I Bought 2 Iphones in USA ( Unlocked from Factory ))

I´m from Brazil . I bought 2 Iphones 4 in USA . I tested one of them in USA so it´s now locked. The other one that was not tested is OK ( unlocked ).The second one was turned on just in Brazil. Something said it´s a common problem since the Iphone is unlocked from factory
The locked Iphone does not recognize any SIM card from Brazilian Carriers.
Can anybody help me ?

Please clarify. From where did you purchase the phones? The statement that you tested one of them in the US, so now it's locked, does not make sense.
The iPhones sold at Apple Stores are NOT necessarily unlocked. They can be sold locked to a carrier but without a contract, unlocked, or locked to a carrier with a contract. They do not lock on first use.
It sounds like you purchased carrier locked phones, in which case they are locked to AT&T. ONLY the carrier can unlock them and AT&T will NOT do so under any circumstances.
If you are getting an "unsupported SIM" message, the phones are locked to AT&T. You will not be able to use them.

No. Return it and get your money back if still within the 30 day return window. All US iPhones are carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked.

I bought an iPhone 4s last November from your New York store (IMEI number ).
It has now malfunctioned (the wi-fi button is grated out and so the wi fi
cannot be switched on). I have been told by the Polish Apple store that they
would be unable to repair it or replace it as it was bought in the USA. it is
still within the warranty period. could you advise me as to the newt steps
please? Can I send it to you by courier and if so please provide me with the
relevant details.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

Ah, the dangers of trying to save a few bucks. Warranty is only good in the USA for phones purchased in the USA.
Three options.
1. Fly to the US, go to an Apple store, and have the phone swapped.
2. Send the phone to a friend in the US and have them go to the Apple store and have the phone replaced.
3. Buy a new phone in your home country where the warranty is valid.

I bought a iphone in usa now i´m in australia, what can i do ?

If you have a problem with it, there is nothing that can be done until you return to the US. The warranty on an iPhone is only valid in the country in which it was sold. Apple will not provide service, replacement or support in another country.

That does not have anything to do with it.
The warranty is only good in the U.S.

they said leap year added extra day so too late out of warrenty, sorry but can sell you new one i called apple said same , a company that big should take care of customers the origanel receipt should of said under date of purchess warrnty to end date following year,

That's strange, because no where in the iPhone's limited warranty does it state "365 days", but it does state 1 year. I think the only way they could get out of that is because of the battery, which is not covered by the warranty. HOWEVER, it is stated on AT&T's website that claims are handled from 31-365 days, which would explain why the Apple people acted as such. I know you have Verizon, but since it is (essentially) the same device, it's under the same warranty.

Many people have had stories about issues happening as soon as their warranty expires, with products in general.
I'd just consider upgrading, and selling your old one.

Will iPhone 5 (Verizon,unlocked) from U.S work in India?

I am planning to purchase iPhone 5 (Verizon unlocked) 16GB from U.S to use it in India.I will be using the 3G service available here.Will the phone work with other GSM carriers available here provided it's a nano sim?My friends are saying that they purchased iPhone 4 unlocked from U.S ,it didn't work in India.Now I am confused.

You can find that info yourself if you go to this address:
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone
Mind you, I might be wrong but it looks like you do need to buy the iphone with a contract which means it wouldn't work in India. So in short: If that's correct, then you'll just have to wait until it's available there.

I bought an iphone 5 in Sept at Best Buy, after a few hours it lost power, so I returned it. Even the new one lost power after a few hours if left on. I do not have bluetooth on. I must always have it shut off now until I go to use it. Any suggestions? Is this normal?

I bought an iphone 4s wont activate from old users icloud

My wife bought an iphone 4s on craigslist and now it will not activate because of his icloud acct. I tried to email him with no response. please help.

Without having the password for his Apple ID or getting him to sign on to iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone there is no way to activate this phone. It is called Activation Lock.

Iphone 4s official unlocked from at&t could not activate

After the official unlock my Iphone 4s, I can not activate my Iphone. I send you Screenshots with problem.
ITunes says: "Your request couldn’t be processed. We’re sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later."
IPhone Says "Could not activate iphone' 'You Iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable"
This goes on for several weeks. On different computers and different wi-fi networks. On the same network successfully activate other iPhone. This Iphone Not activated as a SIM card AT&T, and with the local simcards. i trying restore iphone in recovery mode many times. This Iphone never be "hacked'
My name is Artur , i bought this phone on eBay , but I'm not the resident of USA . ModelNumber: MD271 (white 4s, 64), SerialNumber: C3*******TDR
This iphone official unlocked before activation.
The answer from one of the forums:
Good evening. I looked your Imei.
This is a problem more and more often. The fact is that when you first activate the phone is logged into the database of the operator to which he is attached to the server and Apple.
If you do the unlock before the first activation, the phone is removed from the database of the operator and to the base of Apple, he never misses. As a result, the phone just hangs in the air.
And it can not pass activation. Itself it does not pass. I know of only two ways to resolve the problem.
1) Call to Apple.
My friends say that engaged Fix this problem, but his services are worth $ 100, so I did not check. But the reviews are good. In your place, I would have called in Apple.
I called AT & T, they said they do not have access to the activation server Apple
I called Apple, the conversation lasted more than an hour, but the problem persists. Maybe they did not understand me because of bad language.
Please help.

"12/13/12 We regret to inform you that since yesterday afternoon the Apple server has been updating. This creates a slower than normal process time, we anticipate that the service will be back to normal no later than tonight"
I saw that somewhere. could be the reason why?

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 can I know if my iphone 4 is locked or unlocked from factory ?

this is my IMEI :
thanks and sorry if I posted on a wrong forum discussion
<Edited by Host>

There is no way to tell based on IMEI, serial number, model number, or any other information you can provide here.
As already suggested, look at your reciept. If you bought it from an unauthorized source, ask whoever you got it from.

IPhone won't unlock from sleep

I got my 8Gb iPhone on the 29th and it's been working fine until yesterday when it started to not respond to the unlock slider. Slide, slide, slide. No response, but sometimes a very delayed response when the slider finally moved across.
I called Apple tech support today, and the young man told me to try resetting the phone by holding both the home and sleep keys down until the Apple logo appeared. I did so and the logo stayed on for a couple minutes, and then the home screen appeared.
I tried putting it to sleep and then it unlocked with no problem. Looks like that fixed it. I just wanted others to know this in case it happens to them.
Powermac G5 2.0 GHz Dual Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I used a Dremel #7103 Diamond Wheel Point bit to cut
a slot through the glass and then using a jeweler's
tool manually moved the slider to unlock the phone.
Worked like a charm.
I did a double take. Took me about 5 seconds before I figured it out...
