HT201328 Can an apple store unlock my iphone?

I have a Sprint iPhone4s and a T-Mobile sim card. Can apple unlock my Sprint iPhone4s so i can use it in t-mobile?

No they cannot. Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. Also, even if you got the device unlocked, it will not work with another domestic carrier in the US. That would only unlock the SIM side for international carriers.

Can an Apple store unlock an iPhone 4S?

We have purchased a second hand iPhone 4s for our daughter and I have been told that the local store (UK) can unlock from Orange, is this right (as my local store is over an hours drive away and I have no other reason to travel there)
I could contact the original carrier but internet postings indicate they are a complete nightmare to get an unlock code from and as we want her to have this as a christmas present, it will effectively be a pretty flashlight and no more!
Any constructive advice is greatly received. Thank you.

No. Apple does not unlock phones and there is no unlock code. Only the carrier to which the phone is locked to can authorize the unlock, so contact them.

If anyone knows and can tell me that would be great

No. Apple doesn't lock them. Carriers do. Conversely, only carries can unlock them.

Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, Need to Restore Your Device: Alternative Solutions
A
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2.Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
3. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
           1. iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
           2. About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
If none of the above work for you, then:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Can an apple store unlock my phone

My son forgot his password and has disabled his phone. The only computer we have that has iTunes on it is with my daughter at college. Can an apple store unlock his phone?

Yep.
You need iTunes 11.1 or higher. Then follow the directions here to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If you want, you can also use this computer to login to iCloud.com, locate the phone, then erase it. This will also remove the passcode.

Can the Apple store unlock my passcode for me for my iPhone?? HELP.

I changed my passcode on my iPhone 4 (I don't know if it is CDMA or GSM) and now can’t remember it and after multiple attempts to guess it I have been locked out of my phone (and the phone says “iPhone disabled. Connect to iTunes”). I know how to restore my phone by going through iTunes, however since I did not back it up for many, many months now, I do not want to lose all of my data. When I try to connect it to iTunes it says that my phone cannot connect to iTunes because my phone needs to be unlocked first….I cannot unlock my phone because not only do I not know the passcode, but the keypad to enter in the passcode is no longer visible because the phone has been disabled….therefore since I cannot connect to iTunes I cannot back up my device before I restore it. I know how to restore it, yes, but the issue is not wanting to lose my data because of it since I can't back it up.
My question is: if I bring my iPhone into an Apple store will they be able to either unlock my passcode for me (provided I have identification of ownership i.e. account number and verification) or will they be able to back up my data (then restore it and then put my data back onto my phone)? PLEASE HELP!!!!

It sound like are asking about simply passcode unlocking, not carrier unlocking.
If you have forgotten your passcode, then you will need to restore and you will lose everything that you have failed to store on your computer.
Apple, nor your carrier can do anything about this.
Sorry.

Only the carrier your phone is currently locked to can authorize an unlock. Apple can NOT do that.

Apple Store unlock foreign iPhones?

I am an English guy currently living in Mexico and my friend from Canada brought me back an iPhone 4s from Canada because its about 5000 pesos (550 USD) less than here and easier to purchase (I recently wrote a post on how hard it was to get an iPhone here - stores do not stock them and the banks don't accept most kinds of bank payment, only very few) but it is not fully unlocked. Since it is locked to Canadian carriers (or one specific, I assume, i'm not sure as I won't have the phone in my hands until tomorrow) will the iStore unlock it for me to be able to use here? If they don't it isn't too much of an issue as I can get it unlocked via a less legitimate means but I'd rather do so officially.
Thanks,
D

Apple will not unlock an iphone for anyone at all, anywhere.
ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it no one else.
Contact the Canadian carrier and ask them if they offer this service.

Can Apple Store unlock my Iphone 4 so that it works with T-Mobile service

Can I get my Iphone 4 unlocked from ATT service to use with T-Mobile service?

Obviously that answer is now out-of-date.
I was simply trying to help someone. What value did your responses provide to the actual question asked?
Seems like you are both responding with nit picky comments because this forum is probably your entire life and you love to argue the infinite details of why anyone can post on a PUBLIC forum without being picked apart by uber nerds.
ANY response to THIS post will certainly prove it.
