How to know my Iphone 4s carrier

or how can I unlock it?
my Imei it is 01319100771721 0
thanks

If you can open the phone, you can go to Settings>General>About>Carrier and it should be listed there. If you cannot get into the phone, you can try calling Apple Care and asking them. You are not addressing Apple here, so no one can check that.
Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize the unlock. Once you finid out who that is, contact them to see if they provide unlock services. If the do, see if you qualify. If you do, then follow their instructions. If you do not, there isn't anything that you can do.

i purchase iphone from saudi arabia (mobily telecom), can i use this mobile in pakistan and other custires. and how i know this phone is carrier unlocked..

It will be locked to mobily telecom, and according to Apple's list of supported carriers and their features (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937) they do not offer unlocking. Since only the carrier it is locked to can unlock it, you have bought a useless phone.

how to know my iphone 5 lock or unlock?

The store or person from whom you bought the iPhone should be able to tell you. If not, you can either just try a different carrier's SIM, or perhaps if you call Apple Support they may be able to tell you.

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.

How apple support my iphone who ever my serial is replaced and how i know my iphone is refurbished ??

Hi everyone! I have iphone 4s, which was my friends bought it from canada appstore about 1 month before and has serial number DQ*******TDD and IMEI ****. When i try to check warranty on the page https://selfsolve.apple.com/wcResults.do i see
We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us.
And if i try to enter IMEI here i see
Our records indicate that this product has been replaced. Please provide the serial number for your replacement product to find the support and warranty coverage information. For more information, please contact us.
Does it means, that I was bought a non exist iPhone? Or it was refurbished? I need an official answer to take them to seller because I was bought iPhone as a new.
How I know my iphone is refurbished?
Thank you.
answers that i folow up and find are :
- Did you purchase the device from Apple or an authorized reseller? If not, then you were scammed.
- It means you bought a gray market phone that was replaced, reported lost, or reported stolen, then re-sold illegally. It has no warranty and Apple will not service it with an out of warranty replacement.
- If your phone was replaced, it was most likely refurbished.
- You cannot tell the difference between a refurbished phone and a new one.
- check your serial number if its starts with 5K then its refurbished model
Not true. All it does is identify it as 'service stock'. It may be refurbised, or it may be new. There is no way for you, or even someone at an Apple Store, to tell the difference.
6 - You bought a phone that was stolen, lost, or taken in for repair and then re-sold illegally. get your money back if you can.
If there is ever a hardware problem that requires service, you will most likely not be able to get it serviced or replaced by Apple.
7- During the refurbishment process the devices are assigned a new serial number.
8- This means that your iPhone was replaced by Apple and you entered the serial number for your old iPhone which was replaced.
9- That means that particular phone has been replaced under warranty. Where did you get the phone from? If it was used, the previous owner may have had it replaced and not returned it to Apple as they were supposed to and sold it.
10- Interpreting what you postd, it would seem you had the device replaced at some earlier stage. Apple doesn't repair but instead replaces the whole unit with a refurbished unit which has its own serial number. Whatever the case, you will have to see Apple about the matter.
11- white box (new) or a brown box (refurb)
now my questions :
how i know my iphone is refurbished and how apple support my iphone who ever my serial is replaced ??

How can I know my device is refurbished or new one??Can I check my device is refurbished or new with serial number?

I am currently here at Philippines and my IPhone 4 was buy in Canada and I Can't Use it Because I'ts not been Unlock yet and I Want to know my Serial Number and I Don't Know if it is a Original or Fake Please help,
I you say Connect to your computer and check it on your iTunes Sorry to say but I don't Have Any Valid Sim Card For my iPhone and the only thing I can see is my IMEI by pressing the Letter i when I open my iPhone

You can't. You need a valid SIM to activate the phone.

Not sure how to ask this; iPhone 5 carrier unlocked but question about refurb iPhone 5

Ok, so. Sorry if the tittle is a bit confusing, im not really sure how to even word it myself.
The short; I had some issues with AT&T at the begining of the year so i left them and had them unlock my iPhone 5 so i could use it with T-Mobile. But now im having this issue with my iPhone 5 were the home buton is a bit unresponsive sometimes. It started as it feeling a bit loose and making a clicking sound when slightly taped. I did go to the Apple store when it first started happening and they said it wasnt a big issue, that some did this, basicaly saying "Its normal dont worry about it." I said ok and went on my way.
Now, when i had an unresponsive home button on my old iPhone 4 with AT&T all the Apple store did was give me a refurb. Ok, no issues, pop sim out of old iPhone, put in refurb iPhone, everything works fine.
But, my question is; if they give me a refurb iPhone 5, how would the whole process work seeing as i had my current iPhone 5 unlocked by AT&T vs. buying it unlocked from Apple and im using it on a different network other then what i bought for?
Sorry if its all a bit confusing, like i said, im not even sure how to word some of this.

An exchange under warranty can be a new or refurbished iPhone with no way to tell the difference. An exchange under warranty if new or refurbished is called a service unit and is provided in a plain unsealed box with the iPhone only.
Apple should have on record that your iPhone 5 is officially unlocked since the unlocking was done by Apple with iTunes after Apple was notified by AT&T that unlocking your iPhone was authorized by AT&T.
Make sure this information is on record by Apple before the iPhone is exchanged if Apple determines the iPhone needs to be exchanged under warranty.

I bought my iphone last a month but *now days I realized that my model was MC131B verson 3.1.3(7E18)* setting on the phone . *my question is , what really does my iphone model is?*
When I bought this iphone the salesman told that was Iphone 3GS.
I'm confuse that when i saw my friends iphone that so many difference tools.
*please I need somebody to tell me what was my iphone model is?*

This would be an iPhone 3Gs with no doubt. If the model is a MC model, it has to be the 3GS. The iPhone 3G was never sold long enough the produce MC models.
