HT4623 how to request iphone to be unlocked from carrier/apple

how do you get apple to unlock your iphone from the carrier,phone is out of contract.

Apple do not unlock iPhones ,nor for that matter do  Apple lock iPhones
Carriers lock them ,usually because they  subsidised the purchase price
Only they therefore can unlock them
call the carrier who holds the lock

  • How do i transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to the ringtones on my iphone 4, tried everything, help

    How do I transfer music and ringtones from my apple pc to my iphone 4, all downloaded into my ipod on my phone, unable to transfer into ringtones, help

    Music transferred from your iTunes library to your iPhone is transferred to the iPod on your iPhone only.
    If a custom ringtone is in the correct format, it will be available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Are the custom ringtones in your iTunes library available under the Ringtones tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

  • I bought an unlocked iPhone 4s in America from an Apple Store, need Japanese service.

    As the topic line states, I bought an unlocked iPhone 4s in America from an Apple Store, need Japanese service. I need to use it in Japan. What should I do? What is a good provider? I heard that Softbank will not let you use ANY iPhone that is not purchased from them. So I am wondering what to do.
    I will be studying in Japan for 15 months, so I think it best that I get a 2 year contract, seeing as I plan to work here, following graduation. Does anyone know a way around the Softbank issue? If not, should I choose AU or Docomo? If those don't make much sense, either, than should I simply return the iPhone that I purchased in America and sign up for a two year contract with Softbank here?
    P.s. The whole purpose behind buying it in America to begin with was because if I return to America, I can always use it there, too.

    Hi,
    I am in the same situation as Iooc, I live in Uruguay and the iphone 4s costs 1400 Us dollars. I have been told that this price is caused because apple does not offer a discount to the Uruguayan distributors, therefor they are buying at the same price as in an apple store.
    Well, as I have a friend travel next week to the US, I wanted to know about the unlocked iPhone 4s. Is it only GSM? Won't I be able to use intent 3G in this phone here in Uruguay?
    Thanks

  • I lost my I phone 4 , how to track it's imei number from the apple id that  I used in that lost iPhone

    I lost my I phone 4 , how to track it's imei number from the apple id that  I used in that lost iPhone

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

  • IPhone 3g in France is unlocked from carrier?

    I have bought iPhone 3g in France (full price 509 EUR without contract) based on information that iPhone is unlocked from carrier in France. But after activation my iPhone is locked to Orange carrier. Can I official unlocked iPhone from Orange to my SIM (in Russia)?

    The iPhone is sold in France as carrier locked with Orange and as officially unlocked.
    I believe the carrier locked version can be sold without contract, but this doesn't mean the iPhone is unlocked.
    I believe the official unlocked version is sold for more than 509 EUR in France, and you must also pay an additional unlock fee.

  • How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another

    How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another?

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

  • How do i remove my credit card from my apple id

    how can i remove my debit card from my apple id, i have had to cancel my card and now my iphone and ipad will not let me update my apps

    Here's how to remove your card form your account, katiekoos:
    1) Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website at:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
    2) To launch iTunes and be taken to your Apple Account Information page, click this link:
    https://phobos.apple.com/accountSummary
    (If you are not already signed in, you will need to enter your iTunes Store account name and password and then click the Account Info button to sign in.)
    3) The Apple Account Information page will appear. On this page, click the Edit Payment Information button, which is the second button from the top.
    4) On the Edit Payment Information page, select "None" from the list of credit card types. This will delete your billing information.
    5) Be sure to click the Done button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.
    Note: If you established any allowances using this credit card, please cancel the allowance and advise the recipient that the monthly allowance payments will cease.
    To buy from the iTunes Store in the future, you can use iTunes Gift Cards, which are available in multiple denominations at third-party retailers, Apple Store retail locations, and the Apple Store online.

  • If I buy a iphone 6 on contract from an Apple store will it be locked

    If I buy a iphone 6 on contract from a Apple store will it be locked?

    to lock with the first sim one put in makes not sense
    unlocked phones cost the true price of the phone
    the reason why locked phones cost more is because the carrier they are locked to pay the difference and expect to make their profit by the users usage
    to lock automatic to the first sim one put in would mean that carrier would not had paid the difference so apple would not get anything out of it
    and the user would not get anything out of it, the only who would, would be that random carrier sounds like a lotto system for sim locks

  • Carrier free iPhone 6 Plus purchased from US Apple website use in Malaysia

    Can a carrier free iPhone 6 Plus purchased from US Apple website be used in Malaysia? I see that I have the option to purchase an iPhone 6 Plus without signing with the US carrier, since I won't be using the phone in the US. I'm going to bring it to Malaysia. So is the phone from Apple site already unlocked?

    I'm not aware of a difference between SIM free and unlocked.
    If the iPhone 6 is available for sale as unlocked at an Apple retail store in Japan, an unlocked iPhone can be used with any carrier's SIM card.

    If you live in the UK and a problem develops that requires an exchange under warranty, you would need to return to Japan for the exchange.

I can't download any apps now because it says I need to update my billing information (doesn't matter if the app are free or I have to pay for it), and when I try to do that, this error message comes up: "Debit Card can not be used. Please enter valid credit card information".
    I've double checked everything and nothings wrong? Still that message comes up.
    ******* Apple.
    Please help? What can I do?

    You've followed the instructions on the HT1918 page that you posted from for removing credit card details ? If you don't get the 'none' option on your account then see if anything on this thread does : https://discussions.apple.com/message/19231438
