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

How can I unlock my iphone to use out of the country.I have a iphone 5

Im traveling out of the country,and I need to unlock my iphone 5 to use there.How can I do that?

You don't need to unlock your iPhone if you want to use it abroad. There's roaming
If, however you want to insert a SIM card in another country, you should contact your provider. Every provider has it's specific rules for unlocking so I can't give you a general answer

Contact the carrier your phone is locked to to see if they offer official unlocking, & what the cost/procedure is. There is NO other way to get your phone officially unlocked, & Apple does not unlock iPhones.

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...
If that does not help... See Here:

HT4061 How can you unlock an iphone if you've forgotten the pin?

My partner upgraded his iphone4 to a 4s and since then he's forgotten the pin he used on his old phone. He's managed to block it completely by trying wrong passcode numerous times in succession. Does anyone know if this can be unblocked apart from visiting an Apple store?

You'll have to follow the directions here to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:

This will remove the passcode.

First you'd have to establish service with Verizon. Once a paying customer in good standing, you can then request the GSM portion be unlocked. Obviously, you can't do any of that stuff while you're out of the US. They will not unlock the CDMA side.

The normal process is to request the unlock with the carrier. They process it and pass it on to Apple to be applied to the Apple's iPhone database. The carrier would then inform you when Apple has provisioned the unlock, and you would restore your iPhone as a new device in iTunes to apply the unlock (you would get a message at the end of that restore as new in iTunes indicating the unlock was successfully applied). You could then restore your iPhone from backup to get everything back as it was.
However, for some carriers, you seem to beed to complete the iTunes restore from within the country where they provide service. Regardless, have you tried restoring as new in iTunes to see if it processes any provisioned unlock request? Just be sure to backup the iPhone first, before restoring as new.

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.

How can i unlock an iphone to be worked on all networks (in egypt)??

If the carrier tells you that they do not unlock iPhones, then there is nothing you can do other than sell the iPhone to someone who can use it with that carrier and purchase an iPhone that is officially unlocked.

See this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212, but if that doesn't help, the only other way to get past this is to restore the phone on the computer you normally sync with to your latest backup. This will remove the passcode.
