. i can see the messages on the sim when i check them with my previous phone. (samsung) how can i see my messages on my sim card and is there any way to copy them to the phone?
    thank you.

    Messaging -> Options -> SIM messages
    You will have to copy them to the phone memory in order to read them (the options will be to copy or to delete).
    Hope this helps

  • Are Apple stores (not online) selling the iphone 4 SIM free?

    hi,
    i read in several places that buying the iphone 4 from the apple online store will get u a SIM free version. i wanted to know if you go to the Apple store, can we still get the iphone 4 SIM free straight from the store. Or is getting the iphone from the online store the only way to get it sim free?
    Please provide any info you might have
    thanks

    Theoretically, yes, you should be able to walk into an Apple store and purchase a sim free iPhone.
    However, if you were thinking of doing this on 24th, then I would not bother, unless you have either pre-ordered or reserved for in store pick up. You probably will not get one on launch day, unless you are prepared to go and camp outside your local Apple store from perhaps midnight on Wednesday, or 3 or 4am on Thursday.
    I am sure there will be lots of disappointed people on launch day who come away without a phone. Unless you have reserved, then I would wait or go and order directly from the Apple UK store and you will get it delivered by July 14th then.

  • I have 2 icloud accounts how can i see them both on my macbook and iphone

    I have 2 icloud accounts how can I see them both on my macbook and iphone?

    iCloud doesn't have anything to do with texts or phone calls. Those are both tied to your phone number and SIM, not to an iCloud account.
