The unlocked iPhone 4S did not go on sale in the US until 11/11, and then only through Apple.com in the US.
I don't know if it's available at retail yet, but I don't believe it is.
As you've been told, you purchase a phone locked to AT&T. You can NOT activate it or use it on any other network. AT&T does not unlock iPhones for any reason. Return it to the store you bought it from and get your money back.

I had bought iPhone 4 from OLX. When i had deleted iCloud account and restored my iPhone it is still asking me about Apple I.D to activate my Phone.. Why is it so..?? Suggest me a possible reason for my Question so that i may continue using my iPhone...
I dont have any contact detail of that person whom i had bought this phone..If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

I have a new computer. I have copied Itunes library from an external hard drive. Itunes now tells me I cannot sync with my Ipod as it thinks the 20gb on the computer are different to the 20gb on my Ipod touch! What have I done wrong? How can I fix it? Alan

I have bought an iPhone 4 from my sister. How do I reset it (delete her contacts) and load my contents etc?
Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
Then set the device up from scratch using your data - either sync with your computer via iTunes or iCloud. -
Please help me to solve the problem, I can't update to iOS 7.1

How To Do The Unlocking Process On AT&T Iphone 5 Without The Original Nano Sim?
My sister is a regular customer of AT&T in North Carolina, USA. She bought Iphone 5 from AT&T. And after the "contract is finished" my sister avail another newer model of iphone from AT&T and she send the iphone 5 to me, here in Philippines, without the original nano sim. her son get the original nano sim of this iphone, and end up in the thrash can when her son avail newer version of iphone TOO fro AT&T... I ask my sister to contact AT&t to unlock this phone so that i can use in our country. She comply and contact AT&T for a request to unlock this device, and AT&T replied to the request. After a day AT&T send the "UNLOCKING PROCESS" to my sister. She email me the Unlocking Process sent by AT&T. I tried to unlock the device using the unlocking process sent by AT&T and the methods on the apple site >> iPhone: About unlocking but, to my dismay itunes and the iphone always respond me with the message "ACTIVATION REQUIRED" and "INVALID SIM" after restoring the device in itunes to IOS 8.0.2 or doing the the unlocking process.
Is there any other way to unlock this "Iphone" without its original sim?
This are the photos of the responses of AT&T regarding the request of my sister and the UNLOCKING PROCESS >>>>>>>When i placed my old AT&T nano sim,( not the original sim came with the device when puchased), This SS is the result in itunes>>>>>>

bought iphone 4 from dubai 6 of turkey, but want to upgrade to version 5 if I upgrade using the iphonum is closed
If you bought your phone from an official source, like a carrier and not in some 'market / ebay', then you can update with no issues.
If you bought it from other than a carrier then you have to take your chances. -
My mini died. bought one used from a friend... all of my songs and books are on my iPhone, and I cant figure out how to get them onto this new computer. this is frustrating. the things i really want are purchases I've made from itunes store... help
!!!!!Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

i bought iphone 5 from somebody and i can't contact him again and i didn't know his icloud account to activate my mobile,so what shall i do?? please help
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
you need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it. -
hello my frend, i dont know what i have to do. I bought iphone 4 from ebay and it is locked can you help my to unlock ?
<Edited By Host>Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock
it. Contact them to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Apple does not unlock iPhones - wireless carrier has this responsibility. -
i had bought iphone 4 from singapore and now i am relocated to india.....there is some hardware problem in the phone due to which i m nt able to use it.....how do i give the phone for repair and in which country?
The warranty is not international and only available in the Country of purchase .If the iPhone is out of warranty Apple or their Agents will also only give service in the country of original purchase.
So if you want Apple help you will have to return it to Singapore or find a 3rd party to repair it if they can in India as long as it is out of warranty and you understand that Apple would never help with that device in future if it has been opened by a 3rd party -
Hi
I have bought an Iphone 4 from ebay. It was listed as brand new and on o2. The phone has never been activated but it won't take an o2 sim, in fact I've tried the majority of the UK networks and it just keeps saying sim not supported please insert the original sim. The seller is very unhelpful and I'm a bit lost now. Can anyone help? I'm an iphone novice, am I doing something wrong?The only option here is to contract 02 and ask them why the phone won't work. If the phone is supposedly locked to 02, then they are the only ones who can help you. Try contacting them to see.
If they can't help you, then I'm afraid that you have been had on ebay and it is never a good idea to purchase iPhones and anything of an expensive nature there - you can never trust what people say.
You need to contact the seller and either ask for the original sim card for the phone and if the phone is actually locked to 02 or you just tell them that you are returning the phone for a full refund.
If the seller is not being helpful, then you can file a dispute with ebay and ebay will then sort it out for you and you should be able to return the phone for a full refund.
Bottom line: Don't buy an iPhone from ebay and if you want an iPhone on 02, go to an 02 store and buy one - they have plenty in stock - my local branch has iPhone 5's in stock and they still have the iPhone 4's if you want one. -
I bought iPhone 4S from Kurdistan Iraq while I worked there now I retired and came back to my country India. Few days ago the rear camera of my phone is not working, it's shutter is not opening. It's less than a year I bought it. What to do now?
First try one of these methodes:
Try to restart your iPhone
Hold the power button and slide to turn off, then turn it on
if you still have the same problem then try the second methode:
Reset Settings of your device:
Settings>> General>> Reset >> Reset All Settings
Make sure you reset only your settings and NOT any other Contents
if you still have the same problem, so it seems to be a hardware issue, take it to the nearest Apple Store.
Kind regards -
Dear Apple Support,
I bought Iphone 4S from Poland and I can not activate my Iphone in Astana, Kazakhstan and can not use my Iphone in Astana.
Please, Can you help me?
Best Regards,
Danalyk ZhakeyThis is not Apple support. It is a user to user forum.
It would seem that you bought a phone that is locked to a carrier in Poland. You would either need to contact this carrier to discuss unlocking, or return or sell the phone and buy an unlocked one. -
