How do u unlock SIM on iPhone

Contact the wireless provider that the iPhone is locked to
and ask if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. That
is the only way.

  • Unlocked sim-free Iphone 5S in retail store

    Can I buy an unlocked sim-free Iphone 5S in any Apple retail store? I cannot buy it online as I'm abroad but coming to US next month.

    Buy the AT&T version of the phone from the Apple store. Do not activate the phone with the AT&T sim and instead use the sim from the provider that you are going to use.
    You also may not have 4G/LTE data when you get back to your home country. You will also have no warranty on the phone outside of the US. If you have a problem with the phone you will have to return (or just the phone) to the US. You cannot ship to Apple for repairs either. Is that risk worth saving some money? Only you can decide.

  • HT201328 How do I unlock a disabled iphone?

    How do I unlock a disabled iphone?

    The article I linked specifically says "iPhone is disabled".  And there is a reference to 'lock' on that page, at the bottom:
    Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    There's even a picture.
    Also, that article links to another article about Using Passcodes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4113
    Which refers to a 'lock' and' 'unlock' multiple times.
    Or, hey, that article has a link to Find My iPhone overview... which ALSO refers to 'locking' an iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
    Use Lost Mode to lock and track your device
    Oh, and THAT article also links to Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695   which also has a lot of references to 'lock'.  Heh, it's even in the TITLE.
    Are you going to keep trying to say that "The ONLY time you 'unlock' a phone is with a carrier."?
    You are wrong.  That is not the only time you 'unlock' an iPhone.
    The OP asked: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
    A phone locked to a carrier is not disabled.  It can be used with that carrier.
    Unlocking a disabled iPhone refers to when the passcode has been entered too many times.
    There is a passcode lock function for iPhones.
    To unlock an iPhone that is passcode locked, you need to enter the passcode.
    Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and it becomes disabled.
    The only thing about the OP's post that even suggests this is an issue about carrier unlocking is the article he linked from, which is most likely explained because he seached for 'unlock iphone'.  First Google result is the article he linked from.
    But a carrier locked phone is not DISABLED.  You are ignoring that part of the OP's post, and focusing on the word 'unlock', which has multiple meanings.
    The most likely issue is a passcode lock on the phone, which was entered incorrectly too many times, and thus, the iPhone is disabled.
    Just  like the OP said: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
    Being 'locked' to a carrier has NOTHING to do with an iPhone being disabled.  Restricted to use on that particular carrier?  Yes.  Disabled?  No.

  • How do I unlock my Apple iPhone 4S so I can use other SIM cards abroad?

    Hello!
    I have an iPhone 4s which i have had for years with Vodafone UK.  I know I can get them to unlock my iPhone for me so I can use it abroad.  I tried to do this.  But they said the IMEI number I have for my phone is not the same as the one in their records.
    This is because Apple (in store) swapped it out when I had problems with it within the first year) so I have a different iPhone from the one they sold me.
    So I am lost.  How do I unlock an iPhone from Apple so i can use sim cards abroad?
    Any help is gratefully received!
    Alan

    Thanks Peter!  If only I was in the UK!  I am in Nicaragua and south America for the next four months hence why trying to get my phone unlocked!  It is a nightmare and at the moment I have Vodafone saying they can't do it because they don't recognize the IMEI number and Apple doing the same.
    Any other ideas about what I can do remotely. 
    Thank you for your reply.

  • How Many Versions of Unlock/Sim-free iPhone 3g?

    I'm getting confused on the various Unlocked versions of iPhone 3G sold throughout the world especially in countries like Hong Kong, NZ, Italy, Singapore etc.
    Some said its Factory Unlocked from Apple but some need to be unlock by the Telco. Some said it need to Sync with iTunes Store for the first time... etc...etc..
    Can someone help to clarify?
    Thanks.

    Certain Wireless carriers will sell them Unlocked.
    The price for an unlocked is pretty high.
    They are usually sold as unlocked already via the Wireless carrier. Not Apple.
    The only one I knew for sure was T-Mobile Germany way back. But never kept up on all the companies and how they sold them so my info is outdated. Sounds like you know more.

  • How do I unlock my original iPhone to be used as a backup to my iPhone 3G?

    Hey Everyone,
    Some background:
    Back in July '08, my original iPhone died. This occurred 2-3 weeks after the 1 year warranty expired and the Genius at my local Apple Store was kind enough to still replace it with a refurbished one. However, before I met with the Genius, I bought an iPhone 3G (which is what I'm using now).
    My question:
    The refurbished iPhone came with firmware 1.1.4 and is useless because it keeps showing the 'connect to iTunes' image. How do I unlock it so I can use it as a back-up to my iPhone 3G?
    Right now, it's just a paper weight. When I first got it, I was hoping I could connect it to iTunes to unlock it but I stopped it half way through the process because it started to cancel my iPhone 3G data plan (to replace it with the EDGE data plan). In fact, I had to go to an AT&T store to restore the data plan on my 3G.
    FYI, I have no desire to jailbreak it or unlock for use with other mobile carriers. I just want to unlock the phone so that I can use it with my current AT&T plan. I also did a quick Google search an all the articles I found were for jailbreaking the iPhone.
    Thanks!

    Ok, weird. After starting this thread, I plugged my original iPhone into my MBP and iTunes displayed a message saying the firmware was too old to synchronize. It suggested that I upgrade the firmware. Instead of continuing, I chose to eject the iPhone and now it's activated - i.e., I can use the iPhone and access the apps (except for the ones that require a data connection). So, I guess I'm all set.
    Hopefully, iTunes didn't screw up the data plan on my 3G (I don't think it did since it didn't show any message of communicating with AT&T's servers).
