Hi I have a question, Actually, I had my cellphone with locked iphone 4 from At&t previous, and the contract is already done for two years,what I want to do is unlock my cellphone, how can I do it by myself?

Only AT&T can authorize you phone to be unlocked. You can contact them to see if you qualify. Eligibility requirements are shown here: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414532&cv=820&_requestid=708298#fb id=h0oX5NEasZY.

HT4528 How can you unlock a verizon iPhone 5?

Hello, I brought an iphone5 several weeks ago from a friend and I've heard that the iPhone 5 from verizon is already unlocked. I would like to connect it with T-mobile. Im thinking of updating the iphone to the new IOS 7 but will that interfere with it being unlocked? How do I know for sure it is unlock ? Also can I do the unlocking by myself through itunes or would I have to find some kind of software to unlock it? Oh, also is it true that when you switch to T-mobile you are not able to send or receive pictures messaging? Sorry for asking a lot of questions.

What you need to understand first is that the Verizon iPhone is a CDMA phone and does not require a sim card to work on the Verizon network. Yes the phone is unlocked, but only the GSM part of the phone is unlocked so that you can insert local sim cards when you travel.
Unfortunately, if you want to use this phone in the US, you WILL NOT be able to use it on T-Mobile, as being a Verizon phone it will only connect with the Verizon CDMA network. If you want to use the phone in the US, then you'll have to use it on the Verizon network.
If you want to use T-Mobile, then perhaps think about selling this phone and buying a new phone that is unlocked and a GSM phone so that you can use it with T-Mobile without problems.

HT201269 ive locked myself out of iphone how do i unlock?

ive locked myself out of iphone how do i unlock?

If your iPhone is unlocked for more than say a month or so then you need to take it into apple however if it is only a few hours you can connect it to iTunes and follow prompts. But that only works if you can remember your password. If you have any more questions just ask.

I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
may offer a solution.

How can I transfer photos from my iphone to my computer without emailing each one to myself

how can I transfer photos from my iphone to my computer without emailing each one to myself, and I thought they would be in icloud but I can't find them

Pics taken with the iphone are imported to your computer as with any other digital camera ( as explained in the manual).
Pics synced to your iphone from your computer should still be on the computer.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

HT5622 We have two iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself

My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!

You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

Keeping an unlocked 3GS and new iPhone 5 on same iTunes, what/how can apps be shared if not using iCloud?

I have researched having two phones on the same account and keeping apps/music/contacts/etc.separate, but have not yet found a thread specific to NOT keeping everything separate but the same across phones; should be pretty simple, but simple sometimes isn't. Thanks in advance for your input!
My husband and I are electing to keep our 3GS' (unlocked) so when we travel internationally we can pop a sim in from the country we are in, mainly for data. (In one country we can get 500MB for 10 Euros versus the $25/100MB my carrier will charge with the iPhone 5.) At least that is what we hope...
Couple questions:
1. Once the cell number/service on the 3GS is transfered to the 5, the 3S will become basically an iPod touch until a new sim is in place, correct? We can still use wi-fi and the apps on the phone, and still be able to sync to iTunes, correct? iOS has been upgraded to 6.
1a. With a new Sim, any issue with losing any data/apps on the phone? I dont' think so.
2. Once the 5 is activated on the new carrier, how do I share the apps within iTunes? Is it as easy as using iCloud (which we haven't "activated" yet) and/or plugging both phones into iTunes and transferring between devices (authorizing both)? Photos? There are photos on the 3S that we will need on the 5.
3. Reverse order for new apps purchased (understand that not all the iphone 5 apps will work on the 3GS)?
4. My husband also has a new iPad, any complications there with three devices? To date, he has not "shared" apps between his 3S and the iPad. He does not have iCloud set up, but plugs into his computer to backup and transfer photos.
Agian, thanks for your thoughts and any tips you can give me. Over the last three years with the 3GS, I have had to rebuild my phone twice and while most of the items were recovered, I am leery of throwing the 5 into the mix!

1. Once the cell number/service on the 3GS is transfered to the 5, the 3S will become basically an iPod touch until a new sim is in place, correct? We can still use wi-fi and the apps on the phone, and still be able to sync to iTunes, correct? iOS has been upgraded to 6.
1a. With a new Sim, any issue with losing any data/apps on the phone? I dont' think so.
1. Yes. without a sim it has no service, but all other features should be useable normally.
1.a Nope, Data and Apps are independent of the Sim.
2. Once the 5 is activated on the new carrier, how do I share the apps within iTunes? Is it as easy as using iCloud (which we haven't "activated" yet) and/or plugging both phones into iTunes and transferring between devices (authorizing both)? Photos? There are photos on the 3S that we will need on the 5.
2. As long as both Phones use the same Apple ID, the applications can be synced to each through iTunes. Also any downloads on one phone should appear in the other. Again as long as both phones are using the same Apple ID.
3. Reverse order for new apps purchased (understand that not all the iphone 5 apps will work on the 3GS)?
3. If they can be run on the iPhone3GS they should be synced automatically.
4. My husband also has a new iPad, any complications there with three devices? To date, he has not "shared" apps between his 3S and the iPad. He does not have iCloud set up, but plugs into his computer to backup and transfer photos.
4. If all 3 Devices share the same Apple ID all should be synced.
As a word of warning, if all 3 devices use the same Apple ID, messages recieved using iMessage will appear on all 3 devices.
And Conctacts may get overwritten if synced to iCloud (thogh you say he doesn't have one), or merged together.

