HT1937 Unlock phone

I am trying to change carriers. I have not been able to unlock my phone. I contacted my carrier (AT&T) and I was told the IMEI number was not found. How do I go about unlocking my phone so that I can change carriers.

Only the carrier that the phone is currently locked to can unlock a phone. You'll have to contact them. If ATT doesn't have a record of the imei number, then it must have been under some other carrier. Where did you buy the phone?

Hi I bought a factory unlocked phone from Dubai but I'm using it in india. But it still doesn't have FaceTime option in settings . is there a way to get FaceTime on my phone without jail breaking .. Pla help guys

Bought my iPhone 4 from Dubai even though it's a factory unlocked phone I don't have a FaceTime button in setting so I'm wondering is there anyway I can get the FaceTime with out jail breaking my device it's working on iOS 4.3.5 , I read so much about getting it after u jailbreak Ur phone u get FaceTime but can I get it with out jail breaking my device as I'm using it in india please reply guys

iPhones purchased in the UAE do not have FaceTime installed and FaceTime will not appear regardless of where the phone is taken.
Jailbreaking will void your warranty with Apple, may permanently render your phone unusuable, and will eliminate the possibility of getting help from Apple or its forums including this one.
If you want FaceTime on an iPhone, sell that phone and purchase one from one of the authorized iPhone dealers in India.

I have an iphone 5 that was originally with verizon but has been unlocked now by them and the phone is still under the apple warranty, if I go to replace for power button malfunctioning, will they give replace it with an unlocked phone as well?

I currently have an iphone 5 that was verizon locked but has been unlocked by them because of my contract, the phone is still under the apple warranty but the power button is not working, if it was the case that apple has to replace it with another phone, will they replace with an unlocked phone now?
thanks

The SIM Lock is stored on the Apple Activation Server - if it has been correctly unlocked by a network then this would have been done on the Activation Server.
When you get your replacement handset through Apple they mirror the activation server details of your existing handset and the current SIM LOCK status is mirror'd onto the new device.
(100% Accurate - done mine 2 weeks before christmas due to original 5 sleep button stopped working)

I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported

I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported, Isk this of both 02 and apple, who's phone is this and what right do you have to lock a previously unlocked phone? very angry

Where did you get these phones?
These and other forums are full of people with iPhone unlocking problems - the net result is that, as others have said, is:
If you bought them from Apple they will be (and stay) unlocked.
If you bought them PAYG from CPW then they will lock to the first SIM activated.
Any other contract or PAYG phone iPhone bought from the networks WILL be locked by them too.
However, all is not lost. The original purchaser can request for the phones to be unlocked by Apple, via the carrier. The carriers usually charge around £20 to do this, or gratis if you're out of contract.
You are the original purchaser, right? If not, you need to get in touch with that person and pray they'll help you out.

I bought the company unlocked phone from apple store Canada. It was originally loaded with software 4.2 and was working fine here in SaudiArabia. Yesterday I updated with IOS 5.0.1. Now it is showing that sim is not valid. The same sim works in other p

I bought the company unlocked phone from apple store Canada. It was originally loaded with software 4.2 and was working fine here in SaudiArabia. Yesterday I updated with IOS 5.0.1. Now it is showing that sim is not valid. The same sim works fine in other phones.

Here's and update on my problems and here are are some screen shots of the types of problems I've been having since the v5.0.1 update. Keep in mind these are native apps and I have tried the rebuild phone crap many times, nothing helps.
This is screen shot of a what happened when I tried to use my camera one day, both the front and back cameras were all black. I had to power cycle the phone to get rid of this problem. The cameras appeared to be working correctly, I could focus and zoom but it was all black.
Here is an image of what happened when I searched for something in a map. This is after I picked the choice I wanted, the keyboard disappeared but the list didn't. I had to force close the app and restart it for this problem to go away. Who knew five bars on ATT was possible.
And finally this is the messaging app, although you would not know it. I had to return to home screen (after a long pause for it to process the button push) and return to the messaging app. This happens all the time with the messaging app and the notifications sounds drive me crazy. If i'm using the phone, say browsing the web and I get an incoming message its almost 100% of the time the messaging app will screw up. The sound will play at the wrong time or not at all, message will show up in notifications and diasapear in message app or Ill have a problem like this:

HT201328 If my carrier unlocked my iPhone and it needs to be replaced under warranty. Do apple sends an unlocked phone.

If my carrier unlocked my iPhone and it needs to be replaced under warranty. Do apple sends an unlocked phone. Or I have to get it unlocked again from carrier.

Once Carrier unlocks any iPhone, this is entered in to Apples data base. Therefore, as replacement under warranty you get unlocked iPhone.

Hi, I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. Any solutions??

Hi,
I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. I have a 3G plan but most of the time it switches automatically to EDGE. Thats when i have to either switch Airplane mode - On/Off and then it acts normal. Any permanant solutions to fix this problem?

Return the iPhone personally or via friend/relative/co-worker who is in
the US. The warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase - the USA
in this case. Apple will not accept international shipments for evaluation nor
will Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
How did the iPhone from the US get to you in India? Reverse that process to
get it back to the US so someone can take it into Apple.

I am thinking to buy an Iphone 4s from USA. So I just want to know if I buy an unlocked phone will I able to use it in India with vodafone network. Can u also suggest where to buy the unlocked iphone 4s in USA.

After updating settings, I have to enter a passcode to unlock phone. The number I wrote down doesn't work

I updated the settings on my Iphone (suggested as possible way to make photo cube work). Now I have to put in a passcode to unlock phone. I only use one passcode but it doesn't work. Where do I look to find the passcode I should enter?

Using three fingers, double-tap the screen.

Is this true? AT&T is interfering with Nexus unlocked phones updates?

I don't currently own the Nexus 6, but this is unacceptable if true, is AT&T really blocking updates for unlocked Nexus 6 phones? Source:http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/21/psa-if-your-nexus-6-has-an-att-sim-card-your-android-updates-are-being-withheld-but-it-doesnt-actually-matter/

Unlocked phones will not receive the update unless they are on the proper network, hence, once you put the t-mobile sim in the phone it updated.
You will probably never get updates on the AT&T system as it is not an AT&T phone.
Not true with the nexus line of phones.... ATT is blocking the OTA to non ATT nexus 6 devices. Once the update clears ATT testing even those who bought a nexus 6 from moto or google get the update. Nexus phones have always got OTA updates this is just the first time ATT sold a nexus. THERE IS NO PROPER NETWORK FOR A NEXUS DEVICE. THE SKU IS THE SAME EVERY PLACE THE PHONE IS SOLD IN THE US. THEY ONLY MADE ONE MODEL.

Does anyone have an idea as to when the 5S (Factory Unlocked) phone will be available?
