HT201328 Hello, my name is Caterina Taverna. I call the telstra online service in Melbourne Australia and asked for my phone to be unlocked. I am now in the USA and have purchased a temporary sim card and cannot activate. Asking for Activation Required.
This is now urgent as I need to have contact with my mother and nan who is very sick.
TJBUSMC1973 is correct. Back up your iPhone and then restore to factory settings. During set up you will be prompted to download and install Network Carrier Settings(this is the unlock).

I have iphone4s in Shanghai, China, but I cannot use it to make a phone outside Shanghai. I have already changeded my SIM card and upgraded the iOS to 5.1 vision. Now can I slove it?
It's not clear what you mean. Do you mean you can't place a call to anyone outside of Shangai? That would be an issue with the calling plan you have with your carrier. Contact them. Likewise, if you can not place a call when you are outside your coverage area, that is also a carrier issue. If you are trying to use a different carrier while travelling, it's possible your phone is carrier locked and you can not use the carrier you are trying to use.

Can I purchase an IPhone 5 that is factory unlocked, so that I can insert my t-mobile sim card and use it on my service from the apple store?
Not in the US, at the present time. Apple has not started selling officially unlocked iPhone 5's in the US, & has not announced when they will.

I have unlocked my iphone and when tried to upgrade it, i got an error, so i restored it.But i was not able to activate my iphone 3gs now...it is showing a message like ' sim card not found'..please help me with this regard
Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.
Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!
Tell me how did you unlock your phone!? -
I have purchased Iphone 4 from US and its not having sim in it and rt now when i have updated this to io5 ,it is showing "sim card inserted in iphone is not supported" and i am not able access aything."
Earlier i was able to use all application in this using IOS 5.0.1.
I have format it and after that i am not able to use it.
How to restore my itunes to 5.0.1???Well, welcome to the world of "hacked" phones. If your purchase was from the US, you obviously purchased an iPhone that is locked to a US carrier. The iPhone must have been jailbroken and unlocked via software to accommodate your foreign SIM card. Now that you have updated the phone, it is locked back to the US carrier. Only the carrier can authorize Apple to unlock the iPhone and none of the US carriers will unlock the iPhones. Best suggestion is to sell the phone and obtain a factory unlocked version directly from the Apple store.
To answer your other question, there is not a supported method to downgrade iOS. -

Apparently, no one pays it... That's why they shut off your service. -

i had changed my sim card and trying to activate my iPhone but can't activate it. its giving me error like your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailble....
temporarily means try later

check your Internet connection
get to know if your iPhone has a netlock (no use with another provider) or even a simlock (no use with another SIM) -
I purchased a used iphone 5 on ebay which a.) had no sim card, and b.) still had a passlock code. tried to activeat the phone via itunesbut as soon as I plugged the phone into the mac, the red and green lights began flashing the the computer then shut down, and will not power back up. Any suggestions??
Return the defective phone to the seller, and hope that it didn't burn out your logic board. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to find out whether it did.
