How do I find out if my iphone is locked to a network or not?

I have an iphone 5 which is on 3network, I need to find out if it is locked to that network or not, I would like it to be opened up to any network as I am going abroad next month and would like to put a local SIM card in while I am away

Put a different carrier's SIM into it and see if it works.  Or you could even ask the carrier to which you think it might be locked.

  • How do I find out if my iPhone is locked to a network provider?

    I am about to travel overseas (USA)  for a period of time and looking to use my iPhone with a sim card from there to avoid high bills in relation to roaming and the like. I purchased my IPhone at an apple store, but not sure if it is locked to my provider, how do I work out if it is locked?

    Try a SIM from a different carrier.
    Frankly, if you bought the device in the US it is very likely locked to AT&T.  The only way to get an unlocked iPhone in the US is to buy directly from Apple and specify unlocked which would be at full retail price.

  • How can I find out if my iphone has been synced to another computer? (Backup/Sync Privacy)

    So it would seem easy for someone (lets just say a girlfriend for example) to plug my iPhone into her computer while I am staying the night and backup to iTunes.  I have my settings to "require a passcode immediately", however there was one day there was access to my passcode at her place while I was not there. So my question is three-fold:
    - How can I find out if my iphone has synced with another computer/iTunes (possible history in the iPhone)?
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    One reason I ask this is because earlier this year her phone was backed up to my iTunes on accident.  I did not know it was there until months later, but was able to access it with software.
    Thanks!

    You don't.  Nothing gets stored on the iPhone about what computers the device has been backed up to.
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    Yes, it's called a passcode lock.
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    No.  You might consider changing your Apple ID password to be on the safe side, though, as well as your security questions.

    How do I find out who my iPhone 4S is locked to? I can't get passed the activation screen.

    How can you not know this? Where did you get the phone?
    Ask whoever you bought it from or call AppleCare and give them the serial number.

  • I need to find out my balance or my iTunes account. How do I find out on my iPhone 4s?

    How do I find out on my iPhone 4s?
    I wanna buy a 10$ iTunes card but need to know if my negative balance is more or less than 10$

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can view your credit balance in a number of locations, for example, iTunes closed> music> new releases, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and your credit should appear under the Apple ID.

  • HT3965 how can I find out if my Iphone has been jailbroken, I think my ex did somthing to my phone to spy on me

    How can I find out if my Iphone has been jailbroken?!, I think my ex has installed spyware to spy on me, an I have red that the iphone has to be jb for spyware to work. Can anybody help me?

    NPR just ran a story today on how abusers use smartphones to stalk and control domestic abuse victims,
    Check out the story at National Public Radio: http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/09/15/346149979/smartphones-are- used-to-stalk-control-domestic-abuse-victims.
    Bottom line: trust your gut and if you think you are being stalked like this or if you think an ex knows too much, then you should turn off your phone and go somewhere safe until you can get some help. You could try the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 .
    I hope the snark I see in some earlier comments as unhelpful to the specific (and serious) question asked.
    Good luck, miss magik.

  • How do i find out if my Iphone 4 is 32gb or 16gb?

    My model number is a1332, emc380a

    Are you referring to the number printed on the SIM card? That's not the IMEI. The IMEI is specific to the device and you would find it the same way you would find out other info about the phone...by looking under Settings > General > About.
    The number printed on the SIM is the ICCID. It is basically the SIM card's serial number.

  • How can I find out if a phone is locked to iCloud

    I Only have the ime numberthat I got off of the back of the phone

    Do you have physical access to the phone? If not, there isn't any way to know. If you have access to the phone the following quote from iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7 gives instructions on what you should see and do:
    How do I check for Activation Lock before purchasing a used device?
    When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
    Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
    Turn the device on and slide to unlock.
    If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
    Begin the device setup process.
    After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to icloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
    You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.

  • How do you find out who has a row locked?

    If a session has a row locked using 'select ... for update', is there any way for another session to find out which session has that row locked? I've looked at the various dynamic views but none seem to have the right information.
    Thanks

    In the ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin directory there should be a script called utllockt.sql. You can run that as system
    and it will show you which sessions are locking other sessions. You can then take the session number returned by
    this script and query v$session or use Instance Manager to see the username or osuser of the offending session.

  • How do I find out if my iPhone 4 needs a new battery?

    The battery on my iPhone 4 has started losing battery strength much quicker than it had before. It is a refurbished one I got from an apple store when I had an issue with my first one ( not the battery) .  I havent had this refurb phone for more than 8 months.  Any ideas??

    Battery life never gets better, but how quickly is it depleting?
    If it doesn't last a day then it would be too inconvenient to tolerate. Only Apple can make the determination if it qualifies for replacement under AppleCare.

  • How do i find out if the iphone 4 was disabled?

    i am on guam, and i bought my iphone 4 used from a private seller and it was loced to AT&T. i have been using a gevey sim to use the phone but all of a sudden the phone does not pick up a signal, i have even tried replacing the antena and tried lots of other sim cards and gevey sims. i saw the newspaper saying smart phones that were stolen will be disabled, and wanted to know is this what happened to my iphone? please help.

    Other than checking with the local police department, there is no real way to check. Its possible to check with your carrier (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Vodaphone) and see what they say.
