How to find genuine factory unlock phone?

Hi
Please clarify.
I’m going to buy a iPhone from a retail shop. (Sealed pack, not activated yet)
If I check the serial no with apple
Should it show the warranty details?
Or
Should is show that the iPhone is not activated yet?
Which is the correct result?
In the retail shop there where two sealed iPhones.
When I check the serial no with apple one says it is not activated, other one shows the warranty information.
Which one is the genuine one?

The easy option is to by from the local as there is no authorize apple seller in my country.
Could you please tell me before active the phone should show the warranty details or not?

  • 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.

  • Hi, I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. Any solutions??

    Hi,
    I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. I have a 3G plan but most of the time it switches automatically to EDGE. Thats when i have to either switch Airplane mode - On/Off and then it acts normal. Any permanant solutions to fix this problem?

    Return the iPhone personally or via friend/relative/co-worker who is in
    the US. The warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase - the USA
    in this case. Apple will not accept international shipments for evaluation nor
    will Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
    How did the iPhone from the US get to you in India? Reverse that process to
    get it back to the US so someone can take it into Apple.

    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.

  • How do I activate factory unlocked iphone 5 for  first time

    How do I activate factory unlocked iphone 5 for  first time?Should i connect to itunes?Or should I put the sim first and then ON the device?Pls help me

    Yes.
    Insert the SIM card and power the iPhone on to find out. Nothing bad can happen if you can't and if you can't for some reason, connect the iPhone to iTunes.

  • If I buy a factory unlocked phone can I use any SIM card worldwide?

    If I buy a factory unlocked iPhone can it be used worldwide with any sim?

    Yes. Certain models of the iPhone work best in certain countries, but as long as you purchase a factory unlocked phone, you can use it with any carrier that has SIM cards.
    This article has a list of supported carriers for the iPhone. If you use the iPhone with an unsupported carrier, you will probably find that it does not work well and/or that some features don't work as expected.
    Also, factory unlocked phones are sold only through Apple stores. They are not available anywhere else.
    Additionally, the warranty for the phone is valid only in the country of purchase. It is not international.

  • 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.

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.

    how to identify a factory unlocked iphone 4s without taking it of the box

    The model number is NOT a reliable indicator of whether or not the phone is locked. The only exception might be models originating in countries where ALL iPhones are unlocked, or where the carriers do not offer unlocking and Apple does not sell unlocked phones (e.g. India and Japan respectively).

  • Hi I bought a factory unlocked phone from Dubai but I'm using it in india. But it still doesn't have FaceTime option in settings . is there a way to get FaceTime on my phone without jail breaking .. Pla help guys

    Bought my iPhone 4 from Dubai even though it's a factory unlocked phone I don't have a FaceTime button in setting so I'm wondering is there anyway I can get the FaceTime with out jail breaking my device it's working on iOS 4.3.5 , I read so much about getting it after u jailbreak Ur phone u get FaceTime but can I get it with out jail breaking my device as I'm using it in india please reply guys

    iPhones purchased in the UAE do not have FaceTime installed and FaceTime will not appear regardless of where the phone is taken.
    Jailbreaking will void your warranty with Apple, may permanently render your phone unusuable, and will eliminate the possibility of getting help from Apple or its forums including this one.
    If you want FaceTime on an iPhone, sell that phone and purchase one from one of the authorized iPhone dealers in India.
