HT1937 with a serial number can i tell if my iphone is sim free or not?

i bought 2 iphone from some guy and he told me that they are sim free
when i put in the sim back then its showed me that there is a bar of signals, but then i saw that i need to do activition also.
its mean that the iphone is lock or not ? sim free or not?
or the signals dont have any connection to that.
any way what i need to do?

No. You can not tell  by the serial number or the model number. You can call Apple care and they may be able to tell you.
They are most likely a)stolen, b) hacked, c)carrier locked, or d) some combination of these.
What did you think you were going to get buying iPhones from "some guy". You're lucky that he didn't just knock you upside the head with a brick and take your money.

  • I'm having problems with my Serial Number, can anyone help?

    Hey guys.
    Alright, so a few weeks ago I bought a Wacom Bamboo Capture tablet, and it comes with a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0
    Now, I installed it previously and it worked perfectly.
    Then, all of a sudden, I go to boot it up, and I'm asked for my serial... AGAIN.
    Also, it's giving me the whole 'Not valid' error.
    It's irritating the hell out of me.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what the possible problem could be, or how I could possibly fix it?

    Aeverin I would start with removing Photoshop Elements and then reinstalling it.  Also which operating system are you using?  Do you have any other Adobe software installed?

  • How can I tell if my iPhone 5S is unlocked or not?

    I need answers lol......

    Did you buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple? If you did not buy the T-Mobile model from Apple, then you don't have an unlocked phone. Any phone once locked to a cellular provider can only be unlocked by that provider if they are willing and able to do so.

    1 month ago I Downloaded a trial version. Today I have downloaded the program with the serial number, now I'm doing the istallation he asks me the serial number, I put it and he tells me that I need also the serial number of the previous version. How can I find the serial number of the trial version?

    What program, and did you buy the UPGRADE version, or the FULL version?
    Your description indicates that you bought an upgrade version... which requires proof of a previous version to install
    So, if you had A and you bought A+ you need to provide your A serial number during install so A+ knows you are legal

    You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, so if you only had one installation, you still have the option to install on a second without doing anything further than that.  If you originally downloaded the purchase thru Adobe then you might find a download link available in your Adobe account online.  You can also download thru the following page if you can find your version:
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    You can have the first installation deactivated to free up the activation and have it available for another machine again as well.  YOu need to contact Adobe Support thru chat for that.  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • We uninstall photoshop cs6 on PC (creative suite design standard). How can we re-install it with our serial number ?

    After a problem with photoshop cs6 (CTRL+T stopped the application with an error message and closed the window), we uninstall it.
    We can't download photoshop cs6 on the adobe site to re-install it.
    At the moment I am working on photoshop cc evaluation for 1 month.
    What can we do to re-install cs6 with our serial number ?
    Thanks.

    If you did not deactivate the software before uninstalling then you should remember to do that in the future should you decide to uninstall again.  If you contact Adobe support thru chat they can help with deactivating the original installation.

    I also purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro

  • I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these?

    I havev installed a new Hard Drive on my laptop but cannot find my Photoshop Elements product box with the serial number to install Elements 10 or Elememts Premier 10. How can I find out the serial / installation codes for these? I saw a reply however, it was not my name and assumed it was for someone else. Now timed out. Can UI still have help on this matter please?

    If you registered PSE before, go to the main page of adobe.com, sign in and go to your account and you should find the serial number there in your purchases.

  • I bought the Mac version of Premiere Elements, can I get the Windows version for free or cheap with my serial number?

    I bought the Mac version of Premiere Elements, can I get the Windows version for free or cheap with my serial number? I'm about to migrate back to PC soon and I'd love to not have to buy the program again since I just bought it. Under my order history though it only shows it for Mac so I wanted to make sure.

    The boxed packaging is not sold by Adobe direct. If you want to explore that type of purchase which offers the perk of a Windows and a Mac installation disc, you need to purchase from an authorized reseller who is not going to offer you "upgraded pricing". The seller would be its own entity with its own pricing and own return/refund policy. Sometimes the authorized reseller price may be less than the Adobe"upgraded pricing".
    Did you purchase your Premiere Elements 13 Mac from Adobe direct and are within 30 days of purchase? If so, you can contact Adobe Chat Orders to ask for return/refund. And, then you can explore the authorized resellers for pricing and availability of the box packaging. Maybe check out the pricing all around before making any final decisions.
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

    I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13

    I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this.  You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts.  Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.
