How to check iphone 4s is original factory unlocked

How to check iphone 4s is originaly factory unlocked 

Purchase an unlocked phone from a legitimate source (i.e. Apple if they sell unlocked phones in your country or a carrier who sells unlocked phones. See this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937).
If you already have one, 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.

    Your carrier may be able to tell you, otherwise just try a SIM from another carrier.

    Put a SIM from another carrier in it...
    Where did you get it from? If you're in the U.S. There is no such thing as a factory unlocked iPhone 3Gs.

  • How to check iphone 4s factory unlocked in used market?

    looking to buy second hand iphone 4s, the seller said factory unlocked, but is there a way to check if it actualy is factory unlocked and not some hack job. ?

    Ask for original purchase receipt to see what it says.
    What does the iPhone say when you look at Settings=>
    General=>Carrier?
    Purchase from Apple or authorized reseller so you do not
    have to worry.

  • Can I purchase an IPhone 5 that is factory unlocked, so that I can insert my t-mobile sim card and use it on my service from the apple store?

    Can I purchase an IPhone 5 that is factory unlocked, so that I can insert my t-mobile sim card and use it on my service from the apple store?

    Not in the US, at the present time. Apple has not started selling officially unlocked iPhone 5's in the US, & has not announced when they will.

  • Hi, is the iphone 6  T-Mobile factory unlocked !?

    hi, is the iphone 6 T-Mobile factory unlocked !?

    As has been said, T-Mobile phones purchased directly from Apple have been historically unlocked. No reason to think the 6 will be any different.
    If you Purchase a T-Mobile Phone from a T-Mobile store instead of an Apple store, then they are not unlocked.
    The big clue is in the Price form Apple. You are not paying a subsidized price for the T-Mobile phone when bought directly from Apple. Its a full price Phone which would suggest it is unlocked.
    However, until such time as the iPhone 6 is actually released and its status confirmed there's no way to say with 100% certainty if that will be the case.
    You need to wait until its released to be sure it is unlocked. But again there's no reason to think it won't be since all previous T-Mobile models have been unlocked when purchased directly from Apple.
    Hope this is clear enough.

  • How to check iPhone 2,3,4 with and without S factory unlock status

    There are many discussion going around people concerned about how they can check that an iphone they got or purchased is FACTORY UNLOCKED here is what they need to do which I recently did
    1. First of all you will be getting signals for any carrier sim you insert into iphone
    2. To Confirm the FACTORY UNLOCK status you require following things
    (a) Latest version of itune
    (b) Latest version of ios download it to you laptop/pc desktop .
    3. Connect you iPhone with itune using cable connection not wifi , Itune should stay open
    4. press SHIFT button on your keyword for Windows and if you are on MAC you are going to hold option button then click Restore button and select the IPSW you have downloaded on your desktop and let restore process begain
    5. Once this is done you will have iphone screen and strat completing the activation screen in most cases you will have carrier shown up on top before the activation process end
    6, ocne done you will see on your Itune screen
    just like attached image in post it means your iphone is factory unlock and now can be used anywhere
    around the world.
    7. Just keep in mind iPhone official support is available to those countries where iphone are officially being launch
    Please comment if this post helps you thanks
    Note: Above process are mostly used for new factory unlocked devices for rest you will get you carrier info on top
    Thanks

  • How to know whether my IPHONE 3G S is factory unlocked ?

    Hi,
    I have recently bought iphone 3G S but i dont know whether it is factory unlocked or not. Is there any other way i can confirm whether my iphone is factory unlocked or not ? Please help
    Thanks
    imran

    There is no such thing as a "factory unlocked iphone". Whether an iphone is available as unlocked or not is determined by the carriers that Apple has contracts with or if required by law where the iphone is sold. The unlock is, however, through the carriers, not Apple. Most of the time when someone posts as you do, they have a hacked phone, not an officially unlocked phone. If you restore or update your software, through itunes, the phone will be locked to the carrier it was originally locked to if not officially unlocked.

  • How to identify whether your IPhone 4 is a factory Unlock phone?

    I got my phone as a present and i want to find out whether its a factory unlock or not..is there any way to determine or a code or something to indicate that its a factory unlock phone????
    thank you..

    You can try calling Apple technical support and giving them the serial number of the iPhone. They may be able to tell you, but it's not guaranteed.
    Regards.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