Hi,
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...

How can I unlock my iPhone to use it in the UK?

I came to the UK for one semester study-abroad program, and when I first got here, I could unlock my Galaxy 3 just by suspending the device, I could use that device fine until the phone got completely broken. Then, I received a new iPhone that was bought in the US, but now I can't use my phone because it is apparently not unlocked. Could you please please help me with it? This has been so annoying and I've been unable to use my phone at all for a week. I cannot call verizon number because all my friends just bought prepaid sim card and cannot make an international calls and I cannot ask others for international calls that I don't even know how long they will take. Verizon also doesn't seem to have an email address, so I also asked my friend in the US to call verizon, and it still doesn't work. Can I call verizon through skype or something? Could you please help me unlocking the phone? I really need to use my phone right now. Thanks a lot in advance.

hayley0810,
I hope you are having a good time in the U.K. We definitely want to make sure we can get your device up an running. What version iPhone did you purchase?

Have you tried reaching out to your Global support team via the number 908-559-4899 or you can use the prepaid calling card here... http://vz.to/1thWKRd

I reported to Austin Police Department about my unlocked iphone was stolen last week. I'm ****** off that Serial number of my stolen iphone is on another Apple ID. IMEI still is not added into blacklist. How can I contact to Apple Inc??

I don't understand why Austin Police are not doing to detain theft when I showed an location with valid address according Find my iPhone on icloud.com. They said that it might be wrong location but few blocks were correct location. I stopped at Apple Retail Store to get another unlocked iphone. I explained an employee whether they would add both IMEI and serial number into blacklist to make useless for anyone. They said they have nothing to doing.
I'm shocked today that IMEI number is still not added into blacklist. Serialnumber of my stolen iphone is already on another Apple ID, after restoring it.
They let me down because unlocked iphone is EXPENSIVE, it costs $800 in Canada.
How can I deal with Apple Inc to add both serial number and IMEI into blacklist UNTIL i get my stolen iphone back

What blacklist? There is no universal blacklist in the US. They're working on it, but it does not exist as of this writing.
Apple can't do anything about it. They are not a law enforcement agency.

How can i change my iphone mode from t-mobile contract free to unlocked?

i actually was cheated from the online assistant!
I always want an unlocked iphone 5s.Last time i was consulting the online agent, he or she recommanded me to choose t-mobile contract free mode.He said as long as its a nano sim card. it will work with any service
then i took it as he suggested. today when i was asking an online agent again that if there is any kind of iphone5s works with foreign sim card. after a while, i got that the t-mobile contract free modes only work with t-mobile service within US but you can use foreign sim card when you are abroad.
Is that a kind of cheating to make me just purchase it in the first place?
I am really disappointed with the apple agents wether they are not honest or not professional. I think i am going to be extremely careful next time even with those seemingly official enough company
Now does anyone know how i can change the funny t-mobile contract free mode to unlocked??
Thanks much!

Well the thing is Tmobile has to be the UNLOCKED version then. I have tmobile and I bought an Iphone 5s from Apple TMOBILE. Payed the 600$ and popped in my existing sim. I had no dealings with tmobile for my phone and have no contract. I should be able to go to ATT sign up and pop it in to work. So the Tmobile version is the "unlocked" version right now and a sim is included for convience.
If you notice the bottom of the phones it says it will only work with the carrier you choose. Which is a clever way to word it. Which leads me to believe its unlocked. I payed full price so they cant "lock" it.

HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

How can I unlock an iPhone 4 without iTunes account information?

My daughter's iPhone 4 is registered on my Verizon account and I am the account manager. When she got it she set it up through her own iTunes account. I have taken her phone from her as punishment and want to access the information on the phone without her knowing. I entered the wrong unlock code too many times and it is now disabled and there is a message on the front that it must be connected to the iTunes account. How can I reset/unlock the phone while preserving the information that is currently on it? I hunted and pecked through the Verizon site and can't find anything. I thought since I am the account manager I could easily unlock it - - apparently not.

Hi madisonsb,
Just so you know, once the code has been put in incorrectly many times, to prevent unauthorized access, the phone will lock itself up and can only be restored by erasing the information and setting the phone back up. If there is a back up on iTunes it will restore everything back to the phone, but keep in mind this will also restore the old lock code used as well. So it's either erase everything and set it up as new, or erase everything and restore with the old lock code.
Being an account manager gives you access to the Verizon Wireless account to make plan changes or upgrade phones, not gain access into information on a device. The information on a device is always considered private and we wouldn't even have access to it in any way, shape, or form.

How can I get my old iPhone 5 (Verizon) unlocked for use with another carrier?

I have an iPhone 5 that was purchased with a Verizon Wireless account. It is more than two years old and I have since upgraded it to a newer iPhone. I want to give this phone to a friend in Germany. His service will provide a new sim, if the phone is unlocked. How can I get it unlocked so that it is no longer limited only to Verizon Wireless?

Good afternoon Weth! That is completely correct. All 4G phones are already unlocked for global use. If you contact your international carrier and insert their sim card, it will be ready to activate on the international network. If you have any questions regarding the compatibility of the international network, please reach out to them directly. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thanks so much and safe travels to you!
