How do i find the original carrier for my iPhone 3gs

I received an iPhone 3gs as a gift but do not know the country it's coming from. How do I find the original carrier so I can activate and find out if they have an unlock policy.
Thanks

Probably only way is to call Applecare in your country and they may tell you who holds the lock. IIRC you IMEI and serial # are required

  • How do I reinstall the driver software for my iphone 3gs to my PC?

    Hi there,
    I accidentally deleted the driver software for my iPhone 3GS and don't know how to get it back.
    My computer is a Windows Vista and I can still sync to iTunes and sync music and photos etc. But I want to use internet tethering for an internet connection on my computer which I have done previously. One day I was mucking around with the tethering and I accidentally deleted my iPhone from the computer. I went to reinstall it and and it searched for the driver software which it could not find on my computer, after this it asked for a disc so it could search for the software on that. My phone never came with a disc originally and I didn't have this problem when I first got my iPhone and initially installed it. So I chose the option that I didn't have a disc, the next options are to browse manually or search for another option and both of those failed (I chose a manual locotion on the computer where I thought it might be which was: (C:)/Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support/Drivers, but this didn't work.) The computer still recognises my phone and all it just needs to install it.
    I would be pleased if I could get any sort of reply guys.

  • How to check the officail carrier for my Iphone 3GS?

    Recently i get a new Iphone 3GS from my friend, after update to 3.1.3 firmware it required original sim pack to activate the phone. How i can check my Iphone carrier?

    Where is your friend from? If you know what country your friend purchased the iPhone in you could at least narrow it down to a couple of places.

    You will need to contact your friend when you can talk to him/her next. Otherwise you are basically out of luck.

  • How can I find the previous position for my iPhone?

    It's more then 24 hours since I lost my iPhone, and it seems like it's turned off/don't have more battery left. Is there any possible way to find the previous position of it, when it's more then 24 hours ago?? Please help me, desperate to find my phone, and to know where it was last seen would help me alot.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unless your phone connects to a cellular or wifi network while still using your iCloud account, it won't show it's location in Find my phone.

  • How can i find the original picture in the correct event folder from an album folder picture?

    how can i find the original picture in the correct event folder from an album folder picture? I can find the link to the original event folder, but is there a way to get right to the picture without having to search visually the event folder?

    Depends on whatr you mean
    Deleting from your phone does not delete from anywhere else
    HOWEVER deleting from your Photo stream does delete from the Photostream so anyone looking at the PS from any device will no longer see the photo
    But if your Mac iPhoto is set to automatically impor tphotos form PS or is you have manually imported photos from PS then onc ethey are imported they are on your Mac and change to PS will not affect them
    for more on PS see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • How can we find the original XML Name of a Field

    Hi All,
    Just like the Reports To Field has XML Name as *[<ManagerFullName>]*
    Can anyone tell me how I can find the Original XML Name for the "Reports To (Alias)" User field?.
    Thanks in advance,
    Royston

    My scenario is that,
    When a user saves a new campaign I want to change the owner of this campaign to the user he reports to i.e(Manager Alias) Since the Owner field takes the Alias Name.
    To achieve this I have created a workflow to assign that Campaign to the Manager.
    Here is the Code snippet
    The triggering event is : Before modified record is saved.
    action is Update Field Owner with UserValue('<ManagerAlias>')
    Unfortunately its not accepting the ManagerAlias field....I have tried a similar scenario with the <ManagerFullName> field and its working fine.
    Thanks,
    -Royston

  • Why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song?

    why does Itunes say it can't find the original file for a particular song? and then asks if I want to locate it? I can't access a bunch of old song files. any new cds are available to me in itunes. all others are not accessible. how do i merge the new cd's with the old ones so that all the songs are playable in Itunes. thanks.

    Of course, I have backed up to CD and/or external drive.
    I'm wondering if you're attempting to maintain your library on your external HDD? If iTunes has been directed to use a location on your external hard drive as your iTunes Music Folder location (you can check this in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab) you MUST ensure that the hard drive is connected to the computer and mounted in the Finder prior to launching iTunes. If it isn't, it can cause this error to appear. This is probably one of the most common reasons this error begins to appear.
    It seemed my purchased songs were the first to DISAPPEAR and I had to rebuy.(Nice scam in the bug?)
    So... why not restore them from your backup? If, for some reason, this wasn't an option, you could have also recovered them from any iPod or iPhone they were currently synced to (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848), or, you can also email iTunes Store support and request a "regrant," which is a once-per-account exception they might be able to offer you and allow you to download missing purchases again.
    I am now convinced this a HUGE BUG in 7.7.1. and possibly the previous version or two.
    I'm not so sure... I've never run across this particular error (my library is stored on my internal hard drive, but copied to an external for backup purposes with an application other than iTunes or Finder. I don't think Apple will provide acknowledgment to issues experienced only by very small numbers of people... I'm one of those, perhaps foolish, individuals who allows my computer to download updates immediately, rather than waiting for fear of problems, and again, I've never had this error.

  • How do I find the FTP info for my site?

    I created a site with Wix.com. Since then I've been exploring Dreamweaver, and the author of "Dreamweaver for Dummies" suggets that the best way to make changes to my existing site is to use Dreamweaver's FTP capabailities to download the existing pages. But Wix doesn't support FTP -- so they tell me, and simpleurl.com (where I regeistered my domain name) and which is somehow involved in the posting of my site) can't help either. Here's the Dreamweaver page that I need to fill in.
    How do I get this information?

    Yup, it's basically free, altho you can upgrade a little, as I've done. 
    And I took
    a careful look at the "source" for the pages I've created. That code will 
    show
    nothing of what I've written -- text-wise. It's all stored on the Wix 
    servers
    and accessed with various scripts. You can re-locate your Wix-created site
    after 60 days -- not before. So the suggestion I got from the "...Dummies"
    book doesn't apply here.
    Nonetheless, I'm going to continue to learn how to use Dreamweaver. Maybe
    after my 60 days are up I'll wanna move it. Don't know.

    Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
    Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.
