HT4993 I was advised by sprint to request that you unlock my iPhone so that I can insert international sim card when I travel to Africa. My travel is due soon.
I like to have my iPhone of sprint network unlocked so that I can insert international sim card when I get to nigeria to use it for calls there please help and reply asap
<Edited By Host>
Only Sprint can unlock your phone. Call them back.
This is a user-to-user technical support forum. You're not addressing Apple here. I've also requested that the Hosts remove your mobile number from the post.

How do you unlock the iphone 4 that was brought from the UK to use in Turkey??
I brought an iphone 4 from 3 UK and brought it to Turkey and paid 115tl to register it and 35tl to Vodafone for unlocking. But the phone has been saying no service for the last 2 weeks. Vodafone has told me there is nothing they can do and that i just have to wait. How can i solve this problem, could it possible that the phone is still locked to 3 UK??
If 3 unlocked your device and confirmed it, then it should be unlocked.
Did you restore the device with the new SIM? If no, do it and it should be unlocked.
If its still locked, call AppleCare and they can tell you, if they can see in the system the unlock request from your carrier (AppleCare should be avaulable in Turkey now, or trough Skype the UK AppleCare).
If they dont see it there, then 3 did not unlock the device and you need to contact them. -
I was trying to insert a SIM card into my iPhone 4 without actually knowing how to do so. I assumed that I was to remove the back of the phone and find a slot for it near the battery. I removed the battery in an attempt to find a SIM slot, and was obviously unsuccessful. I put the battery back into place and screwed the phone back plate back on. Note: the battery was fully charged and the iPhone was working perfectly fine before. After screwing the iPhone back into place properly, I thought, I attempted to cut the phone on and it would not do so. I put it back on the charger, and the screen came up that says "Connect to iTunes". I obviously couldn't do so if its plugged into the wall. I plugged into the computer, connected it to iTunes, went through the Recovery mode process, and it still won't turn on. The computer says that the iPhone is in Recovery mode, but iTunes can't do anything because it has already been restored. When I disconnect it from the computer, I hold all buttons in all possible combinations, but it won't turn on at all. When I plug it into the wall, it again says to connect to iTunes. I don't know if I damaged the battery or any part within the iPhone, but I was sensitive in my approach to removing the battery and putting it back in, and there is no visible damage whatsoever. I am extremely frustrated and in desperate need of Apple-Pro help.
do you have a cdma iphone 4? becauase cdma iphones dont have a sim card slot... the providers that use cdma technology here in the us would be verizion, sprint, criket, ect... if you want to use your iphone 4 on att or tmobile (gsm carriers). then you would need a gsm iphone 4 (has sim card slot). a gsm iphone 4 is different than a cdma iphone 4 (they have different radio chips). maby you missed the sim card slot? sim card slot would be on the side of the phone.. never inside (unless it has a removable back cover like the galaxy s3 or s4), if you dont see a sim card slot on the side of the phone than you have a cmda iphone 4. can you tell me what carrier you are trying to use?

hi i updated my iphone but it says that This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked. how can i unlock this one?
Your iPhone was hacked or jailbroken before and through the update it locks back to the original carrier. Only the original carrier can unlock the iPhone. You have to contact them and find out what the procedure you needs to follow.

In your other post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5001329?tstart=60
you say the iPhone originally was on contract with Orange UK. You will have
to work with Orange UK to get the iPhone unlocked. -
I have an old iPhone 3S, that was used with Bell. My friend lost her phone and I lend her this one, which she unlock to use with Rogers. I got it back and want to use as an iPod not the phone, but when I connected to iTunes I am getting this message: "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please diconnect and insert a SIM card".
I went to Bell and Rogers where we tried inserting active cards but message never changed.
On the phone itself I am able to get wifi but finish with "Your phone could not be activated because the activation server is temporary anavailable."
I run diagnostic from iTunes:everything is working properly, only message out of normal is "iTunes is not running in safe mode"
How can I sinc this phone with iTunes, so I can use it to lisen to music?
Any help will be apriacietedI can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where -
Do I need to have a SIM card when requesting an international unlock on my Iphone 4S?
Hi everyone,
I know that I can request to unlock my Iphone 4S by calling the Verizon Global Support, but can anyone who has done that tell me what exact steps I'm gonna go through while getting my Iphone unlocked? Can any of you please tell me whether I need a SIM card during the unlock process? And if yes, what kind of SIM card do I need?
Thanks in advance!Hi hoang_thanh,
You will not need a SIM card to unlock. Please keep in mind that only Verizon Wireless Global Support Team completes the SIM Unlock procedure. Please contact our Global Support team at 9085594899.
You must be a Verizon Wireless customer and the following qualifications must be met for the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) to be unlocked:
•The device being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
•The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
•The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
•Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
***Important***
SIM unlock is only for international service. Domestic SIM cards will not work with your Verizon Wireless device after SIM unlock.

Dear ,
I buied I phone from USA and I sent to Iraq to use it there but when used it I get this message :
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
so I need support to resolve this problem and procedure and how I can iPhone be unlocked.

Sorry... but... ONLY the US Carrier it is Locked to can unlock it.
You need to Contact them.

My iPhone5 prompts while setting up "This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you are attempting to use.Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier" or "Request that this iPhone be unlocked" How can I unlock my new iPhone5 to function properly?
That means that the phone is locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
Where exactly did you get this "new" iPhone 5? -
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.
what does it mean?Have a look in Settings>Carrier
Again YOU cannot unlock it - only the original carrier can do it -
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.Sounds like you are trying to use an iPhone that is locked to a particular
wireless carrier with the sim from another wireless carrier. Contact the wireless
provider that the iPhone is locked to and ask if they offer unlocking and if
you qualify. Only the wireless carrier that the iPhone is locked to can unlock
it. -
I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan
You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source. -
i have upgraded my iphone to iSO version 6 but the problem is the phone was locked it shows that only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activat Iphone.please insert the SIM card that came with your iphone

After I upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS 5.0.1, the iPhone screen was locked and it has shown a picture which requested me to connect my iPhone to iTunes. My iPhone can do nothing now.
I've tried to deleted my iTunes and downloaded the latest version. However, when I plugged in my iPhone4, the plug-in sound is different from before and it cannot be detected by iTunes.
Please kindly help.So whenever you plug the iPhone into the USB port your computer doesn't recognize it???? At all?? Can you check on the hardware of your pc if by any chance is the USB being detected; like it will appear and then diss connect from the pc, just to check and make sure that something is changing, of nothing occurs I will doubt on the cable, you can get one and then return it if it's not the case.
If it is detected then did you backup the iPhone? If so you may need to rollback the change.
Please try!
Good luck
