HT2309 How do I get an Iphone unlocked from O2 if O2 refuse to do it?

Does anyone know how to get an Iphone unlocked from O2 if O2 refuse to do it?  I've been told that warranty could be void if someone else does it (ie a backstreet stall)

If you are in the UK you can buy a PAYG sim and become a customer again
follow the O2 instructions to get it unlocked
You have to be active with an O2 sim for O2 to be able to unlock

  • How can I get my iPhone contacts from my itunes to icloud so I can restore to an iPhone3GS using a newer PC.

    Hi,
    My big issue is I would like to retrieve my contacts
    I have an iPhone 3GS that has been regularly synced to my iTunes 9.02? on an older powerbook running 10.4.11. I would like to have a new iMac but the delivery time currently for the configuration I wanted is 8 - 10 weeks.
    The iPhone has been regularly crashing so the local Apple store advised me to upgrade the OS which I was only able to do using a PC as I couldn't do it using my Mac.
    Now I'm stuck. The iPhone is asking me if I want to restore from itunes (on the PC which as far as I know has nothing on it) OR from icloud which seems to have only one contact (me) OR to set up a new phone. I cannot use my old Mac now as when I plug in the phone it tells me its not compatible.
    Am I screwed? Should I give up, get a new blackberry and just forget about Apple after being a loyal user for 25 years?
    Can I somehow find a way to get the iPhone backup from the old Mac itunes up to icloud?

    I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
    All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
    I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
    It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.

  • HT4528 how do i get my iphone unlocked?

    my iphone 4 was stolen and i recently got it back but the person that had it changed my passcode and i must have entered the wrong passcode so many times it locked it down. how do i unlock it? or how can i get it back on the screen to enter a new passcode?

    If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

  • How can I get the Iphone receipts from Apple Store Millenia Orlando?

    To all, back January 2011 in Orlando, I bought 2 Iphones locked at AT&T. In that time I paid full price without AT&T contract. Now, I contact AT&T to unlock them and they are asking me the receipts proving that I bought them with full price.
    I don1t have the receipts anymore, so how can I get a copy of them?
    An important detail, I live in Brazil so I can not go to the Apple Store to claim for a new copy.
    Do you have any idea how I could have these receipts?
    Thanks

    If you paid with debit or credit card, try contacting the
    financial institute that issued the card. Look through
    your old statements to see if the entry is there. Search
    your emails if you chose to have the receipt emailed to
    you.

  • How do I  get my iphone 3g from UK to accept my Zimbabwean sim card

    How do I unlock my Iphone 3g i received as a present from UK to accept my local Zimbabwean sim card for free?

    you will need to contact the carrier to whom the phone is locked to see 1)if the carrier offers unlocking services and 2) the requirements to get the phone unlocked.
    There is a good possibility that you might not be able to get the phone unlocked.  In that case you'll need to get a different phone.

    Contact the original cellular provider. They are the only ones that can authorize unlocking. Some do, some don't

        arps49,
    The great news about our 4G LTE devices is that they are already unlocked. You can use a SIM card from another carrier but we won't be able to guarantee that the device will work the same way as they do when you are connected to the VZW network.

  • Where do I get my iPhone unlocked?

    Recently I sold my older Sister's iPhone 4S to a friend of mine. The next day my friend complained that their sim wasn't valid (her sim was from virgin media) she had told me before I sold her the phone that her sim would work with any phone. My Sister's phone was brought from Tesco Mobile. It say's under 'SIM not valid' on the iPhone that the sim card currently installed in the iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy. Tomorrow I am going to a local shopping center that has an Apple Store. The question is though, which carrier would I get the iPhone unlocked from, Tesco Mobile or Virgin Media? Is it going to cost money and can Apple help me if I ring them or go into the store?

    You will need to contact the original cellular provider to determine their unlocking policy, and if YOU qualify.

  • How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of (connect to iTunes) mode?

    How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of recovery (connect to itunes) mode? 
    Once the iPhone 3GS is in DFU mode and plugged into iTunes, the restore and update process begins. The restores process are as followed:
    Extracting software > Preparing iPhone for restore (blank screen) > Preparing iPhone software for restore > Restoring iPhone software > Verifying iPhone restore > Restoring iPhone firmware > The iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (1).
    I clicked on the more information tab and was taken to a website with some troubleshooting. I did what they suggested (based on the error #) and still no luck. I’ve tried to restore and update about 10 times now but the same message keeps coming up at the end. What should I do now?
    P.S: I have the latest version of iTunes (11), my windows is up to date etc ...

  • How can I get a legally unlocked iPhone 3G in US?

    How can I get a legally unlocked iPhone 3G in US? Where, How, And what is the total price. Thanks!

    As has been stated, you cannot purchase an unlocked iPhone in the US. This kbase article indicates whether iPhones sold in particular countries are carrier-locked (in some cases, you can contact the carrier for unlocking).

  • How can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    how can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, so you will need to contact the carrier. Note that if the iPhone is locked to AT&T, they will not unlock an iPhone at any time for any reason.
