The only place you can purchase an unlocked iPhone is directly from Apple.
If it is locked to T-Mobile, you will need to contact T-Mobile to unlock it.

Will an iphone 4 that was originally purchased from apple directly as a factory unlocked phone remain unlocked or will it have now locked to the network it was used on. I've been told by carphone warehouse that the iphone will lock to first sim used in it

Will an iphone 4 that was originally purchased from apple directly as a factory unlocked phone remain unlocked or will it have now locked to the network it was used on. I've been told by carphone warehouse that the iphone will lock to first sim used in it (in this case Orange) and will need to be unlocked again. Just wanted the view of anybody who knows about this for sure. Thanks

If you bought it directly from Apple as unlocked it should be unlocked for all networks. There are phones sold that WILL lock to the first carrier it is used with, but this does not apply to phones where the receipt says "unlocked".
I have not had good experiences with Carphone Warehouse.

If the phone is unlocked then you can use it in India.
If your phone is locked, then the only way to get the phone unlocked is to contact your phone company/carrier. The person that sold you the phone in Saudi should have told you whether it was locked or unlocked. Contact them to check and then contact the carrier to have it unlocked if it is locked.
Other than that there is not a lot that you can do - perhaps it was unwise to purchase a phone in Saudi - it won't have Facetime on it if you got it there.

As I bought my iPhone 5 16GB,White in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in Chinausing local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message

Dear AppleCare，
As I bought my iPhone 5 16GB,White in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in Chinausing local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message, and iMessage and Facetime also seem not to work.This is very serious for Apple and me! Will I have the chance to fix this?
I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.
Information of my iPhone:
SN:F1*******8GJ
IMEI: ****
MEID: ****
ICCID: ****
My Apple ID account：****

I had the same problem. Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections. I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked. This did though: I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work). It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer. I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore. Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back. I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

My phone on contract with t-mobile . Thanks

You can't have content in iCloud without having it on your phone, you will need to look at deleting items from your device that you don't need. Movies and TV shows from iTunes are possibly a good start because they tend to be large and can be redownloaded at a later date.

How can i enter to icloud if i don´t know the id because i bought me i phone from a second hand

Please i need URGENT help, because i can not use my iphone , it have both botton crushed and the only way to fix them is accesing to the iphone by icloud but as i bought it from a second hand is impossible for me to know the iclod id , i have my apple id whish i used for itunes, and the store but i can´t enter to the iclod with this id because is not avalible.What can i do, it cost a lot of money and i dont want to loos it.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone. Take it back and get a refund, the phone is useless without the Apple ID.

I bought a iPhone 4 from USA in $749. As I did not take a data plan, still the phone is locked, now when apple is selling unlocked phone and I have paid the dull amount, will they unlock my phone

AT&T has not as of yet announced any plans to unlock an iPhone that was purchased as locked to them. Whether or not they will do so in the future, only AT&T would know, and they probably will not say unless and until they're ready to make an official announcement. There is nothing Apple can do for you in this matter unless you are still within the timeframe for returning the iPhone.
Regards.

I recently brought an iPhone 5 from a person and their apple id is still on the phone i for got my passcode and locked the phone up. I factory restored the phone and i still need their id to unlock it. how can i bypass the unlock activation

You can't. Until the previous owner removes the activation lock, the device is useless to you; Apple won't remove it unless presented with proof that the registered owner is dead.

i have a iphone 4s last 6 month ios 5.1.1 and i am faceing a problem with facetime application

iPhones sold in Saudi Arabia don't have FaceTime due to restrictions by that country's government, and there is no way to install it, including via iOS updates (it's blocked by the device's serial number). You could download the Skype app as an alternative.

I have just bought a macbook pro, converting from a pc. How do i now sync my iphone with my new mac without losing everything from phone?

I would like to find out i can connect 2 iphones to my new macbook pro. They were both synced with my PC. I have transfered my libary from the PC to the mac but dsont want to lose everything from iphone.

