I am looking for factory unlocked iPhone 5; how do I get one? Are all those that are bought online factory unlocked?

  • Recommend a (USA) micro SIM card for a factory-unlocked iPhone 4s?

    Could be a simple question but I can't find the answer: I bought a factory-unlocked iPhone 4s (from Apple)  for use while traveling abroad (mainly China). I already have a Chinese SIM card to use while I'm China.  I just got the iPhone delivered to me in the US and I want to get it set up and tested before I travel back to China.
    But I'm a little confused about where I can get a micro SIM card in the US  to pop into the phone for a couple of days just to get it set up and running (I don't need a lot of time on the card).
    Can I just pop into any AT&T or T-mobile store and pick up a micro-SIM card that will work?

    Hi, thanks for your answer. I just got off the phone trying to clarify this with AT&T. They tell me that they also have something called a "Go" card that I can get for my (factory-unlocked) iPhone that works without a plan. But, as you pointed out regarding the T-mobile card, it sounds as if I don't get full service on the iPhone. They told me that I won't be ablet to browse the web via the card, only when I'm connected via Wi Fi.
    I am headed out to try to find a card today and will update this thread with any further discoveries.

  • If I add artwork by dragging a jpg to the artwork area after selecting several rows, in some instances a single icon is created in the flipper;  in others one is created for each song. Why? How can I get one image per album every time?

  • I have an apple ID for the South African iTunes store how do I get one for the US store?, I have an apple ID for the South African iTunes store how do I get one for the US store?

    I have an apple ID for the South african i Tunes store.  How do I get one for the US one?  I want to use Mind Snacks.

    You will need a valid billing address in the US and be in the US when you want to buy anything from it. You can try requesting that it be added to the South African, but ultimately it's the app's developer that will have to grant Apple a licence to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Activation and WI-FI Problems for new Factory Unlocked iphone 3GS

    I live in Tanzania and just purchased an unlocked 3GS iphone directly from Apple. I have put in my SIM and it doesn't seem to work...the phone wants me to first to activate it, which requires a WI-FI network. I have tried to log into my home WI-FI network, however, unsuccessfully. I was prompted for a password to access my network, which I provided, however, then I need to provide a username and password to my internet provider...something the iphone doesn't allow me to do. So, two questions:
    1) Can I by-pass activation and just use the iphone as the mobile phone I need it to be and;
    2) If not, how can I complete my WI-FI log in if not provided the opportunity to do so?

    You should be able to activate the phone through iTunes, have you tried that?

  • I hard reset my ipad but it's now looking for activation. Why? And how can I get around it?

    It's just suddenly saying ACTIVATION REQUIRED.
    It's been a few weeks since I backed up so I'm somewhat nervous.
    Help please. Anyone?

    Sorry the news isn't better. I have to say I've not heard of it losing information from doing a reset - holding down the Sleep & Home buttons together until the Apple logo appears - I'm assuming this may be a result of the initial crash where the iPad froze.
    If you backup to iCloud there is a very good chance your data will be backed up, or if you've backed up to iTunes a backup will be there but what will be present is dependant on how long ago it was backed up and what data has been added since this backup.

  • HT4759 Why don't i have an icon in my icloud for itunes and how do i get one?

    Why ndon't I have an icon for itunes in my icloud and how do I get one?

    If you mean iTunes in the Cloud, this is totally separate from your iCloud account.  There isn't an iCloud, but it allows you to download certain previously purchased media from the iTunes and App stores, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

  • HT201328 Help to unlock a factory-unlocked Iphone 4

    More than a year ago, I purchased in the USA a factory-unlocked Iphone 4 for use in Brazil. Recently it was updated the to v5.0.1, and now the unlock is gone. I've tried everything - backing up and restoring, reactivating, all - and nothing works. It is not a jailbroken device, and there is no AT&T here in Brazil.
    Also, I do not own the receipt anymore and american AT&T asks me that to confirm the unlock. What should I do?
    Thanks!

    Actually, I paid the full factory-unlock price at the purchase (US$ ~600 + tax) on a BestBuy store. It was either NY or Orlando, I can't really remember which city I was at the time. So it was unlocked and worked for a while, until it was updated a couple months ago.
    I'm thinking of taking it back with me to the US on my next trip there by the end of the year and going to an AT&T store, but until then it seems there is nothing I can do to make it work!
    Anyway, I checked another thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15915713#15915713) and it looks like the same situation. I think I'll give it one more try to unlock it on Itunes, but if that doesn't work I'm out of ideas.
    Tks for the reply!

  • Where can I buy a factory unlocked iphone 5 in the UK? For how much if 16GB? Do I get a one year warranty?

    Where can I buy a factory unlocked iphone 5 in the UK? For how much if 16GB? Do I get a one year warranty?

    I am not fromUK, but it happens that I'll be visiting UK in a couple of days( to Harrow) and would like to know if I can purchase it from stores other than from the apple for about the same price.

    hello..i have purchaes iphone 5 from u.s it's a factory unlocked iphone 5 ..on may14th..it has warranty till may14th of 2014..and i came idia on july and after using the phone for 1moh in india ,when i'm trying to restore it doesn't shows apple iphone menu..it displays the screen image of connect usb cable to restore itunes .and i tried  times and it shows the error (-1)..when i have contacted apple the said bring the phone to us we will replace it with new one....now i can't go to u.s so please kindly help me..as soon as possible...please

    EDIT 2: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen message saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a method for restoring it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes (connect the phone to computer, turn it off, hold both Home and Power buttons until the Apple logo disappears, release the Power button without releasing Home button, iTunes shows a message about an iPhone in restoring mode, restore, etc.). Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…
    Please, help

  • Looking for a reputable unlock company

    My son has an iPhone 4s which was through Verizon and now we have switched providers and he cannot use his phone. I'm looking for a reputable unlock company. I also am curious if this will work going from CDMA to gsm?
    Thank you

    Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can unlock it.  Anything else is hacking or jailbreaking and voids ALL support from Apple.
    The CDMA cannot convert to GSM.  To unlock the CDMA radio means flashing the firmware and can only be flashed to another carrier.
    Talk to Verizon about unlocking the iPhone 4S and the GSM side of that iPhone.

  • How do I activate factory unlocked iphone 5 for  first time

    How do I activate factory unlocked iphone 5 for  first time?Should i connect to itunes?Or should I put the sim first and then ON the device?Pls help me

    Yes.
    Insert the SIM card and power the iPhone on to find out. Nothing bad can happen if you can't and if you can't for some reason, connect the iPhone to iTunes.
