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.

    How can I tell if my 6Plus is unlocked?  Purchased directly from Apple.  Carrier is Verizon.  TY!

    The GSM side of that phone is unlocked. Borrow a nanoSIM from someone who uses T-Mobile or AT&T and you can prove it to yourself.

    How can i tell if my iphone is unlocked ?

    Put a SIM from a different carrier in it. Or call Apple, give them the serial number, and ask.
    There are web sites that claim to be able to tell you if a phone is unlocked by entering the IMEI. They lie; there is no way to know from the IMEI unless you are Apple. Don't use them.

  • HT201328 How can we test that our phone is unlocked after we restore our iPhone?

    How can we test that our phone is unlocked after we restore our iPhone? I don't have access to another sim card at the moment. Only my AT&T sim card.

    A sure way to check is to connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and click Restore iPhone (not Restore Backup). If the phone is unlocked near the end of the Restore iTunes will display "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked."

    Nothing we can do to help you.  If it was bought in the UK from an Apple store as unlocked, it is unlocked.  If it was bought anywhere else, it will be locked, and only the carrier it is locked to will be able to unlock it.
    If you've tried a local SIM and it has not worked, then you have your answer, it is locked.

  • How can i tell if my iphone is unlocked?

    How can I tell if my Iphone 3GS is unlocked.  I bought it used and it still has ATT info on screens but the seller said it was unlocked.  Is there a test or message somewhere?

    If it is a 3Gs from AT&T it is locked. It could have been "unofficially" unlocked (what iOS version is on it?) but if you upgrade it will relock to AT&T.
    AT&T will not unlock iPhones period. Contact the seller and get your money back.

  • How can i buy an i-phone 3GS (unlocked version) from US.

    My query is how can i buy an iphone 3gs from US without taking any contract and use it in India. Can i buy an Iphone 3gs (factory unlocked version) and use it in India by taking the mobile service provider of my own country. I also want to know the price of the iphone 3gs (unlocked version)in US. Can it be shipped to me.

    You don't need to come to the US to purchase a US iPhone. There are already thousands(estimate based on the daily posts we get here), most likely unused sitting in drawers in India right now. Just run an ad in your local paper...you most likely could purchase one or more cheap. They don't work and are all locked to AT&T, but that shouldn't matter...you'll have your US iPhone, no need to travel anywhere. Once you get it, and it doesn't work, don't bother posting here, we can't help you! .

  • 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.

    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:

  • Re: How can I tell if my phone line is connected t...

    Hi, I am also struggling to pin down whether we are on an EOL. The village is being upgraded via Connecting Cheshire, either end is going live imminently as are the surrounding villages in the area on our exchange, yet a strip right through the middle of the village encompassing four out of five local schools, all the major businesses and the majority of the residential premises won't be for some time. If there were no houses in the way I could probably read the signs on the outside of the exchange building here, but of course the cable route may go a different way. Please can I have some help to determine if our line is EOL? I have tried the various online tools with no luck (still clear as mud) and the 'about me' section of the mod's profiles appears to have the link I need disabled (do I need to be invited to use it in order to see it?)
    Thank you very much.
    Kind Regards,
    Tim

    If you use this checker it will tell what cabinet you are on and what services it can receive. If you do not have a cabinet number showing it will mean you are on an E/O line.

  • How can I tell if my phone was hacked?

    My phone was ringing and it showed that "Sophia" was calling. I don't know anyone by that name and was going to decline. The "decline" option was grayed out. I figured I'd let voicemail pick it up, but it never did. I eventually lost patience and answered. Someone was already talking on the other end in a foreign language. I immediately powered down my iphone.  Is there some way I can find out if it's been  hacked and clean it out without reseting everything?
    Thanks!

    Call your carrier and ask them to check the IMEI and ICCID numbers to make sure nobody's cloned your phone.  If it only happened the one time it might simply be a fluke.
