HT4623 NEED TO UNLOCK THE PHONE WHICH I  GOT IT IN UK

Need to unlock my iphone 5 which my girlfriend got  it from uk...its not working here in india.how do i unlock my phone...please help me  to unlock my phone.

Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can authorize your phone's official unlocking. However, none of the UK carriers will authorize such unless you are a current/former customer. Thus, I doubt there will be anyway for you to get that phone officially unlocked.
Send it back & have your girlfriend return it.

  • My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes.  when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution saying i need to restore.  does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem

    My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes.  when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution on the phone.  How do i fix this?

    Hold down the power button and home button at the same time until the phone powers on, shuts back off, powers on again and continue to hold it until it shows the itunes logo to plug in to itunes. This should allow you to restore without unlocking it.

  • Hello i try to use another SIM card with my iphone 4s now it said i need to unlock the phone with my Sim carrier

    Hello i try to use another SIM card with my iphone 4s now it said i need to unlock the phone with my Sim carrier ... here is what it says below
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

    So..  You need to contact the carrier for the iPhone's original sim card, and request they unlock it.  The carrier is the only one that can unlock the sim of the iPhone.

    I have recieved a locked phone from US. At& T confirmed tht the same could be unlocked and had suggested the procedure of 'back up and restotre to unlock the phone, which was done. After this when I removed the old  simcard, the iphone cannot be activated

    When you connected to iTunes and restored, did you get the
    'Congratulations. Your iPhone is now unlocked' message?
    If not, first try again. Follow the procedure in the email
    AT&T sent you exactly - do not skip steps. If still no success,
    contact AT&T as the problem is on their end.
    Do you have a sim in the iPhone when trying to activate it?
    You must put a sim into the iPhone for activation to compllete.

  • How do I restore my passcode (not password) in my iphone5s. It's the one that is asked whenever you have to unlock the phone. I got used to having my thumb mark open it that I forgot it after my phone got recharged after it drained out.

    how do I get my passcode (not password) in my iphone5s sent to me via email. It's the one that is asked whenever you have to unlock the phone. I got used to having my thumb mark open it that I forgot it after my phone got recharged after it drained out. Apparently, the fingerprint won't do after the phone was drained and recharged again. The passcode has to be typed in. I don't usually allow my phone to drain out except this one time on a long trip. Hence I forgot my passcode and I prefer it being sent to me via my registered email. I know that if you enter it several times, the phone gets locked out over certain periods from 1 minute to 60 minutes so I don't want to take that risk. Any suggestions?

    First, this is a user-to-user technical support forum, not a way to communicate with Apple.
    That aside, no one can email your passcode to you because no one (not even Apple) knows it. The passcode exists in only one place - on the phone. You will have to restore the phone using the computer that you regularly sync it to. This will reinstall iOS, remove the passcode, and restore your most recent backup.
    Edit:
    See: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode for more details

  • Iphone 3gs passcode locked and stuck in emergency - how do I restore it as iphone says i need to unlock the phone before it can access it but all i can do is dial emergency number

    My iphone suddnly went into emergency numbers only mode and I have stried soft reboots - but no sucess - it goes back to the emergency screen.
    Have tried plugging it into my laptop - but iplayer says that the phone needs to be unlocked before it can access it
    Please can anyone explain how I can overcome this - I am totally baffled

    Even when your iPhone is locked up, you can still sync it with your computer. Do that first so all your data is backed up in iTunes. If you're using iCloud, you might want to switch it over to your computer for now just to be sure your information is safe.
    Put your iPhone into DFU mode. To do this, reboot your iPhone by holding down the power and home buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds. When you see the Apple logo, let go of the power button but continue holding down the home button. Soon you will see an image displaying a USB cable, the iTunes icon, and a message that says "Connect to iTunes."
    Assuming you still have your iPhone connected to your computer with iTunes open, you'll also see a message telling you iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and needs to restore. Now you can click the Restore button in iTunes and then wait for iOS to download and install on your iPhone.
    Sync your iPhone with iTunes to restore all your data and you'll have it back to normal with no password!

  • Do I need to unlock my phone to use Consumer Cellular?

