    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.

    If you are in the UK:
    Please upgrade your plan to Web n Walk plus. One of our users on T-Mobile UK had this to report back to us:
    T-Mobile UK are in fact port blocking to ensure fair usage on their base Web and Walk Plan. I have upgraded to Web and Walk Plus and as a result the port blocks are lifted and I get a higher data allowance!
    We were also recently contacted by T-Mobile UK, who stated the following:
    Any smart phone (iphone, android etc) that is bought directly from T-Mobile should be automatically provisioned with Web n Walk plus, if customers have bought a handset sim free then they will need to call customer services and get this added. It is free of charge for most price plans (including new plans) but some older plans will generate a charge of £5pm for this.

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

  • How i can know if my iPhone 4S is factory unlocked?

    I just got a brand new iPhone 4S from my carrier (GSM) as a contract renewal, (2 Years contract)
    i was messing around and i inserted a SIM card from a different carrier, and it worked! (3G, Voice, Data, SMS/MMS, etc)
    i want to know if this means that my iPhone 4S is factory unlocked?!
    How i can know for sure?
    Thanks!

    i bought it in a 2-year contract.
    but how come it works on different carriers sim cards?
    its possible that my carrier is giving away unlocked iPhones, on 2-year contract?
    Other thing i recall, on the back part of the iPhone's box i recall that the iPhone 4, has the brand of the carrier, as att, like this -> http://cl.ly/BNaG
    Now my iPhone 4S box is unbranded, since it doesnt has the carrier logo anywhere.

    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 will I know if my iPhone 4S is factory unlocked

    I want to know if my iPhone 4S is factory unlocked please share some help..

    Just because you didn't jailbreak it doesn't mean that the seller didn't. They could have easily done so and resealed the box; this is quite commonly done by unauthorized resellers. In Qatar only Vodaphone is an authorized reseller of the iPhone. If the iPhone was purchased from some other seller, there is no way we can know whether the iPhone is indeed truly unlocked or was jailbroken.

    No. I've given you your answer. Buy from an un-official source, and you take your chances. And yes, if your phone was hacked to unlock it(common from un-official sources), it will be locked back to the carrier it was originally locked to if you update software or restore the phone.

  • How much does apple charge to factory unlock my i phone

    how much does apple charge to factory unlock my i phone

    $0.  they dont unlock phones... Carriers do.
    ATT will unlock your phone after ur contract is over.
    Verizon/Sprint will unlock GSM portion but they have conditions that need to be met. 
    Best thing to do is call the iPhone's carrier...