This is always fun.
In iTunes you will need to take some steps.
First connect to the device to the computer.
Click the Store button at the top - Click Authorize this Computer- enter in your Credentials for your AppleID
Once your computer is authorized
Click File at the top left of the screen and then click Transfer Purchases.
Once that is finished
Click on the name of the iPhone under device
Click the Info tab above the phone in the middle of the screen.
Check the box's for the content you want to sync,
Contacts- Addressbook
Calendars iCal Calendars.
Dont need to do mail,
Sync notes - if you want.
Anything in the Advanced section DO NOT TOUCH.
Click apply at the bottom right,
Once that is complete you should be able to sync with this comptuer***
***Note***
Any music that was not purchased from the iTunes store will not transfer only Music Purchased from the iTunes store will transfer.. - so no CD's or Torrented, Downloaded from the interwebz,,
If you want those types of music to transfer you will have to setup a Wireless shared Folder, or a USB/External drive to transfer it over.

I am in Germany and just purchased a sim card from ALDI, I tried to activate it on my phone, but it says it is locked. How do I unlock it? I only have wifi so I can't call Verizon Support from my phone, is there a way to do it online?

I actually managed to unlock it by borrowing someone else's phone to call
verizon. I am using my iphone 4s with an aldi sim card. I'm having some
trouble with sms and internet, but I don't think that has anything to do
verizon, thank you for getting back to me!

How can i change my iphone mode from t-mobile contract free to unlocked?

i actually was cheated from the online assistant!
I always want an unlocked iphone 5s.Last time i was consulting the online agent, he or she recommanded me to choose t-mobile contract free mode.He said as long as its a nano sim card. it will work with any service
then i took it as he suggested. today when i was asking an online agent again that if there is any kind of iphone5s works with foreign sim card. after a while, i got that the t-mobile contract free modes only work with t-mobile service within US but you can use foreign sim card when you are abroad.
Is that a kind of cheating to make me just purchase it in the first place?
I am really disappointed with the apple agents wether they are not honest or not professional. I think i am going to be extremely careful next time even with those seemingly official enough company
Now does anyone know how i can change the funny t-mobile contract free mode to unlocked??
Thanks much!

Well the thing is Tmobile has to be the UNLOCKED version then. I have tmobile and I bought an Iphone 5s from Apple TMOBILE. Payed the 600$ and popped in my existing sim. I had no dealings with tmobile for my phone and have no contract. I should be able to go to ATT sign up and pop it in to work. So the Tmobile version is the "unlocked" version right now and a sim is included for convience.
If you notice the bottom of the phones it says it will only work with the carrier you choose. Which is a clever way to word it. Which leads me to believe its unlocked. I payed full price so they cant "lock" it.

I bought a new phone, and am trying to sync to my old phone on the cloud...how do I do this? Had to initially update to 6.1 system so can't use the initial configuation...help!

I just bought a new IPhone 5-had tp update the operating system to be able to sync it with my axisting phone which was on 6.1 (new phone was on 6.0.1). So the new phone is now synced to an old version of my old phone that was on ITunes...how do I get it to sync to the newest version of my old phone that is on iCloud??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

My friend took my phone and tried to guess my password to unlock it, and he locked me out of my phone for a minute, but when it unlocked and i tried to use my phone all of my apps, photos, all my data had been deleted. how can i get them back?

As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

How can I get my phone unlocked if I am after emigrating and haven't topped up my phone in a year?

Hi I moved to New Zealand and brought my Meteor Nokia Lumia phone over with me. I couldn't get it to work here and bought a cheap phone to get me by. I loved my Nokia Lumia though and am trying to get it unlocked. My sister recently came over on holidays and wasn't able to use hers either but rang home and got it unlocked. I have tried to get it unlocked it but is it very expensive and you might as well get a new phone. I have rang home but Meteor told me they can't as I haven't topped up the phone in over a year. Does anybody have any advice without it costing a bomb. All of our savings are gone emigrating and just hope someone would know how we can do this or Meteor might have pity on us? Thank you Lorraine

Meteor are a commercial company and don't do pity.I had a similar issue in New Zealand working there for 6 months where despite my phone being an Irish one and unlocked, It was still regionally locked by Huawei (European) and couldn't be unlocked to Vodafone NZ. NZ is full of Asians plus Asian phone stores, you might try them to see if they can unlock it... The cheapest option for me was to buy a local PAYG phone.
