How to activate my iphone 4 that is locked at (att) in UAE

Hi.
I have purchased an iphone 4 from att and it's locked,then i decided to go back to the UAE but the phone is locked so i cant use it how can i make it work on UAE Carriers (Etisalat-Du) please help me

Fly back to the states, activate on AT&T's network(pick a plan & agree to two year contract), get International Provisioning activated for your phone, again pick a plan to use in the UAE, fly back to the UAE, you can now use your phone.
Did I mention that that would cost a fortune each month?

    If you mean your passcode lock:
    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
      1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
      2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.
    If you mean unlocked from your carrier, then contact them as they are the only ones who can unlock the phone.

  • I have Hello screen after i slide to set up gel language options after select English , Egypt it request to connect with WI FI after connect start to activate my IPhone after that it unable to activated because the activation server is unavailable

    I have Hello screen after i slide to set up gel language options after select English , Egypt it request to connect with WI FI after connect start to activate my IPhone after that it unable to activated because the activation server is unavailable and request to connect to itunes and no activate.

    4 possible causes of that message:
    1] Activation server is actually down. Very rare occurrence, but it does happen.
    When it does occur, down time is very short. Solution - try again.
    2] Your firewall or antivirus are blocking the connection. Solution - temporarily
    deactivate your firewall or antivirus until the update completes.
    3] Computer being used for the activation has previously been used to jailbreak
    an iOS device. Solution - use a computer that has not been used to jailbreak an
    iOs device.
    4] Your iPhone is jailbroken. Google may provide some direction. Be advised the jailbreak
    may have made changes that will prevent the iPhone from successfully activating.
    Terms of Use for this forum prohibit discussion of jailbroken iPhones.

  • TS1292 how to activat a itunes code that will not redem

    how to activat a itunes code that will not redem

    I was having the same problem with a card that I received as a gift. Finally, I realized that it's an APPLE gift card and not an iTunes gift card. They are different and one will not work for another. The Apple card is used for hardware, software, cases, headphones, etc that you can buy in store or online. The iTunes card can only be used for music, apps, videos purchased through iTunes.
    But as long as it is in fact an iTunes card, the only other thing I've read about it not activating is to wait a few days and try it again. Sometimes it takes a while for the store where it was purchased from to send the activation info to Apple and read it as a valid code. I guess it doesn't happen instantaneously when scanned at the store.

    hi , i have an iphone 4 that is locked and the person i bought it off cannot remember the password security number ?

    Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer.   There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
    You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

    Not for long
    not knowing the consequent restarted the phone setting and now i can use the my iphone because i need a sim card without a pin lock to activate it but it cam with no sim card because it was open to all networks.
    Its always a good idea to read the manual first ...
    what can i do and how can i get a sim which can activate my iphone, and i have to activate with a PC that has has itunes installed on it.
    You speak to your 'friend' and find out where it really came from - I'd bet its for the US. You then ring AT&T and take out a 2 year plan and pay for it and they then send you a SIM card so you can activate the phone.
    You're not the first person to be conned into thinking they were getting an unlocked phone - we have about one a day here. The phone should have cost you near £500 to £600 in the UK - if it was a lot less, they saw you coming
