How to check if my phone is unlocked or not?

my old phone was cracked and Apple replaced with a new iphone 4 for 170 dollers. but my sim card that i use in a different country does not work? why?

If your original phone was purchased as unlocked directly from Apple, or was properly unlocked by the original cellular provider, the replacement should also be unlocked. Any other methods of unlocking will not guarantee an unlocked replacement.

    Nothing we can do to help you.  If it was bought in the UK from an Apple store as unlocked, it is unlocked.  If it was bought anywhere else, it will be locked, and only the carrier it is locked to will be able to unlock it.
    If you've tried a local SIM and it has not worked, then you have your answer, it is locked.

    how to check if remote phone locking in E5 is working

    If the phone is off nothing can be done about it.
    As is evident in the thread that aspergerguy linked you can check by sending the required sms to your phone but that guy was reporting what sounds like a bug if you do just send the message to test.
    Honestly you have very little time to actually do something about a stolen phone. It's not like tracking a car which itself is not 100% effective. I don't bother with such software it's actually for the stupid thieves.

    A G5 iMac don't have video-in capability, so you can't just use a simple cable to connect the two Macs.
    Have a look/try at ScreenRecycler http://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html

  • How to check iPad/iPhone is it unlocked or locked?

    HI~~
    I've bought an iPad 3, Verizon model. I wonder how to check my iPad is it unlocked or locked version.
    Thanks.

    You should be able to call AppleCare and give them the serial number. They should be able to tell you if it's locked and who it's locked to.

    As Kilted Tom said, make sure that you speak with your previous provider.  ATT will direct you to a website and have you enter in some information which will determine if you qualify for the unlocking status.  After you complete that, you will need to restore your phone as new through iTunes.  Make sure that you have a backup to iCloud in order to retrieve your content and data after you restore your device.

  • Hi. Im currently living in New Zealand. Just bought an iphone 5s yesterday from a shop called Parallel Brand Imports in Auckland. When i came home i called apple to check whether my phone is locked or not and they said that its locked to US Verizon even t

    When i came home i called apple to check whether my phone is locked or not and they said that its locked to US Verizon even though when i checked on iphoneimei it said sim status unknown. I put my 2degrees (NZ carrier) in today and it worked fine. I got into the settings and turned off the automatically part of carrier and there were 3 options for me to choose 2degrees vodafone and telecom. Because of that, im quite confused abt whether my phone is locked or not since im from vietnam so i want to know if i can use vietnamese sim card when i go home. Thanks for your help@verizon

    Hi tranvietanh - I appreciate you contacting us all the way from New Zealand! I can confirm that the iPhone 5s and all of our other 4G LTE device are not SIM locked. As the carrier in New Zealand may not support the exact same frequencies and cellular bands that we use on our network, we are unable to support the device if using a 3rd party SIM.
    Thank you,

    Phone number of the device is assigned by the carrier.
    Ask the carrier.

  • Who will tell me whether my phone is unlocked or not?

    hi
    who will tell me whether my phone is unlocked or not?

    If your phone is out of contract, then I would take that to mean that when you purchased the phone you purchased it with a contract?  If this is correct, then you will have to contact your phone company to request that they unlocked your phone for you.  Nobody else can do this.  If this is the case and you did have a contract, then it does mean that your phone is locked.

    Depends
    If you need a cellphone then No.
    If he wants more than $1 then No.
    I would suggest that you buy an iPod Touch from Apple.
