How to check that iPhone 4 is factory unlock or not

how to check an iPhone is factory unlock or not

There is no way to check. This question gets asked all the time, and the simple fact is if you purchased your phone from an official source that sells officially unlocked iPhones, your phone is officially unlocked. If you didn't purchase from an official source, there is a good chance it was hacked.

    Did you buy it unlocked at full, non-subsidised price?  If not, then it's not unlocked.

  • How to check if iphone is locked or unlocked?

    i have iphone 5s i do not know how to check if its locked or factory unlocked

    Like what ordinary user has spare sim cards lying around??
    My provider SAYS they've unlocked my old phone, so I can sell it as unlocked.
    But how can I tell if it's been completed?
    I do not have,  nor would I know how to get, a card from any other carrier.  And if I did, there would not be any signal from that carrier with which to check, because where I live the only signal within several miles is the one generated by my own microcell.
    So now what?

  • How do I confirm whether my iphone 5s is factory unlocked or not

    Recently I bought an Iphone 5s. I need to confirm that my phone 100% factory unlocked. But how pls advise

    If you bought a brand new iPhone directly from Apple, then look at your receipt. There will be nothing in the box indicating whether it's locked or unlocked.
    Where, exactly, did you buy it?

    How to know that iphone is locked or unlocked ?
    In my case when I put the sim card of SK telecom the iphone display the carrier of SK telecom and when I replace the sim card with KT then it displays the carrier with KT telecom in the settings.
    Does that mean my iphone is unlocked and it is  carrier free?
    In my case these both sim are expired so they dont show any networks.
    They just display "Searching " and then "No service" but in the carrier section (settings) it displays the corresponding telecoms and the phone numbers.
    So is it unlocked phone.
    If it is unlocked phone then I was thinking o use a mini sim card(SK telecom) in it which is not expired by cutting it into micro sim card .Will it work ?
    Help me !!!

    The ONLY way to know for sure whether your phone is officially unlocked or not is to have purchased your phone from an official source that sells officially unlocked iPhones. If you did so, you have nothing to worry about. If you did not purchase from an official source, well...you take your chances and hope for the best. Many phones, from non-official sources, advertised as "factory unlocked", are in fact hacked to unlock them.

    Try another sim other than the one from your carrier
    The best test is where did you buy the iPhone
    The ONLY source of genuinely unlocked iPhones is direct from Apple
    Unless it came from an Apple Retail Store or their online store
    it is most likely locked to a carrier

  • How to check some iPhone is factory unlocked?

    There was a place into the apple web site where everybody could if an iPhone (check using serial number or IMEI) is factory unlocked or not. I used it some time ago, now I'm looking for it but I can't find it at apple's web site.

    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.
