HT4061 is it possible to unlock a japan iphone and to know the service provider bought it second hand

A friend of mine have received a second hand iphone bought in Japan and we try it here in the UAE unfortunately it was locked and we don't know the service provider.  Is there any possibility to check the service provider and have it unlock so he could use it here.  I will come back and check the phone details

If the phone originated in Japan, then you are out of luck because none of the Japanese carriers offer unlocking for their phones.
Bottom Line:  You can't use the phone in the UAE and you will have to buy another phone if you want to use it.

  • Is it possible to sync two different iphones and an ipad on only one computer?

    Is it possible to sync two different iphones and an ipad on only one computer??
    My husband has an iphone 4 & ipad. I have an iphone 4S. We both use the same  itunes account. We are having trouble w/ all of our contacts/calendars & info getting all mixed up. We want to both use the same itunes account & apple id so that we dont have to separatley repurchase everything. Can anyone help us w/ this issue? Are we obligated to buy another computer so that we each have one--or is there some way around it? Thanks!!

  • Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

    Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

    Nope.  Both require iTunes on a computer to sync music from.
    Unless the iPod is an iPod Touch and the music was bought from iTunes.  In which case the Touch can simply go to the iTunes App, under Purchased  and download the purchased songs for free.

  • Is it possible to get a variable if I only know the variable by it'

    Is it possible to get a variable if I only know the variable by it's string name?
    In my case I would like to call Resources.GetStringToDisplay("TEXT_0") and get the string "bla bla 0"
    public class Resources {
    public string GetStringToDisplay(String s)
    {          //how can I to return the value of one variable
    return ............;
    public static String TEXT_0="bla bla 0";
    public static String TEXT_1="bla bla 1";
    public static String TEXT_2="bla bla 2";
    public static String TEXT_3="bla bla 3";
    Thanks

    NO you can not get Variable value by camparing string value in J2ME (because J2ME is not supporting reflection package). But you can do one thing to get same functionality.
    public static String TEXT_0="TEXT_0@bla bla 0";
    public static String TEXT_1="TEXT_1@bla bla 1";
    public static String TEXT_2="TEXT_2@bla bla 2";
    public static String TEXT_3="TEXT_3@bla bla 3";
    public string GetStringToDisplay(String s)
    if(TEXT_0.startsWith(s) )
    return TEXT_0.substring (TEXT_0.indexOf('@')+1, TEXT_0.length());
    else if(TEXT_1.startsWith(s) )
    return TEXT_1.substring (TEXT_1.indexOf('@')+1, TEXT_1.length());

  • Is is possible to get a new iPhone 5c for free when I've bought a defective iPhone 5c?

    Is is possible to get a new iPhone 5c for free when I've bought a defective one on September the 30th?

    If you purchased your phone directly from Apple, in the US, you have 30 days from the date of purchase to return it for a no questions asked refund. 14 days in the rest of the world. If you make an appointment at the genius bar, & the genius bar determines your phone is defective, they will replace it on the spot. Whether the replacement phone is new or refurbished cannot be determined, as all replacement phones come in a white box. However, given how new the iPhone 5C is, most likely the replacement will be new, & not refurbished. Those are your options.

  • How do you unlock a phone when you dont know the password?

    how do you unlock a phone when you dont know the password?

    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

    Hello hskod,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
    You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
    Leaving the password field blank
    Your Apple ID password
    Your computer account password, if you have one
    Email passwords you may have used
    Your Wi-Fi network password
    Website passwords you may have used
    A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

    Yes, just reinstall from your Time Machine backup you made before updating to Mountain Lion.

  • Is it possible to unlock my french iphone 4s to use it in Australia?

    Hi everybody, sorry for my english I'm a frenchman.. Si i'm in front of a BIG problem, in fact i'm asking myself a qustion and I tried to find an answwer online but nothing.. That's why I'm here! I hope you'll be able to help me
    My question is : I'm about to buy an Iphone 4s 16go white in France and in one month i'll move to Australia; will I be able to se it there? I don't think so.. But is it possible to unlock it ? I don't want to buy it if I can't.. So if anybody know if an international unlock is possible, please tell me!
    Thank you all, have a nice day

    All of the French carriers, except Free Mobile, offer official unlocking. If you purchase a carrier locked iPhone, you'll have to contact the carrier regarding their unlocking policy. Once unlocked, you can use it anywhere in the world on any supported carrier's GSM network. You MUST get the phone unlocked while you're still in France, if you purchase a carrier locked iPhone.
    Honestly, your best bet is to purchase an officially unlocked iPhone directly from Apple, if you are going to purchase in France.

  • Is it possible to have sorting by group and checkboxes in the same ALV

    Hi there,
    Does anyone know whether it is possible to have sorting and group on one field in ALV and checkboxes set on another field in ALV?
    eg.
    Fieldname
    ===========
    Name----
    Text
    Allowance----
    Numeric -> Sort & Group
    Verified----
    Checkbox
    How do I code it if it is possible to have grouping and check box all in one ALV.  Meaning I want some data that are the same to merge using sort, while still having the checkbox available for my other field (Verified).
    Thanks in advance.
    Lawrence

    hi,
    GROUP BY clause is used on database tables with select statement.
    sort is used on internal tables.
    can u clearly explain y u need group by and sort on the same field.
    if u are extracting from dbtable using grou by clause on a field, then no need to sort it again.
    if u want sort u can do it by giveing "sort itab by field". thats not a problem.
    now coming to check box.instead of using SLIS type field catalog, u use LVC type.
    in LVC_S_LAYO, u can fine box_fname.
    while defining layout, u declare a variable of type LVC_S_LAYO
    AND GIVE BOX_FNAME = internal table field name

  • Is it possible to run both Netflow v5 and v9 at the same time

    Hi All,
    Just wondering if it is possible to run netflow version 9 and version 5 at the same time (to different destinations) on the same router please?
    Thanks very much
    Regards

    No Amanda,
    we cannot simultaneously configure both versions of NETFLOW on cisco ios. After configuring firstone when you try to configure other version it will override the previously configured version.
