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. -
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. -

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...

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? Is the device currently activate on a VZW account? 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 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 $800 in Canada.
How can I deal with Apple Inc to add both serial number and IMEI into blacklist UNTIL i get my stolen iphone backWhat blacklist? There is no universal blacklist in the US. They're working on it, but it does not exist as of this writing.
Apple can't do anything about it. They are not a law enforcement agency. -
How can i change my iphone mode from t-mobile contract free to unlocked?
i actually was cheated from the online assistant!
I always want an unlocked iphone 5s.Last time i was consulting the online agent, he or she recommanded me to choose t-mobile contract free mode.He said as long as its a nano sim card. it will work with any service
then i took it as he suggested. today when i was asking an online agent again that if there is any kind of iphone5s works with foreign sim card. after a while, i got that the t-mobile contract free modes only work with t-mobile service within US but you can use foreign sim card when you are abroad.
Is that a kind of cheating to make me just purchase it in the first place?
I am really disappointed with the apple agents wether they are not honest or not professional. I think i am going to be extremely careful next time even with those seemingly official enough company
Now does anyone know how i can change the funny t-mobile contract free mode to unlocked??
Thanks much!Well the thing is Tmobile has to be the UNLOCKED version then. I have tmobile and I bought an Iphone 5s from Apple TMOBILE. Payed the 600$ 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. -
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!

How can i unlock my iphone 4 from apple
I'm staying in Bangladesh..... I've bought an iphone from a store near pann Station of NY.....I've asked them before buy whether it was unlock or nt...and they said it is unlocked.....After return to my country ...when i entered local sim ..seen it is locked. From the very beginning it's carrier is AT&T which i don't know and basically i didn't handle iphone before.Than i've tried to jail break through several types/times but it won't work..and current situation of my phone is always DFU mode or Showing apple logo....As such i wanted to get a temporary or permanent solution....how it will work...? does apple provide any paid service,,? Pls help me if any body knows abt it.............
As was mentioned, your only option is to sell it on ebay or return the phone. However, seeing that you have attempted to jailbreak, and something went wrong, which also voids the warranty, so it is likely that your phone can't be returned.
However, you can still sell it on ebay and get your money back. You may want to mention that the phone is not working. Some people buy them for parts. -
How can i unlock my iphone from a Japanese carrier???
I have bought an iphone 5s from Japan and it worked fine until i went to my service provider to check why my 3G wasnt working. My service provider then told me that my sim card wasnt being read by the phone anymore after she reset my network settings. My phone is apparently locked to NTT Docomo and Vodafone told me to email them, but all i get when i email them is an automated msg giving me a referance number which is practically useless because they never followed through and its been 2 weeks now. Even this morning i emailed them with the referance number they gave me and all i get is the same email they had sent me in the very beginning saying..
Thank you for your interest in NTT DOCOMO.
We will do our best to respond to all reasonable inquiries in a timely manner.
However, please note that some inquiries may take longer to address depending on their nature.
Please also note that auto reply does not guarantee that your inquiry will be addressed.
and then underneath my referance number again.
I have already spent a lot on this phone and all these sites offering to unlock my phone for a price which is not guranteed makes me wonder if its safe or not.
The wierd thing is that i had bought 2 others mobiles for my dad and cousin when i bought mine and they are both working fine!I have tried ...i used the correct area code and all. Its saying the number is not available at the moment ...even the japanese speaking only number i tried and i got these numbers from their site. I dont know how else i can contact them!

How can i unlock my iphone from the us
how can i unlock my iphone from the us?? please help
If you are referring to a lock to a specific cell carrier, so you can use the iPhone with a different carrier, only the cell carrier to whom the phone is locked can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact the carrier.

I have forgot my Iphone passcode. Itunes will not let me restore it, i do not have icloude,or find my iphone,and the closest itunes store is 4 hours away how can i unlock, or reset my phone?
Try this:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
* If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -
