How do I unlock my Iphone so it can be used on any network?

You have to request this from the carrier (operator) the phone is locked to.  Not all carriers offer authorized unlocking, you can check here to see if yours does: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937

  • How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock?

    How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck. Ive tried recovery mode and nothing still restores and asks me the same thing. Been working on this forever- Please Help!

    If you want to risk your money, fine. 
    To answer your questions
    Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
    Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
      Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
    No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
    That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
    Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
    Or what about replacing the motherboard?
    There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone.

  • How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint. The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
    The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    There is no such thing as an unlock code.   Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

    I bought a used iphone from a friend and I am not able to use it in Ethiopia. It is carrier blocked. Can you please help how could I unlock my iphone 4?.

    Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
    Have your friend the provided the phone contact them.  Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked.

  • HT4946 how do i unlock my iPhone when its locked in the itune plug in mode?

    how do I unlock my iPhone when it is in the itune locked mode for updates, i powered out when i was updating

    Unfortunately once the iPhone is in that mode the best practice is to just restore the whole iPhone via iTunes.
    The iPhone is in recovery mode. So to get it out of recovery mode and restore through iTunes is all you got to do.
    Hope this helps

    No.
    Again,  ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it.  NO one else at all  No one.  ONLY the carrier to which it is locked.
    In this case, Softbank does not unlock iphones at all.
