Contact Sprint. They are the only ones that can authorize an unlock. No one else can. If they refuse to unlock, there is nothing you can do but sell the device and get another phone.

How to unlock iPhone 4s from Verizon for use on AT

How do I unlock a iPhone 4s that is from Verizon so I can use it on the AT&T network? My daughter's phone got wet and won't work. We tried her sim card in my wife's iPhone and it worked fine so we borrowed a iPhone from a friend for her to use until her upgrade is available. The borrowed iPhone is a 4s and is from the Verizon network and we are on the At&t network. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Verizon iPhone 4S can only be unlocked by Verizon for use on non US carriers. It can not be used on any US carrier other than Verizon.

Go to Settings > General > About > Carrier to see who the phone is registered with.
FWIW here is the official unlocking policy from AT&T if that is the carrier the phone is registered with. Note the conditions carefully.

Your best bet maybe to simply sell the device online to someone that can use the phone here is the US and purchase a phone in your native country that is know to work on a local network.

How to restore Iphone 4 content but for a different carrier?

Hello,
I just recently unlocked my iphone 4 and backed it up before doing the factory reset. When I inserted the new sim card for a different carrier I wasn't able to restore my old content (music, photos, contacts, etc). Is there any way to restore all my old data without going back to my old carrier? Or a way for my phone to recognize my new service with my old content.
Thanks

If you select the Download Only, which is what I do all of the time, even with a broadband connection, once it is finished downloading, you go back to the Check for Update button in iTunes and it will detect the file there and then begin uncompressing the file and installing it. After the upgrade you will not need to restore the firmware, just restore your backup.

I have brought an Apple iphone 4 from Apple store Arndale house for use any network, but this phone is locked with vodafone. Please suggest, how to unlock this phone to use all other network in other country?

Dear Team,
i had brought a APPLE IPHONE4 from APPLE STORE, MANCHESTER ARNDALE. new cannon street mall.
when i was visiting for purchasing this device the sales team told me that the phone is unlocked and can use all around the world with any other network when i'm trying to use it other network it showed that NO SERVICE(at network issue) and then i made a call 2 apple customer support so the executive told me that this device has been locked with VODAFONE UK network. this was the FAKE commitment of sales team also its a CHEATING i must say that.
i'm very much disapointed and dissatiesfied with the APPLE STORE sales team...
kindely look toward and give me solution.
thanks,
regard,
Nishant Kumar

I had read that thanks but many happy owners of locked iPhones
claim to have bought from an Apple store they do not actually mean
Apple Retail
Arndale Centre is one of the largest Malls in Europe and every vendor of iPhones is there
Apple retail in UK ONLY sell unlocked iPhones unless you opt for a contract at a reduced price
not something you can do accidently as in sim free in US
But thanks for you guidance

So contact your cellular provider. Here's how:

How to unlock Iphone in india

AT&T can only unlock a phone that is locked to them. There is no indication that Sukhbir had an iPhone that was locked to AT&T, though it was possible.
And no, if the iPhone is officially unlocked by the carrier, there will be no problem from Apple or anyone else for using that iPhone with any other carrier, nor will the phone relock if restored or upgraded. The only problems come if the user jailbreaks the iPhone to unlock it.
Regards.

hi guys,
i recently bought a new iphone 4s factory unlocked. in order to avoid sim failures and invalid sim errors or No service errors, Each phone has to be unlocked by connecting it to the Itunes.
Kindly follow the below steps to avoid any SIM card conflicts
iPhone FULL Unlock - How it Works:
-Connect your iphone to itunes without any network sim inside and when connected click on the iphones name.
- Click Restore install latest version of iTunes on your Pc or Mac or click check for updates
- Let itunes Backup your phone and then Flash to the Latest Version.
- Now disconnect phone and reconnect after 10 seconds.
- Now Enter another network simcard that's not the same network its locked on to
- Connect phone to iTunes with not accepted (not valid) simcard
- Wait until iTunes detects the phone
- iTunes will display (Congratulations, Your iPhone is now unlocked)
- Phone Unlocked
- just follow the instructions about activating the Iphone.
and iphone is unlocked
NOTE : This is the only FULL LIFE TIME UNLOCK solution for Apple iPhone as the IMEI is registered as UNLOCKED in Apple database.
This solution should be used ONLY THOSE WHO BOUGHT FACTORY UNLOCKED iPHONE 4S.
Your phone will always be unlocked even after each new update of your phone firmware !
All reasons given like bad IMEI series, manufacturing defects etc blah blah are not logical as everything was tested before every sale.

I have a personal itunes account with an iPhone5s and an iPad 4 mini. I have unlokced my old iPhone 4 to use for work on a diffeent SIM and new number, can i have all devices associated to me single appleID and use both numbers ?

I have a personal itunes account with an iPhone5s (perosnal mobile numer) and an iPad 4 mini (no SIMM). I have unlocked my old iPhone 4 to use for work on a different SIM and new number,
Do you know if I can have all devices associated to my single apple ID and still use both numbers without messing up my profile. It has just changed my number over.

I would not be able to give you idiot proof guide, since different games are different. Some of them have icloud integrated already, but those already taken care of. Some of them use specific logins and once you log - you get your info. General recommendation is to contact support sites of those games for enabling icloud instructions or enabling of transfer. There are other purely apple ways - like sync your phone in itunes and then sync apps with ipad, but those are only one time transfer. There is another way that is not typically recommended - restoring ipad from iphone backup. It may transfer your game content, but once again sync in the future has to be done by game.
So if I were you, I would address that individually with every game provider.

I have an AT&T locked phone valid contract for another year. I am planning for India visit for 3 months and I want to unlock my phone to use for my purpose. Apple care can help on this? or AT&T Customer care?

It's not going to happen. Even a cursory reading of the forums would have revealed this fact.
Apple can NOT help you. AT&T WILL NOT help you.
Leave your iPhone at home or in airplane mode while you're in India and buy yourself a cheap disposable phone to use while you're in India. I believe AT&T still has a program where they will put your account "on hold" while you are gone for a small fee.

If you are asking how to unlock an iPhone 5 so it can be used on a
different carrier, you must contact the wireless carrier that the iPhone is
locked to and ask if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If you are asking how to unlock an iPhone that is locked due to entering
wrong password too many times, connect it to the computer you sync with
and use iTunes on that computer to restore the iPhone.
If neither of the above is what you are asking, please give more information
as to what you what to do.
