    how to check an iPhone is factory unlock or not

    There is no way to check. This question gets asked all the time, and the simple fact is if you purchased your phone from an official source that sells officially unlocked iPhones, your phone is officially unlocked. If you didn't purchase from an official source, there is a good chance it was hacked.

    The store or person from whom you bought the iPhone should be able to tell you. If not, you can either just try a different carrier's SIM, or perhaps if you call Apple Support they may be able to tell you.

  • How do i know if my iphone5 is factory unlocked or not?

    how do i know if my iphone5 is factory unlocked or not?

    And the answer is in all of that rhetoric above...the simple way to tell as a user is to take the sim out, put in a sim for another carrier and see if the iPhone activates.  If it does, it is not locked.  If it does not, it is locked.
    If you bought this iPhone used, you will not be able to tell if it was unlocked when Apple sold it or if it was unlocked by a carrier after sale.
    If the iPhone is locked, as Apple told you, then it was sold locked.  iPhones Apple sells unlocked do not get themselves locked during use or activation.  They stay unlocked.  So, if the iPhone is locked now it was not sold as unlocked by Apple.

    Absolutely NOT true. Apple stores in the UK, Canada, France...and many other places sell officially unlocked iPhones, so do many online Apple stores. Fact is, in many places in the world it is against the law to sell carrier locked phones.

    If it is a 3GS you cannot update it to 4.3, you can only update it to iOS 6. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer, connect the phone, click on its name on the left, then click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
    If you can't connect to your home WiFi try rebooting the router.

    If you bought a brand new iPhone directly from Apple, then look at your receipt. There will be nothing in the box indicating whether it's locked or unlocked.
    Where, exactly, did you buy it?
