How to check for factory unlocked iphone4 ?

I have scrolled and searched and couldn't locate right answer to the same questions many people had
I was looking to buy second hand iphone4 from private seller and I have trouble identify unlocked iphone,
I bought one from private seller, and advertised as unlocked and when I checked the "About" screen it was locked to a Carrier it said carrier name 11.0, and I can;t get unlocked unless I am orginal owner which I wasn't so I have return it,
when you go to settings > general > about and scroll down to Carrier what should say when it is factory unlocked ?

If you call Apple Care with the serial number, they may be able to tell you. What they will not be able to tell you is whether the phone was reported to a carrier as lost or stolen and subsequently blacklisted, meaning locked or unlocked, it will be useless.
The best way to know is buy a new phone from a legitimate source, or, if you must buy second hand, buy from someone you know and trust.

  • 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.

    Oh those Canadians, you just have to take what they say with a grain of salt.
    The warranty on the iPhone, contract or not, is not world wide. If something happens to your iPhone I seriously doubt wherever you are in Europe that they stock Canadian unlocked iPhones. Worse, if you take it to an Apple Store in a country where the iPhone is locked then they can only replace it with a locked iPhone from their supply of replacement phones. If it is with a different cell provider than you use well, that's just too bad.
    You would either need to return to Canada for service or send it to someone there who can take it in for you.

  • HT1937 i have iphone 5 carrier locked to sprint so how can it be factory unlocked ?

    i have iphone 5 carrier locked to sprint so how can it be factory unlocked ?
    what is a good way to unlock it as i am in UAE now

    Don't waste your time, as I've already stated, Sprint WILL NOT autrhorize the unlocking of your sim slot.
    You wasted your money. Return the phone for a refund, if you can, otherwise, sell it to someone that can use it on Sprint's network in the US.

  • I would like to ask if iphone company has a service offered for factory unlock

    I recently bought a second hand iphone4 in japan, i would like to ask if iphone company has a service offered for factory unlock?
    Thank you

    Only the carrier your phone is locked to can authorize your phone's official unlocking. There is no other way to get any iPhone officially unlocked. Unfortunately for you, none of the Japanese carriers offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, there is no way to get your phone officially unlocked.

  • How to activate a Factory unlocked Iphone 4s

    When I buy a Verizon IPhone 4s I am able to get a SIM unlock but this is not a unlocked Phone. I am not able to use for example
    a AT&T SIM or use is on other CDMA Carriers. It states on the Apple Web-Site if I buy a Factory unlocked phone I am not able to use it on Verizon. This makes absolute no sense. I would like to stay with Verizon (customer for over 10 Years) but since I am traveling all over the world I would like to order a real World Phone.
    Does anyone know how to activate a Factory unlocked IPhone 4s on Verizon.

    The Verizon iPhone 4s is a real World Phone...what you are wanting to do is have Verizon service and use GSM networks while in the US...or at least that what it sounds like since you state that you are having trouble using another U.S. carrier's sim card on your phone. You can't do that. But when you are overseas you can use a local carrier's simcard there if you have the Verizon sim unlocked. As far as the Apple unlocked device that can't be used with Verizon...it makes sense because that device is natively a GMS device...so it will work unlocked on other GSM networks but not on VZW's CDMA. In general, it has always been my understanding that unlocked devices (not just sim's) are for use n GSM networks and not CDMA's.

  • How to check for a function module with its description and functionality

    Hi all,
    How to check for a function module,with its description and its functionality,in detail how can I know the purpose of a particular function module,how to search for a function module which suits my requirement .

    Hi,
    You can search a FM of your requirement by putting in the Key words and searching for a FM. Like * KEYWORD * and then pressing F4.
    Say for example you need to search something regarding converstion.
    Search for * CONVERT * and press F4.
    If there is something specfic like converting date to something you can give
    DATE * CONVERT *
    OR
    CONVERT * DATE *  and press F4.
    Once you narrow down your search you will have a Function module documentation inside the Function module. Please note that all the FMs willl not have documentation.

  • Want to know how to check for new line character in text file

    Hi All,
    I`m trying to read data from text file. However I`m not sure whether the data is in 1st line or nth line. Now I`m trying to read the text from the readline. But if text is "" and not NULL then my code fails. So I want to know how to check for new line character and go to next line to find the data. Please help.
    Thanks
    static int readandwriteFile(Logger logger,String filepath){
              BufferedWriter out = null;
              BufferedReader in = null;
              File fr = null;
              int get_count = 0;
              try     {
              if(new File(filepath).exists())
              fr= new File(filepath);
                        System.out.println("FileName: "+fr);
                   if(fr != null){
    in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fr));
                             String text = in.readLine();
                             if(text != null){
                             get_count = Integer.parseInt(text);
                             in.close();
                             else{
                                  get_count = 0;
         else{                    
    out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(filepath));
         out.write("0");
                out.close();
                   }          //Reading of the row count file ended.
              catch(Exception e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              finally {
                   try{               if (in != null) {
                             in.close();
              if (out != null) {
                             out.close();
              catch(Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
              return get_count;
         }

    You are calling the readline() only once which means you are reading only the first line from the file...
    Use a loop (Do-While preferably)
    do{
    //your code
    }while(text == "")

    Hi Sundhar,
    According to your description, you might want to check the existence of sub folder in a folder of a library using Client Object Model.
    Please take the code demo below for a try, it will check whether there is sub folder in a given folder:
    public static void createSubFolder(string siteUrl, string libName, string folderServerRelativeUrl)
    ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
    List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(libName);
    CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery();
    camlQuery.ViewXml =
    @"<View Scope='RecursiveAll'>
    <Query>
    <Where>
    <Eq>
    <FieldRef Name='FSObjType' />
    <Value Type='Integer'>1</Value>
    </Eq>
    </Where>
    </Query>
    </View>";
    //camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = "/Lib1/folder1";
    camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = folderServerRelativeUrl;
    ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(camlQuery);
    clientContext.Load(items);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
    Console.WriteLine(items.Count);
    if (0 == items.Count)
    //create sub folder here
    Best regards