    I bought a used Iphone 3GS that was an AT&T phone and I was planning to use it with Consumer Cellular who said that I wouldn't need to unlock the phone to use their service. When the phone arrived it worked fine, I didn't have to go through any activation, it just went straight to the home screen. After inserting a SIM card and calling to activate it, the phone continued to work and I was able to text/make calls. Then it said it needed to be updated so I plugged it into itunes and let it be; when I checked on it it had restored itself and now I can no longer get into the phone. All I get is the activating phone screen and it won't recognize my SIM anymore. I bought a new SIM to see if that was the problem..still won't work. Why would it work one minute than just stop? Does this mean that I do infact have to unlock the phone to use it with my new service??

    The used iPhone you purchased was apparently jailbroken to unlock it, and restoring iOS removed that jailbreak and your iPhone locked back to AT&T. Only AT&T can unlock it, assuming that the jailbreak hasn't rendered that now impossible as can happen. Here are AT&T's official requirements and procedure for unlocking an iPhone:
    https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
    Note these terms in particular:
    The person requesting the unlock must be one of the following:
    • a current AT&T customer
    • a former AT&T customer who can provide the phone number or account number for the account
    so you may not be able to get that iPhone unlocked.
    Regards.

  • I've downloaded the IOS7 to my i-phone 4. My password to unlock the phone is alfa-numeric the keyboard used to come up, now it's just numbers- I've converted to numbers but it won't unlock, any ideas please?

    Hi, please can anyone help, I've downloaded  IOS7 onto my i-phone 4 this morning, I simply accepted the prompt.  When it downloaded I needed to unlock the phone, it's a four digit code, three alfa and one numeric.  Previously when I switched my phone on the key pad popped up at the bottom of the screen, now it's like the telephone key pad, but there's no way of choosing numbers or letters.  I checked out a website that converts alfa to entered m4rk and it converted it to 6475, when I enter it into the phone it doesn't recognise it.
    Any ideas please?  I've maned to block the phone several times now....

    No one requires the device to be updated, if you choose not to update, that is entirely up to you.
    Updating without a backup is a bad idea. 
    Attempting an update without access to a computer is not very smart either.  In the event the update goes badly, the only option may be to restore via iTunes on a computer.

  • My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    My 3G unlocked iPhone is not syncing mail or contacts from my mac book pro, using Lion. I am able to get a calendars and music, only. I get the message that I need to reset the password which I have done 3x's on the phone and on the Apple server.

    Good to know that, but what can I do to get the mail and contacts downloaded from Icloud onto my Iphone?  I am told that the password needs to be reset and I have erased and reset it 3x's already? Should I Restore All Settings or Restore Network Settings or will that result in a situation where I have to have it re-unlocked again? GRACIAS!

  • Trying to reset phone but have message that says cant connect to prepaid I phone need to unlock screen.  Which is the reason why I want to reset to begin with

    I Bought an IPhone 4 several months ago.  I was going to give it to my wife but she doesn't like the keyboard on my IPhone so I stuck in a drawer as a backup.  I had my cousin over and he was playing games on it then we put it away.  He somehow activated the screen lock.   I am trying to open the phone. I tried to do a reset through iTunes.  But keep getting an error message that says. " iTunes can't start your prepaid IPhone you need to unlock the screen".  Which is the reason I am trying to reset the phone to begin with.  I have done other resets but have never encountered this comment before.  
    THanks to anyone who can help me

    Try Recovery Mode > iOS: Unable to update or restore
    Last resort is DFU Mode (Google it)
    Is your iPhone legitimately unlocked or is it Hacked/Jailbroken to use a perpaid SIM

  • HT5278 I am trying to unlock my phone - this required me to download itunes onto a friend's PC in PNG. Now it won't restore  the phone (which I have to do in order to unlock it) without downloading this 800Mb file, which will cost me approx AUD$200. Help.

    Are there any other options out there?

    Nope. You need an .ipsw file to restore your phone & since your friend didn't have iTunes, obviously there is no current .ipsw file to use. You can go to an Apple store, use your own computer, find another computer, but you can't restore without a current signed .ipsw file.
