HT5012 I can't use my iphone 4 which I purchased in KSA in Sri lanka! Is there a solution to this?

When I fix my sri lankan sim it doesnt get read, more likely doesnt read the sim! Please advise as to what can be done

Most likely is that the iPhone is locked to a carrier somewhere .....
If you purchased in KSA from a " shop " then it may be a grey import probably from the US
Only the carrier who locked it can unlock it .....Good luck

  • How can I use my iPhone 5s that I purchased online

    HHow can I use my iPhone 5s that is locked with someone else's iTunes account?

    If you're able to contact the previous owner, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If not, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded.
    Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

    What do you mean how can you use the phone?  Go out and buy a sim card and put it in the phone to activate it and start using it.

  • Can I use a Apple TV which I purchased in the USA abroad

    I recently purchased an Apple Tv & Time capsule in the USA.Can I use them outside the USA(in UK or worldwide).I was just wondering if I need an adapter for the power supply etc. Or products purchased in the US cannot be used outside the country??

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV has a universal power supply, so you only need a different plug or adaptor.

  • HT201699 I'm using an iPhone 4 which i purchased last month, there seems to be some kind of problem with the mobile data network

    Hi,
    I bought a new iPhone 4 last month, totally fell in love with it untill there was this problem regarding the apn disappearing. I manually added the apn info and it worked fine for some time but soon after I disabled the mobile data/3g connection and enabled it later I always use to get a msg saying "Could not activate mobile data network" even after it being active( 3g symbol always used to be poped up at the top). Though the apn is filled with a valid data it shows me the same msg over and over again. It some times works on rebooting but the rebooting the handset everytime i want to use the connection sounds very pestering. Please suggest me with somehting to get rid of this problem...

  • HT201328 Please help!  can I unlock an iphone 4 which I purchased w/ no ATT contract at Ebay?  I want to bring it go my family in El Salvador, carriers down there only support ATT

    If anyone can help out there, will be very much appreciate it.
    The iphone4 I bought on Ebay was for AT&T, no contract.  My family in El Salvador have the phone4 and have ask me to find out how to unluck it so they can use any carrier/sim card.
    Can I have AT&T unluck by using the serial number of Phone since I never used it here in the U.S?
    Thank you!
    [email protected]

    Only AT&T can unlock an iPhone.
    The following is from their website:
    What are the eligibility requirements for unlocking iPhone?
    All requests for iPhone unlock must meet general iPhone unlock eligibility requirements before an iPhone can be unlocked.
    AT&T will unlock an iPhone under the following circumstances:
    The person requesting the unlock is:
    A current AT&T customer, or
    A former AT&T customer who can provide the phone number or account number for the account.
    The iPhone was designed for use on the AT&T network.
    All contract obligations, including any term commitment, associated with the device to be unlocked have been fully satisfied.
    The iPhone has not been reported lost or stolen.
    Given the above it is very likely the iPhone you bought may not be eligible to be unlocked at all.
    I recommend you return the iPhone to the eBay seller and demand a full and complete refund.

  • Can I use my iphone as a tracking Device??

    Hi, all out there.!
    I just bought the new iphone 3G
    This iphone is great and one of the best ever of all the time,
    I'm a menufacturing engineer, I used several devices and many computers
    in the past and I haven't seen nothing like it.
    This is my toy I was waiting for.!!
    I've had downloaded several applications already, which they're amazing.
    all you can do with your iphone it's amazing.!!
    THERE IS ONLY ONE THING, I'M WONDERING IF I CAN DO IT.
    It should be able to do it, It has all the tools, I just I haven't seen it.
    I'm thinking like a little application that can be used as
    TRACKING DEVICE.!!
    Can I use my iphone as a TRACKING DEVICE??
    Any body knows out there?
    How? or where is this application??
    DEVELOPERS OUT THERE.!
    Can you develop one if there isn't any??
    Please, let me know as soon as you can.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, Jim.
    Thanks for your info.
    the second link works now.
    I kept trying the first link but I kept getting the same message,
    not be able open page becuase invalid address.
    Anyways,
    Second QUESTION?
    Is that software could be use to track a second iphone?
    see, I have two iphones and I want to give one to my crazy son,
    to track him what **** he's doing.
    I know there are seperate devices that I can do that only., but
    since I have two iphones already, I don't see a reason why to spend more
    money if with the iphones that laready have I can do the same thing.
    Please, let me know if that would work or
    if there is something else available for that.
    Thanks so much again.

    If your cell phone carrier supports tethering with the iPhone, you need to sign up for a tethering plan with your carrier first.

  • HT1386 I can't use my iphone after upgrading to IOS5

    Can someone help?  I can't use my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios5.

    I have iphone 3 GS.  I upgraded the software to ios 5 and the phone is now can't be accessed.  All I can see is the Gray screen says Iphone.  It ask me to set it up, choose your country, wifi, etc.  when I did that, it always stop at the page where it says "Apple activation server is down, please try it again".  Tried so many times but the same messages kept showing up.  Connect it to Itunes, itunes said there is no sim card installed.  I went to AT&T to get the new simcard and it still saying the same thing.  don't know what's wrong with it.

  • How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

    They need to be registered under different Apple ID's.  The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up.  If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset.  Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
    When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device.  You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
    Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before.  Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.
