Warranty and Unlocking... AFAIK... are not related.
It is more likely your Contract with Orange that is getting in the way... in the sense that Orange are not Unlocking the phone.
You can try to contact Apple about this... but Orange control the unlocking.

  • Orange Unlocked iPhone 1.1.3 - No Problems.

    Just upgraded my legally unlocked Orange unit.
    No problems, device took the update rebooted.
    iTunes told me it needed the new version to activate my phone.
    Downloaded the new iTunes, installed it, removed the iPhone from the cradle and reinserted it, got iTunes page saying "Congratulations, your iPhone is now unlocked".
    Device seems to be working fine, haven't checked for bugs or glitches yet.
    Tried the auto-locate in Maps. Decided I was in Brussels. Which was 506km away.
    Ho Hum.

  • HT201328 My unlocked iPhone 4 shows "No Service" and after airplane mode turned on and off, shows "Invalid SIM"

    I recently bought two iPhone 4 phones from my colleague in USA. He unlocked these phones from AT&T. But I did not test it. However, now that I am back to India, and inserted my Indian Vodafone SIM car, the phone shows "No Service" and if turn AirPlane mode ON and then OFF, a message comes as "SIM Failure", and the top left corner shows, "Invalid SIM".
    Now, how do I confirm whether my colleague was successfully able to unlock these phones ?
    What are the steps to make my Indian Vodafone SIM work ?
    Any support appreciated.

    Hello there Vicky,
    Here is a great article for troubleshooting the Cellular connection on your phone. From article iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3780:
    Follow the instructions below for assistance with troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Ensure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
    Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
    Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrier to report the issue.
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restore the iPhone as new.
    Contact your carrier to:
    Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
    Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
    Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
    In order to verify if the phones have been unlocked, the original carrier for them would have to be called.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I have been informed by Orange (UK) that Apple have 'changed their rules' with regards to unlocking iPhones, and that it will take 6 months to process. Is this correct?

    Complete rubbish
    Apple do not lock iPhones
    Carriers do because they have subsidised the purchase price
    and therefore only the carrier can unlock an iPhone
    Orange have decided to apply 6 months to protect their revenue
    they never have been the fastest to unlock

  • Hi. If i buy an unlocked iphone from canada. Will i be able to use it in Mauritius Island on network Orange?

    Hi,
    I live in Mauritius Island. My brother wants to send me an unlocked iphone 5s from CANADA as a gift, but i am unsure if i wil be able to use it here. Can you help? We use Orange here.

    Not sure that they are selling unlocked phones in Canada.  Mostly, the Canadian phones are carrier locked and the Canadian carrier do not offer unlocking, with Bell being the main one.
    It might work, but this would only be on 3G because you have to remember the frequency differences and phones built in Canada were designed to work in Canada with the Canadian carriers/networks.
    Also be aware that warranty for the iPhone is not international, so if anything goes wrong with the phone and you need help, you'll have to physically go back to Canada or post the phone back to your brother in Canada, but not directly to Apple.

  • HT201328 I just bought an unlocked iphone 5s, 32 GB, and it came with an AT&T sim card. Is that normal?

    I just bought an unlocked iphone 5s, 32GB, and turns out it came with an AT&T sim in it. Is that normal?

    Certainly sounds that way, with the fact that there was an ATT card included, and your chosen cell provider SIM doesn't work.

  • HT201328 I am looking for a factory unlocked iPhone 5; how do I get one?

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

  • HT201328 Does buying an unlocked iphone from apple disable some features

    I am currently looking to get an iphone5 and saw Apple sells unlocked iphones.  I currently have an iphone4 that was an At&t phone but I had them unlock it when my contract expired.  I switched over to Straighttalk and it doesnt allow my MMS features to work on their plan.  Ive tried to switch the MMS settings but nothing worked.  If I was to buy an iphone5 would it work on any system with different sim cards and if I had to change the settings would  I be able to restore them to the way it was when i purchased it in case certain things dont work.  Please help

    Yes. The T-Mobile nanoSIM which came with the  full price, unlocked iPhone 5 will work for a prepaid plan. However, neither Apple retail store employees nor the T-Mobile customer svc reps know this. It was quite an ordeal to activate. I had to order the prepaid activation kit online, wait for its arrival by snail mail, then use the activation code from the kit with the nanoSIM to activate the prepaid monthly plan $30/mon for 100 min+ unlim text + 5 GB 4G/LTE. I live in Pasadena, CA, and the 4G and LTE coverage here is extensive and reliable.
    I tossed the SIM which came with the activation kit.
    My local T-Mobile retail store wouldn't sell me a prepaid activation kit when I told them that I wanted the web-only $30/mon plan. The customer svc reps couldn't or wouldn't give me an activation code to use either.

  • HT201328 Can I buy and unlocked iPhone 5?

    I have searched the Apple site for the buy an unlocked iPhone like that was there before the 5 was released and it is not there anymore. I want to buy my iPhone 5 unlocked so I can go prepaid so I am not over paying for a contract. I am in the military and I was able to get a iPhone 4s unlocked in the middle east in Bahrain, now that the 5 has come out I am going to be going back to the U.S. before they get them. I love having an unlocked iPhone but I want the 5 and all of the U.S. carriers want you to buy it locked with a two year contract then they will unlock it. That ***** because I would rather just pay full price and save the money I would waste on a two year plan. I feel like I am being contolled by the U.S. carriers, because they are forcing us to get a plan.

    You'll have to wait for it to become available unlocked in the US. If history is an indicator, it will probably be announced anywhere from a few weeks to a month from now. Carrier demand has to be met first.
    AT&T has a policy of unlocking iPhones for service members being deployed now, so it may not be as big a concern to you as it would have been previously to purchase a locked phone.

  • HT201328 Unlocking iPhone without SIM card

    I submitted an unlock request to my carrier (at&t). They indicated that request had been processed and I need to do backup and restore in iTunes while having SIM card in the phone to finish up the process. The problem is that I don't have my at&t SIM card which I disposed after upgrading to a new phone.
    If I erase the phone now and give it to my parents will they be able to use it with another carrier?

    Voprosy k tomu I am the existing customer for AT&T i oni dozhny legal'mne mne unlock the phone potomu chto na nego contract expired. Chto oni i sdelali, no okazalos' chto nuzhno imet' SIM card. ESli net SIM card, to skazali contact Apple. Apple has this knowledgebase article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5014
    No tam vse ravno ne yasno smogu li ya razlokirovat' ili net.
    Koroch, esli vy znaete kak unlock iPhone 4 from AT&T, daite please link.
