If your insurance gave you a locked iPhone, then I would start by talking to them and see if they have an unlocked one since your was unlocked. If not, the only place that can help you unlock your phone is the carrier that it's locked to. So you would need to call them.
However, since you are no longer a customer of the company the iPhone is locked to, they will most likely not help you.
You need to contact your current carrier/whoever your insurance is through

HT201269 I want to factory unlock my iphone 5s sprint/virgin phone? How can I do?

I want to factory unlock my iphone 5s sprint/virgin phone? How can I do?

There is no such thing as a Sprint/Virgin phone. It's either a Sprint phone, or a Virgin phone.
If it's a Sprint phone, and you are a Sprint customer in good standing, then contact Sprint. They can unlock it for use on non US carriers.
If it is not a Sprint phone or you do not meet Sprint's conditions for unlocking, or your intent is to use it on a different US carrier, you may as well sell it. Virgin in the US does not offer unlocking.

HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks
This may also help

If I pay the carrier such as Rogers or Telus to unlock my iPhone 4S will it be permanent?

I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4S with 5 months remaining on the 1 year warranty (not eligible for Apple Care). Buying used while everyone is upgrading to the new 5 allows me to buy into this market - already have a Mac Book - sadly, can't afford all the luxes brand new.
The phone is with Rogers but I would like to stick with Bell and if I pay Rogers the fee to unlock my iPhone (no longer under contract) will it be permanent? Do they inform Apple that my iPhone should be added to the Apple Registry.
I am asking this because while I was in Jump-Plus one of the staff said that if I accept the new ios 6 Update before I have my phone unlocked then I might have to go back and pay again to have it unlocked. Also, that the Carrier may not be able to unlock the 4S with th ios6 update. What is if any of this info is correct?
With my work I do a fair bit of travelling including overseas and I would like to have the phone unlocked for this purpose as well as to keep my old number with Bell. Not interested in contracts. I know that I could use a third party app to unlock my phone but I would want to wait until the warranty has run out in Feb 2013. Through some of my reading, it appears that I might have to do the unlock procedure everytime there is a new major software updateWhat are some pros and cons to these kind of apps?
Any feedback, suggestions, out their in th apple community would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you for your time.

Thank-you for clarifying third party and for pointing out the potential problems.
i will either have my phone unlocked by the carrier or get my phone service from them. switching carriers is not essential.
Thanks agin.
Cheers!

How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock?

How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck. Ive tried recovery mode and nothing still restores and asks me the same thing. Been working on this forever- Please Help!

If you want to risk your money, fine.
To answer your questions
Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
Or what about replacing the motherboard?
There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone.

How do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

So I am planning on getting an unlocked verizon iPhone 5s but the thing is my carrier is AT&T. So how do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

If you plan on using AT&T, why on earth would you purchase a Verizon iPhone? Doesn't make any sense. Yea, it will work on AT&T's network, but you won't get LTE, only 3G. LTE requires using a Verizon sim.
This is an extremely poor idea. Purchaase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, if you want to use AT&T's network.

How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint. The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

There is no such thing as an unlock code. Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.
iPhone: About unlocking

I unlocked my iPhone 3S last October and now I did an reset . Can be this lock agai? Because I'm trying to use it and I can't !

I unlocked my iPhone and after a couple of months I did reset. Now I want to use it and I can't . What could happened? It is locked again after my reset ?

How did you do the unlock? If you didn't contact the cell carrier to whom the iPhone was locked and arrange for an official unlocking, then your iPhone was hacked to unlock it and if you restored or upgraded iOS on the iPhone, the unlock has now been removed and the iPhone locked back to the original carrier. Only the carrier can authorize official unlocking.

I wanted to know how to unlock my iphone, since I had to restore it and when it restarted, it appeared this message: "The SIM card que you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported under the Currently actuvation policy that is assigned by the server activion. this is not a hardware issue with the iPhone.

I need help, I use my phone for everything enclusive to work. I appreciate if you can help. I'm from Brazil. My name and giullia.

