I want to temporarily unlock my iPhone for use in Spain. How do I find a compatible SIM from supported carrier?
No such status
AT&T will either unlock your iPhone or not
there is ......
A carrier locked iPhone
A non carrier locked iPhone (known as unlocked) ,nothing in between
Until AT&T agree to unlock your iPhone you can ONLY use your existing sim -

It has NEVER been possible to purchase an unlocked iPhone 3G in the US. Your phone was hacked. Updating it has re-locked it to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.
The phone is now useless to you. There is no legitimate way to fix this. Buy a new phone. Preferably in India. -

Can I use a sim from another carrier while in Europe or Canada to enjoy local rates and avoid roaming charges?
If your phone is officially unlocked, yes. Otherwise, no.

Contact your chosen cellular provider to obtain a compatible SIM card.

If the new SIM is working, and I backed up the Iphone-4, why do I need to to RESET and Restore, as mentioned in the "About Unlocking" instruction?
I think you haven't told us the whole story. If the phone was working on multiple carriers before it was officially unlocked it was hacked to do so. If it wasn't, and you haven't seen the message "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked" then you must still Restore iOS on it to get this message.

I'm trying to use an iphone 3 with t-mobile plan, itune say the phone is unlocked however i can't get a signal with the new sims card
How is iTunes telling you it is unlocked? Did you go through an unlock procedure with your cell company and then Restore it in iTunes?

I upgraded my 3gs to the iOS5 software, but it keeps telling me on my iphone and my itunes that it cannot activate my iphone! Then my iTunes said there is no SIM card installed. HELP! I can't seem to even restore, which is what I was told to do by the Apple Store.
Hi there,
if your phone has ever been replaced by Apple (within or outside of warranty), have Apple check their records to which carrier your iPhone (its IMEI number) is currently locked to.
If it is locked to any other than the carrier you have your SIM-card from, ask the folks at Apple to have your phone's lock adjusted to your carrier. Once that is done, there is a good chance that your phone will work again.
Hope this helps,

I am from Brazil, and i have an iphone 5. Since it was purchased the 3G/4G data signal doesn't work. I made contact with people in Apple from Brazil and they told me I had to ask for your support to unlock the 3G/4G data signal. How do I have to proceed to unlock this feature in my iphone?
I would appreciate if you can help me.
Thanks!Greetings alex.bonifacio! I'm very sorry that you're having connection problems with your iPhone 5. While would love to help in any way I can, the device must at least be on an active line of service with Verizon Wireless in order for me to be able to make any changes. I must therefore urge you to contact your local wireless carrier for your equipment options. Good luck and thanks!

I would like to know if "Restore Backup" to my new phone will load up all the information I have which backed up from my other phone. I only "clicked" on "Backup" when I connected the new phone to my computer. I was afraid to click on "Restore Backup" to have all the other information I had from my other iPhone load up to my new iPhone. Hope you can help. What is the difference between "Backup" and "Restore Backup"; is all that different from synching.Thanks. Ana
That's up to you. Do you want the data on your old phone on your new phone? If so, you follow the directions here:

If you want to setup your new phone as a new device, then there is nothing you need to do. -
After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music screen?
Well, it's certainly behaving as though the phone that was backed up was synced to a different iTunes library.
I'm going to throw one more thing out there... Yes, you backed it up to this computer... Was the phone previously set up to sync with this computer? Or was it syncing with a different computer and you just backed it up to this one?
You may have to end up setting it up as a new device and rebuilding the phone by manually re-syncing your data, apps, music, etc. to the phone.
Trying to keep your library on a different drive can be tricky. If iTunes starts up and the library isn't available, it may end up generating a new library ID, meaning that you could easily find yourself in exactly the position you're in now...
I'm curious why there was a need to restore your phone to begin with... It may not have any bearing on this at all, but it could. -
ive unlocked my iphone4 to give it to some one as i upgraded to the 4s but the 4 wont take the new sim or my own sim. keeps saying no service??
Did you get it officially unlocked by going through the phone carrier? If not, that means you hacked or jailbroke your phone and we cannot offer help for a jailbroken phone.

I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan
You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source. -
I am planning to buy ipad 2 wifi 3g verizon carrier, will be taking it to india need to know if the same can be used with the local providers there or would the ipad be locked and restricted only to verizon
I'm fairly sure the Verizon CDMA iPad 2 had no GSM sim slot. So it won't work with any other carrier except Verizon.
As far as the AT&T version goes, it should technically work but will not support 4G/LTE cellular bands.
Given iPad 2's are no longer being sold, I doubt any that could be bought would have a warranty still. Or have at most very little of it left.
Why an iPad 2? its now 3 generations behind the current one.
Perhaps an iPad 4 would be a better choice.
