You cannot. No Japanese carrier offers unlocking. You'll need to sell the phone and buy one you can actually use outside of Japan.

  • My dad brought me an iPhone from Japan, He sent it to me here in the Philippines to use it, but It say that I need a valid sim to activate my iphone,  I only have softbank sim. What will I do to activate my iPhone 4? Thanks!

    HELP ME PLEASE!

    That phone won't do you any good in the Philippines...send it back. There are NO officially unlocked iPhones sold in Japan, and none of the Japanese carriers offer unlocking for the iPhone.
    There is no way to get the phone officially unlocked...send it back.

  • How to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3g or gPRS on safari with an iphone 4 and latest software updates

    Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.

    All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
    Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

    Debit cards are no longer accepted in the iTunes Store, it seems. The current valid payment methods are listed here:

    You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they probably will tell you that it's not possible.

    Thanks for the quick response. No, I did not get any error messages or any terms-of-usage screen. The employee I told my problem to was not computer savvy either. She just suggested I move to different spots w/in the library to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. When I connected to the library WiFi it did change the Verizon 3G that is usually in the upper left corner to iPad with two to three emanating arcs. I may have to go to the library in the next town. I was able to connect to theirs in the past when I had to download something greater than 20 MB. Unless I really want it, I will probably not even try to download something more than 20 MB due to the hassle. Yeah, I may have been better off getting a normal desktop or laptop and getting WiFi at home. To do that now would mean having my iPad 2 and a desktop computer, which I feel is extravagant. (I know there are a lot of big spenders out there who got the iPad as additional gadget for fun. This is a rich country.) A Verizon rep told me I couldn't set up a WiFi router at home just using an iPad. So it seems like a person who just uses 3G is limited to surfing the net (not even much YouTube because it eats a lot of data) and using email. I read about an app that helps print wirelessly using 3G, but a reviewer said you had to be an engineer to get it done right. BTW, I like the Steelers. I'm old enough to remember Franco Harris and that blond guy whose name escapes me back in the '70s. Since I live in North Jersey I feel I have to support the Giants. But I know football about as well as computers.

  • How do I move data on time machine from one external hard drive to another

    How do I move data on time machine from one external hard drive to another?

    Although the documentation says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it's very slow and sometimes doesn't work at all.
    Launch Disk Utility, open the built-in help, and search for the term "Duplicate." Follow the instructions. Turn Time Machine OFF in its preference pane while copying the volume.

  • My iPad 2 won't connect 3G keeps saying cann not activate cellular data network?

    My iPad 2 keeps saying could not activate cellular data network. Does anyone know how I can get it to connect to 3G? I have tried resetting and turning wifi off. Any suggestions?

    I have had 4 iPhone 4S 3G on Verizon. I have never been able to activate by dialing *228. I could not activate via iCloud or iTunes, either. I went to the apple store. They had to do it. I could not set up a Yahoo email account yesterday on the latest device swapped. The Apple Store rep had to look up a workaround online. It's a CLOWN SHOW!

  • HT1976 Hi, visiting USA, and bought an I-Phone 5, unlocked. Then bought monthly pay as you go $25, and added a features package. Then found I needed to be on the $50 plan. Still says cannot activate cellular data!

    Hi,
    Bought from Apple store an unlocked I-phone 5.
    Bought a basic pay as you package 10c per minute.
    Then decided I wanted data coverage, so went for the $25 per month and a data packeage.
    Phone kept saying "could not activate cellular data network" as I was  "you are not subscribed to a cellular data service".
    AT&T, said not available on this plan.
    Checked the small print, and it sad I needed £50 plan. Paid more money to go on the pay as you go $50 plan, addde more to the data package.
    Same messages.
    Now, cannot get an AT&T e-mail address to ask, no help from the auto messages.
    Any ideas?
    Apart from the "you've been tricked?"

    Hi,
    Yep, tried to phone just an ordinary store, and they were uselee; basically it was translated as "we just take your money"
    You are correect, need corporate one.
    I am travelling around USA on motorbike, so will have a look.
    Howver, I thought someone would have a quick answer.
    Is there even an e-mail address or phone number.
    I tried the 611 and got no suitable option, and there did not appear to be a suitable e-mail either>
    Whatever, just found out that aT &T do not offer this on pay as you go, not matter how much money the plan is!!

  • Could not activate cellular data network fix

    Im on an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.2 with StraightTalk and any time I attempt to connect to the internet with 3G it say "Could not activate cellular data network. You Are Not Subscibed." I need a fix for it! Please help!

    This is not an uncommon problem apparently.
    Did you try dialing *22890?
    How did you activate your iPhone (iTunes, iCloud, WalMart kiosk)?
    Some on the StraightTalk forums report success by visiting a WalMart which is equipped with an activation kiosk and asking a qualified WalMart empolyee to activate the phone (be sure and back up any critical data before you do that since they will reset the phone).
    Also, are you in the home area code of your phone? My iPhone 5 was set to not allow data roaming outside of my home network.  I am not sure if that means my area code or the StraightTalk network.  Either way, you can go to Settings>Cellular>Roaming and check to see if data roaming is turned on.  Be careful if you roam a lot, though as you might incur additional data charges.
    Hope this helps.

  • "Could not activate cellular data network" dialog, tried nearly everything, please help!

    I have had my iPad 3 since it came out. The 4G has had occasional issues, but I was always able to connect. Now out of the blue, after working perfectly well yesterday, it suddenly says "Could not activate cellular data network" when I try to go to the browser. The signal looks strong with Verizon LTE on top of the screen. I can also go through the Verizon dialog to see my account and how much data I have used so far, so in some way I am clearly connected to the cellular network. I have tried resetting the network settings, then re-provisioned, rebooted and still have the same problem in every detail. If anyone has any ideas on what else to try short of clearing the machine back to factory settings, please let me know.

    Verizon is having trouble. I'm trying to activate my phone and they said they were having trouble activating the SIM cards. They said they would call me back when they resolved the issue. It's been about 40 minutes now and I haven't heard from them and I can't do anything on my old phone because everything is tied up due to the pending order.
