How can i tell if my phone is factory unlocked

i have a 3gs. i'm trying to figure out if it's factory unlocked

Put in a Working Active SIM Card from a non-original phone carrier of this iPhone, if it makes cell calls then it is unlocked. If you want to challenge the unlock, then Restore the iPhone Firmware with iTunes on computer. If factory unlocked then my first sentence here will be correct. If not factory unlocked you will not even be able to activate unless you have Original Carrier SIM.

How can i tell if my phone was factory unlocked or...

Hello ,
Just a quickie i was wondering how to tel if my nokia e72 is factory unlocked or user unlocked
Thankyou

@milkmanhunter
AFAIK there is no way that user can check unless this is done electronically to check status of each of the locks but I maybe wrong here. Screenshot from factory unlocked E72 although both Key Code Count and FBUS Count Code can be zeroed; Key Code Count would indicate if unlock code had been entered by user if not returned to zero:

After following unlock instructions, how can I tell if my phone is actually unlocked (AT

I received instructions from AT&T approving my unlock request and then instructing me to backup my phone and then restore it in ITUNES, at which point the phone would be unlocked. Is there some way I can tell this was actually successful ? I completed the procedure but don't see any obvious changes in the various information screens on the phone.

There is usually a delay of a couple of days between your receiving the acknowledgement from the carrier and Apple updating their activation database. I've had similar experiences with 3 other iPhones.

I want to buy a phone and they told me it is a ATT & Apple unlock, how would i verify thatis is really unlock by them not just by any software unlock..

ONLY the carrier a phone is locked to can legitimately unlock it. The best way is to buy an unlocked phone from a legitimate source. 90%+ of second hand "unlocked" iPhones are hacked, not legitimately unlocked.

How can I tell if my phone is unlocked?

Hi,
I contacted AT&T to unlock my phone (which they did on their end). I then backedup and restored my phone per apple's instructions. How can I tell if it is unlocked? I misssed the screen saying the phone is now unlocked. AT&T said to call apple and give them the IMEI number, but I can not seem to find a way to do this without paying money.
I leave for a trip to the UK in a week and I want the option to use a local SIM over there. I would like to figure out if my phone is unlocked as I will not have access to a computer over there. THoughts?

Try a SIM from any other carrier (borrow one from a friend).
Contact Apple support and ask them.
Restore the device again.

I am trying to get my phone unlocked from Verizon as I will be travelling oversees. Verizon said they already put the request through to apple to unlock the phone. However, when trying to utilize the other SIM card it will not work and I am told that the phone was not unlocked. How can I tell if it is unlocked? and if not unlocked how do I get it unlocked?

"Verizon has recently said they will only unlock internationally but there is no way to unlock for US calls with a domestic SIM"
This is correct. They do not unlock for use with domestic carriers.
" I was told that a "flashing" process would be the only way to allow domestic SIM card to work."
Not sure where you heard this. There is no legal or legit way to unlcok it for dowmestic use at all.
You said you wanted it unliocked for overseas use in your original post.

How can you tell your iPhone 5s has been unlocked?

Is there anyway to tell from the Settings menu on the iPhone or from a menu in iTunes that the phone has been unlocked. My wireless carrier has allowed me to unlock my phone because I will be spending an extended period of time in another country. Leaving in a few weeks. They have sent some kind of notification and bit of software to the Apple server. According to the instructions, this unlock instruction will be loaded on my phone next time I sync on iTunes. But I won't be able to tell if the unlocking has been successful until I arrive in this other country and put another SIM card in the phone. So my question: is there a menu on the iPhone or in iTunes that provides any indication that the phone has been successfully unlocked?

This is how the process works ,needs following to the letter
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5014?viewlocale=en_US
and no there is no indication in settings since locking is a Carrier issue
