How do i unlock iPhone4 to take different sim provider
how do i unlock iphone4 to take different sim provider
The process is contact your network supplier .
Ask IF they offer unlocking.
IF yes request the unlock and pay any fees requested.
Your network supplier then contacts Apple to request the White listing (Unlocking) of your phone on the iTunes servers.
Apple do this -It takes anything from 3 days to several weeks to complete.
On completion Apple confirms this back to your Network supplier (NOT YOU)
Your network supplier contacts you via email or SMS inviting you to connect your iPhone with your computer via the supplied USB cable and launch iTunes and follow on screen prompts through to the "Congratulations your iPhone is now unlocked" screen.
All these steps need to be carried out with the ORIGINAL SIM and by REGISTERED account holder used when setting up the phone.
Once the Congats...... screen has been reached you can swap out the REGISTERED SIM and replace with a compatible SIM on another network.
CAVEATS
Only the original SIM and Account holder can initiate an unlock- If you bought the phone used/second hand you CAN NOT UNLOCK through official routes
Once unlocked use of a Mobile Virtual Network SIM (For an unsupported carrier) may result in difficulties sending SMS messages.
You may have to go into Setting /Network/Cellular/Cellular Data Network and enter the correct settings manually.
Further caveat Cellular Data Network menu is SIM card dependant if its not supported you CAN NOT change the settings manually then you may need to contact the SIM card company - They can send a setup SMS if they support this process.

How to factory unlock iphone4 bought from australia ?
how to factory unlock iphone4 bought from australia ?
The ONLY way to get any carrier locked iPhone officially unlocked is through the carrier the phone is locked to. There is no other way to get an iPhone officially unlocked. So, contact the carrier your phone is locked to to see if they offer unlocking & what the cost/procedure is. If they don't offer unlocking or you don't qualify, then there is no way to get your phone officially unlocked.

Any idea how i can unlock iphone4?
i asked for an unlocked one from best buy store but they gave me one with simlock to at&t. i did not sign any contracts so i hope there is a way to get it unlocked. i tried to email apple but it seems impossible, i couldn't find a link to email them. i can't get a refund because it's more than one month and best buy won't take it back. any idea??? thnx!
thank you. yes, they don't sell unlocked iphone4, i learnt it a week ago. i was on holiday in usa and i wanted to buy one because it was cheaper there. i asked for an unlocked one but they sold me one locked to at&t. i try to reach at&t through web but they don't have a "contact us" thing without logging in. i can not log in because i don't know my wireless number. they don't have a toll-free contact number. so i am kind of stuck and don't know what to do...

How do I unlock iphone4 from verizon
I will be getting a used iphone 4 from a Verizon customer. How do I unlock it to add to my Virgin Mobile account?
That is a CDMA only iPhone so there really is no such thing as an unlock. See if Virgin Mobile will accept it on their system.

Well, only they can authorize the phone's unlocking, & it they refuse, then there's no way for you to get it officially unlocked.
Apple can't/won't help you. -

Only the carrier (orange) that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it.
You'll need to contact Orange, but a warning most carrier would want you on their service before unlocking it. -
