I bought an iPhone 5 in Dubai as an unblocked phone. When I arrived in my country, I discovered that it was blocked. What can I do, as Dubai's store doesn't reply my messages?

I bought an iPhone 5 in Dubai as an unlocked phone. When I arrived in my country, I discovered that it was blocked. What can I do, as Dubai's store doesn't reply my messages?

When you say the iPhone was blocked, do you actually mean it is locked to a carrier, or do you really mean the iPhone is blocked from use?
Thie is the second post from someone buying an iPhone in Dubai and then having problems with it and with support.
If you cannot get the seller to respond, try contacting Apple support at the appropriate number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and see if they have any help to offer.
Warranties on iPhones are only valid in the country of sale so any support will really require returning to Dubai, or sending the iPhone to someone in Dubai to handle it for you...Apple will not accept shipments from another country.

I bought an IPhone 4S in Tripoli, Libya. Even when the brochures (in English and Arabic) said that it has FaceTime, this app is not in the phone.

Hello:
As I said, I bougth my IPhone 4S (it's my first IPhone). In the brochure inside the box, it is mentioned FaceTime Application (in both English and Arabic), but the Icon is not there. I checked with another collegaues that also have the IPhone and they have the icon to run the app, but not my phone.
I would like to solve this issue, and I believe that Iphone should have a technical solution for it.
Regards and Thanks in advance!

Check Settings>FaceTime>On and Settings>General>Restrictions>FaceTime>ON. On the 4 & 4S FaceTime is accessed through contacts. Go into your Contacts, access the contact you want to FaceTime with and you will see a tab at the bottom of their contact card. You can also access FaceTime by going into your Phone app, select dialling keypad, dial number, press call and an option for FaceTime on the keypad will appear. It should be noted that FaceTime has been removed from iPhones sold in some Middle Eastern countries at the express wish of the respective Governments.

Bought a iphone 5 and had it restored,im stuck at activation screen,i contacted the owner and no response so what can i do

just need to figure out if apple can delete his account or somehow restore it

Nothing. Until the previous owner removes the activation lock, the device is useless to you; Apple won't remove it unless presented with the original receipt of purchase, and unless you're the registered owner, proof that they're dead.

I bought an iPhone while overseas, but I'm back living in the states now. It seems that FaceTime and iMessage is not enabled on it. How do I get it to work now that I'm back in the states?

I did buy it from someone in Jordan. So they might have got it from KSA, or UAE, or it even might be the same rules in Jordan. I don't think the imessage works even, every time someone sends me a message from their ipad it says "Not delivered". Maybe I am wrong?

I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never work properly, I cant put turn it on. When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software. Now, they have the Iphone for repair.

Now, they have the Iphone for repair at Movistar. The questios is, If I bought a NEW Iphone why they gave me a Iphone with this problem. I asked about the warranty but they told me that Apple doesn't respond. Please tell me something. The IMEI is: 013071008363505 is a Iphone 4S 16GB. Black.

I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.

This device does not have a sim card in it. Could this be the reason or am I missing something when I am trying to update.
Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

I just bought an iphone 4s in surat india.the phone switches off itself atleast 2 times in a day.at times the problem is that when it goes to sleep a person trying that number gets a dialer ring.Hence he seems that i have not picked up his call

i just bought an iphone 4s a month back
the phone gets switched off on its own atleast 2 times in a day and when we press the home button it gets started.
when it is in the switched off mode, a person calling on it gets my dialer tone. He feels that i have not answered his call and has gone as a
missed call on my phone. But in actual, i have never received the call nor its presence is there as a missed call on the "switched off" iphone 4s.
Hence the caller feels that i am not answering his call nor even calling after i see his missed call
this is a very grave problem i am facing
please help me out.

Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
Have your friend the provided the phone contact them. Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked.

I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

What happens when you insert the SIM card? Where did you buy this iPhone 5S? Are you sure it is not already locked to a carrier?
According to Apple, ANTEL is not a supported carrier in Uruguay - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
