How do I tell if my iPhone 4S is unlocked?

Yesterday I spoke with my carrier, Sprint, and they said they were sending the verification to Apple that my iPhone 4S should be unlocked.  The man at Sprint said to wait 24 hours, then sync my iPhone 4S with iTunes and I'd be good to go.  I've now synced the iPhone 4S with iTunes but cannot tell whether the phone is actually unlocked or not.  How do I do this?  Thanks in advance.

I have just realised Sprint is CDMA ,you as you realise,  have Sprint
unlock the sim slot and you should then be able to use a GSM pay as you go sim
overseas
Did you follow the Sprint instructions to the letter ,you must and the only
way of really establishing the unlock is successful is to  put in  a GSM
micro sim from an approved Apple carrier

This will show approved Italian carriers
I am assuming you are still in US
I suspect you still have to follow the Apple Support document ,you will not lose anything
in process

    i think i just performed all that i was advised by apple... but now i would like to be able to tell that it's unlocked.

    i did.
    and Apple also wrote to me:
    "5. after restoring your iphone will be unlocked"

  • How can I tell if my iPhone 4s is unlocked?

    I am trying to get my phone unlocked from Verizon as I will be travelling oversees.  Verizon said they already put the request through to apple to unlock the phone.  However, when trying to utilize the other SIM card it will not work and I am told that the phone was not unlocked.  How can I tell if it is unlocked? and if not unlocked how do I get it unlocked?

    "Verizon has recently said they will only unlock internationally but there is no way to unlock for US calls with a domestic SIM"
    This is correct.  They do not unlock for use with domestic carriers.
    "  I was told that a "flashing" process would be the only way to allow domestic SIM card to work."
    Not sure where you heard this.  There is no legal or legit way to unlcok it for dowmestic use at all.
    You said you wanted it unliocked for overseas use in your original post.

  • How can I tell if my iPhone is now unlocked?

    Called AT&T for instructions. The Cust Svc rep took my info, did something on her end, and then told me to connect phone to iTunes, back it up then restore the phone. from the backup. Did that, but I see no indication that the phone is unlocked.

    If you do not receive a message from iTunes that your iPhone is
    now unlocked, something on AT&T's end did not work. Contact
    AT&T again for assistance.

  • How can i tell if my iphone 5 is unlock?

    Hello everyone,
    I rencently purchased an iphone 5 from a person selling it on craigslist.  the iphone is an At&t model and according to the person i bought it from the device is unlock.  Is there anyway of telling if this is true without inserting a sim card for a different carrier?  Are those websites where one enters the IMEI number a safe way to determine unlock status?

    Borrow one from a friend or go to the sales office/kiosk of a
    carrier other than AT&T to have them test it with one of their
    sims.
    Try restoring via iTunes. Do you get the 'Congratulations. Your
    iPhone is unlocked message'?
    Is there something about the transaction that makes you doubt
    the word of the seller? Did he offer any proof of his claim that
    the iPhone was unlocked?
    Does the iPhone have the black & white Cydia icon or a different
    one?

    I was told by my carrier they would unlock it for me and notify me by text. they did that and also asked me to sync the iphone on itunes. i did that but there doesnt seem to be any way of telling if it is in fact unlocked. i will be buying a new micro sim tomorrow so i guess i will know for sure then! will i have any problems going back to my home network in a couple of months time? cos i will be travelling constantly between ireland and australia...

    In iTunes you should have got the following screen, if it unlocked successfully:

  • How can I tell if my iPhone 5S is unlocked or not?

    I need answers lol......

    Did you buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple? If you did not buy the T-Mobile model from Apple, then you don't have an unlocked phone. Any phone once locked to a cellular provider can only be unlocked by that provider if they are willing and able to do so.

    How can I tell if my Iphone 3GS is unlocked.  I bought it used and it still has ATT info on screens but the seller said it was unlocked.  Is there a test or message somewhere?

    If it is a 3Gs from AT&T it is locked. It could have been "unofficially" unlocked (what iOS version is on it?) but if you upgrade it will relock to AT&T.
    AT&T will not unlock iPhones period. Contact the seller and get your money back.

    how can i tell if my iphone is ios 7

    I heard that there was some type of security breach for iphones that use ios 7 and that users may need to go and do some type of system update.  The security breach meant that people could actually access our email, texts, and even our bank account apps.  Has anyone else heard of this, and if so what is it that we have to do to ensure the security of our phones?
