HT1267 How do I request to have my iphone 4 unlocked
Trying to see how to get my wife's iPhone4 unlocked. We purchased the unit from the Globe store in the Philippines and had always used pre-paid. We are now in Bahrain and are unable to use it w/ the current carrier?
As SJF said, only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can unlock it, and according to the information published by Apple, Globe does not offer unlocking. You can contact Globe and ask, but it does not look to be likely that you can get the iPhone unlocked. You may need to sell your iPhone to someone in the Philippines and buy a new iPhone in Bahrain.
Regards.

How can I check in Itunes if Iphone is unlocked without simcard
How can I check in Itunes if Iphone is unlocked without simcard, it is locked to AT&T and they confirmed they will unlock it... prevoiusly when I use to connect Itunes says something like this "Invalid sim" and it doesnt let me sync my phone which is not the case today, as it allows me to sync and let me show all details on the summary page and phone number is n/a
Is this unlocked ? can you adviceGo to http://iphoneoperatorcheck.com/ and enter your IMEI number (SN works fine) and it will tell you the lock status.
Note the following with regard to the above;
1) A locked phone will show as unlocked until activated after which the status will change to locked if the phone is locked to a carrier.
2) Say for instance that the phone was originally locked to AT&T and you requested an unlock though AT&T. If your phone is unlocked by Apple following a request through AT&T, the status will continue to show as Locked to AT&T until you connect the phone to iTunes and do an update after which the status will show as unlocked. The status changes are almost real time. -
I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile. For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day. It can't find tmobile on my phone for some reason but for 2 years previous it could no problem? tmobile says it is a problem with my phone and not their service.
Any ideas what to do?I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process. Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone. Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process. -
I have an iPhone 4s that is no longer active on my account. I recently upgraded it after completing a 2-year contract. Is it still possible for me to have the iPhone 4s unlocked even though it is no longer active on my account?
Great question missmar23. You can contact our Global Support department at 1-800-711-8300 to discuss the details for your device.

I have an iPhone 5 unlocked. I have been using it for few weeks but 4 days ago I turned it off and in the morning it had NoService. Called tmobile and apple costumer services no one helped. Did any one had this issue
If you got the Unlocked message it means it was successfully unlocked by AT&T. Apple will not relock or block it. They have no objections to it being used on T-Mobile. It is still under warrantee. Take to an Apple store. They can test it with a SIM from AT&T. If that doesn't work have them replace the phone. Have them verify that the new phone is unlocked. If it does work with the AT&T card then it is a T_Mobile problem.

I have an iphone 4s unlocked with att prepaid plan (non-contract), everything was working perfect BUT since i update to IOS6 i can not send MMS to anybody has Android, i went to att technical center they said only apple store can fix the problem, i went to Apple store MANY times they could not fix it, so they gave me a new iphone 4s and they said they fixed it but they did not,iam so mad that's not fair, can somebody help me please.
The nice thing about owning this overpriced POS is that Apple not only doesn't support it, but also doesn't want to hear about anything negative regarding it. So I spoke to the so-called "support" people at Apple who successfully screwed up my contacts beyond repair. I got a nice email from Apple asking me to rate the support I got. I was actually civil and described the issue tactfully. What do I get in return? Nothing. Not a damned thing!! You're luck you've got me by the short hairs on a 2 year contract but I'm still tempted to throw this POS through the front window of the nearest Apple store!! Not only will I be replacing this phone with a competitive product but I won't be buying anymore Apple crap. I guess when you con 27 million people into believing your rhetoric and sales lies, you don't have to care whether some customers get screwed or not. I'll be going back to Verizon and threatening legal action if they don't take this electronic dung heap back but I'm sure the teams of lawyers Apple and Verizon have on staff have insured that I have no rights in this matter and you're free to screw me anytime you please. Sad. I used to love Apple as a company and your products. Now you're just another Microsoft with more trendy looking junk. I've had it with you. If any of your executives are brave enough to talk to me, please contact me at your convenience.

I have an iPhone 5 unlocked but cannot get a payg nano sim for Vodafone uk. Any suggestions ?
If Vodafone does not provide a nano-SIM card, there are no suggestions. Not only is the nano-SIM card smaller, it is also thinner, so cutting a micro-SIM card down to size wouldn't be enough to fit.

How do you find out where you iPhone is if you don't have find my iPhone on it ?
When looking under the car seats, use a flashlight. I've known a lot of people who thought their phones were gone for good but really, they were waaaaaay under the car seat.

Look at the receipt, search your memory.
If you paid with a credit/debit card, look at your statements.
Are you really that dumb? or did you intend to ask a different question? -

My iPhone 4s screen got broke. Can you tell me how can I get it replace in India? If not in India can you tell me what is the procedure to get it replace the broken screen?
If you purchased it in India, take it to the store where you purchased it from. If you purchased it elsewhere, you will have to take it back to the country of origin or send it to someone you know there to have it replaced. An out of warranty replacement is US$199.

If it was unlocked by anyone other than the carrier it was originally locked to, it was hacked. You can not get help for your hacked phone here.
