How can I unlock my old 3GS so my wife can use it with her sim card

Check this article to find out if unlocking is supported by your carrier: Locating iPhone wireless carriers
If supported, contact the carrier and he will pass this info to Apple/iTunes, and your phone can be used with another SIM.

You just have to call VZW Global TS and as long as you meet all of the requirments you will be able to unlock your phone.
Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
The device being unlocked must be active on a VZW line of service.
The line of service must be active for at least 60 days.
For converted accounts from acquisitions or mergers (i.e. Alltel, Unicel/RCC, etc.), the line of service must be active in the VZW billing system for 60 days from the conversion date.
The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days. Good Standing is defined as:
Balance must be current
No service suspensions or hotlines in the past 60 days.

My iPhone 3gs was locked to virgin but it was unlocked before i bought it and i now use a t-mobile sim card. If I update my phone to ios 5.1 will it lock my phone so I can no longer use it? I'm scared to update!! Please help

I updated my sisters phone yesterday to ios 5.1 but after I did this it wouldn't recognise her sim card and the phone isn't unlocked or jailbroken. My phone is unlocked but not jailbroken and I have done all the updates before without a problem. Does this mean that if I update to ios 5.1 it wont lock my phone and will continue to work as normal?

That depends on where it came from and how it was "unlocked". Virgin is a supported carrier in France and in Canada.
If you are in France, then it could have been legitimately unlocked. Virgin France offers unlocking.
If you are in Canada, then it was definitely hacked to unlock it as they do not offer unlocking there. If it is a Canadian phone, you can't be supported here at all. Discussing hacked and jailbroken phones is forbidden by the terms of service.

Hello my sister game me her iphone 4S and when i tried to use it with my sim card it doesn't work and it says searching... and No service! How can i fix this? thank you

hello i have a problem. my iphone 4s which my sister gave as a present i put my card in and i cannot get sign ,its vodafone card. It say searching...No service! I can only use it for the internet. How can i fix it? Thank you

Sounds like the iPhone is locked to another wireless provider.
Have your sister contact her wireless provider to see if they
offer unlocking and if she qualifies.
Have you tried to activate the iPhone to your iTunes account?
What happened? If there is an error message, what is the exact
wording?

MY Cousin reported my tmobile iPhone 6 stolen because of personal issue what can i do I really need my phone

There is nothing you can do, unless you can prove that you are the owner of the phone. Who was it reported to. The police? The carrier? They are the ones you have to deal with. Apple does not accept stolen phone reports. Here are Apple's instructions if a phone is actually stolen: Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

How do I unlock an old iphone which isn't now associated to my account?

I have given my old iphone to my niece and it needs to be unlocked so she can put another providers sim in it.

It costs £8.99 to unlock a device from EE there are a number of options that you might be able to use to get your device unlocked.
But first this.
Only contract devices have to be used for 6 months first before requesting a unlock. PAYG, Sim only or secondhand devices this rule doesn't apply.
1, If you still with EE/Orange/T-Mobile just fill out the unlocking request form with your details. Any phone that was replaced by insurance you will need to let EE know that it was a replacement device if your still in contract. You can also unlock an old device if you have a upgrade device on your account just fill out the request form with your details and the phone number you used with this device. It doesn't matter if you use this number on a new device now.
2, If you already have an account with EE and you have brought/been given a 2nd hand device lock to EE and you would like it unlocked you just need to use your Sim card in the device so the IMEI number gets registered to your account. Once your account has the IMEI number on it you can the fill out the online unlock request form.
3, If you have brought/been given a 2nd hand device and don't have a EE/Orange/T-Mobile account and you don't want to use the EE networks you need to get a PAYG SIM card and set up an account. Top-up the account to £8.99 to pay the unlock fee than fill out the online unlock request form.
(If using a PAYG you must make sure that the £8.99 is on your account when EE take the payment if it's not your device will not get unlocked and EE will not inform you that the unlock request has failed. It's you job to make sure the cedit is there when EE go to take it they will not inform you when there going to take it)
Or
4, A non EE customer can take the device to your local EE store and request the unlock from there it will still cost £8.99 and it still takes 7 to 10 days
5, If you would like a device unlocked and you are no longer with EE/Orange/T-Mobile just fill out the online unlock request form using the number that you used with that device on EE/Orange/T-Mobile. EE will unlock devices that are up to 10 years old that were used on their network. You will still be billed to unlock the device.
6, If you have brought or thinking about buying a 2nd hand device and you are not in the UK you are going to find it very hard to get a device unlocked when you setup an account you need a UK address also you will need to get a PAYG SIM card but you will also need to find away of topping up the account with GBP, if you can not do any of this the device will not get unlocked there are no exceptions.

CAN I CHANGE AN OLD 3GS IPHONE TO A NEW ONE?

Can I change an old 3GS Iphone to a new one in the apple store in Germany?

If you sell your 3GS prior to visiting the store, you can use the money gained against the cost of a new iPhone.
Apple won't just change it for you, just like any other shop won't just change any old product for a new one.