Did you purchase this device from Apple or an authorized reseller? It sounds as if you had a device that was jailbroken/hacked to operate on your carrier. Upon updating the iOS, it is now locked back to the original carrier the device was locked to.
Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. You will need to make contact with that carrier and see if they provide unlocking services, and if they do, if you qualify for an unlock. Otherwise, you are out of luck. One that carrier can take care of the unlocking.

I am trying to unlock my iphone from Orange to "3".

I have requested the neccessary details from Orange. And paid for it.
I have followed the instructions but the phone will NOT activate either by phone itself or iTunes.
I have tried it with an Orange card in and also a 3 card.
Its pathetic that something is made so difficult to do.
I need help with this as it is driving me mad.
I have also looked all over the internet and this is a very common probem
Help please

Did you follow the steps exactly in the email you got from Orange
to unlock the iPhone? At the end of those steps, did iTunes give you
the message 'Congratulations. Your iPhone is now unlocked''?
If you did not get that message, your iPhone is still locked and only
Orange can resolve the matter.
If you did get that message before the update, repeat all the steps again
to see if it will unlock now - you may have to do this multiple times for
it to work.
What does it say when you look at Settings=?General=>About=>Carrier?

I have recently unlocked my iPhone 4. I got the comforation saying it was unlocked. For some reason I cannot access my network settings? Any suggestions. I am trying to use the phone on Net 10 network.

I recently unlocked my iphone 4. I am trying to use it on Net 10's network. However, i cannot access the network settings. I have the Net10 Sim already in it. A few notes listed below of what i have tried:
1.) I downloaded the iphone configuation utility. But cannot get the right settings to apply. (so if you have the correct ones i could use those)
2.) i have watched 1000 youtube videos and been on practically every page online and tried 1000 different versions of APN settings through the configuration
3.) I do not have another SIM card from another carrier to try.
Open to suggestions on how i can get the APN settings to change. Not worried about picture messaging or anything, but would like my internet to work. Calls and text work fine.

i have seen this option..problem being...i dont have access to WIFI i live in the middle of ten buck too! We cant even get internet out here i have to go a friend house to get internet. I was going to try that once i did get to town but was looking for other options here at home frist.

HT1937 i unlocked my iphone 4 factory and i upgrade to 6.1 when i connect it to itunes it apears The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please

i unlocked my iphone 4 factory and i upgrade to 6.1 when i connect it to itunes it apears
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.

It sounds like you or someone else hacked the phone to unlock it. Updating it locked it to the original carrier.
How did you unlock it? The ONLY legitimate way is to ask the carrier it is locked to to unlock it. Any other way requires hacking or jailbreaking the phone.

How do I unlock an iPhone 4 without performing a backup?

AT&T has given me permission to unlock an iPhone 4 and has provided these steps:
Thank you for contacting AT&T Customer Care about unlocking your AT&T Mobile device.
We have reviewed your request and confirmed that the device may be unlocked.
Please allow 24 hours upon receipt of this notification to complete the unlock process.
To complete the unlock, simply
1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have Internet connectivity.
2. Ensure a SIM card is inserted into your iPhone.
3. Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
4. Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes. For information on backup and restore, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
5. After restoring, your iPhone will be unlocked.
My issue is that I don't want the data, apps, settings, etc. of the previous user of the iPhone 4, so I don't want to perform a backup. However, in step 4 it states I have to backup and restore the iPhone and only after restoring it will the iPhone be unlocked. Is it possible to unlock the iPhone by just performing the restore without having first done a backup, or is the backup a crucial part of the process to unlock the iPhone?
Thanks for your assistance!

The iPhone 3G backup and iPhone 4 backup (if you create one) would be saved using different file names. To see both, you could open Preferences from iTunes' menu on your computer, then select the "Devices" tab.
You ask if you still have to back up the iPhone 4 first. If you can erase it first, then its backup would contain virtually nothing. Whether you can erase it or not, its contents would be irrelevant. See if the process allows you not to back it up. If it does, great. If not, no harm would be done. By the way, you can delete this useless iPhone 4 backup from the same tab in iTunes Preferences.
