How do I tell if my phone is 'locked' or 'unlocked' GSM?

How do I tell if my phone is 'locked' or 'unlocked' GSM? Thanks!!

All LTE phones (Android, iPhone, anuything) on VZW are GSM unlocked for the bands the phone supports. This is a restriction placed on Verizon due to the terms they sigend with the FCC for use of the 700 MHz spectrum for LTE.
An iPhone 5 will work fine on T-Mobile or AT&T's GSM networks with 3G. They are not compatible for LTE due to the hardware included in the phone.
If you want to tell, borrow a nano-SIM from someone with an AT&T or T-Mobile iPhone 5, place it in your phone, and watch as it works.

    Where did you purchase it, & from whom? The only reliable way to determinr the phone's locked/unlocked status, if you don't know, is to call AppleCare.

    After you got unlock approval from AT&T, you were supposed to backup and restore your iPhone in iTunes. Did you see "Congratulation, your iPhone has been unlocked" message after the restore.
    After Restore what does Settings > General > About, Carrier entry say.

    You should get a message on the phone that says the unlock was successful.
    Have you restored the phone as new?

  • HT1937 my phone was locked. I applied to at&t. they completed operations. I want to know if my phone is locked or unlocked

    my phone was locked. I applied to at&t. they completed operations. I want to know if my phone is locked or unlocked. my serial number 65112430A4s

    Did you follow the instructions AT&T provided for unlocking your iphone?
    You should not leave your serial number on a public forum.
    No one here would have any idea if your iphone is locked or not.

  • How can I tell if my phone is unlocked?

    Hi,
    I contacted AT&T to unlock my phone (which they did on their end). I then backedup and restored my phone per apple's instructions. How can I tell if it is unlocked? I misssed the screen saying the phone is now unlocked.  AT&T said to call apple and give them the IMEI number, but I can not seem to find a way to do this without paying money.
    I leave for a trip to the UK in a week and I want the option to use a local SIM over there. I would like to figure out if my phone is unlocked as I will not have access to a computer over there. THoughts?

    Try a SIM from any other carrier (borrow one from a friend).
    Contact Apple support and ask them.
    Restore the device again.

  • How can i tell if my phone was factory unlocked or...

    Hello ,
    Just a quickie i was wondering how to tel if my nokia e72 is factory unlocked or user unlocked
    Thankyou
    S.

    @milkmanhunter
    AFAIK there is no way that user can check unless this is done electronically to check status of each of the locks but I maybe wrong here. Screenshot from factory unlocked E72 although both Key Code Count and FBUS Count Code can be zeroed; Key Code Count would indicate if unlock code had been entered by user if not returned to zero:

  • How can I tell if my iPhone is locked to a network?

    Hi
    I bought a second hand iPhone 4 the other day, I was told its locked to O2, I've cut my old O2 sim card into a micro sim and it works fine on the phone. But the sim card I want to put in is an Orange pay monthly. I've contacted O2 and filled out an unlock form, I'm just wondering if it is actually locked to O2 because I really want to use it now instead of waiting 14 days, but if I cut my sim and find out it is locked to O2 then I have no phone until it is unlocked.
    Hope someone can help me find out if it is unlocked or not, thanks in advance
    Lucy.

    They will tell you when it is unlocked normally a text but complete the unlock you have to insert a 3rd party sim
    and you then get a congratulation message through iTunes onto iPhone confirming unlock.can take up to 14 days
    You may already be unlocked but need that non O2 micro sim to find out ( sometimes text doesn't arrive)

  • How can I tell if my water damaged 4S is unlocked?

    I'm trying to sell my iphone 4S that has water damage.  how can I tell if it is unlocked and no longer assoc with itunes account? people keep asking for IMEI and SN and tell me I can check this myself but when I call to find out they say I have to pay $19 to ensure repair or something and I don't want repair just to see how I can tell unlocked.  when he damaged it I didn't repair it just used an available upgrade to purchase new one  thanks for the help

    You can try calling Apple tech support and giving them the serial number. Sometimes they can tell you whether the iPhone is listed as factory-unlocked. Otherwise, other than by putting in a different SIM, there is no way you can tell.
    Regards.

  • How can you tell if a template is locked?

    Hello, how do you know if a template is locked?  Can the whole template be unlocked if so, and if so, how or where do you normally do this in the template?  What do you look for?
    Thanks

    I am hoping you have a little understanding of CSS, if not please give this tutorial a quick read over to understand the basics of CSS, it will make what I am about to say a little easier to digest.  http://w3schools.com/css/
    Now to fix this you will need to be in your style.css document.  You will see a block that looks like this:
    div.homecollft {
         width:240px;
    Now that is the block around each of your 3 columns.  To make this work you need to define a height here the same way the width is defined.  Then add the line: "overflow:auto;" .  By setting this you force the browser to put scroll bars there if the text gets too long.
    Also if you want to make more room so people don't have to scroll as much take a look at your header images.  The top buttons have a lot of whitespace around them and the be refreshed graphic could be downsized slightly while still having the same impact.
