Hi Guys,thanks for your replies and suggestions. I had bought the phone from my nephew as he had upgraded to an Iphone 5. It has come to light (after many days of strife, frustration, and visits to various mobile phone shops, without success). The Iphone must be unlocked from the original Itunes account IE the original owner of the phone, not the person who buys it. I hope this information will be helpful to others who find themselves in this situation in future. None of the staff at the O2 or Vodaphone shops or online support could tell me why the phone would not unlock. The message I was getting on the phone was telling me the phone could not be unlocked at this time and try again later. If problem persists contact customer services (Apple.....good luck with that one with a second hand phone over a year old). My phone has now been unlocked by my nephew after a whole load of hassle Thanks Guys. Paul.
That has always been the case, the original owners needs to unlock the phone thru the carrier. One of the qualifications is that you have use the carrier service.

My iphone is frozen. will not power off or respond even after charging.

My iPhone is Frozen. Does not power off as well. What can be done to fix this?

Try a soft reset, press and hold in the homescreen key (Circle button at bottom of the iPhone) and power key (One that locks the screen as well as turns it off and on) at the top, together and hold it till the screen shows the Apple logo, then release the keys, this should hopefully resolve.
Let us know how it goes.

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! Why is my interests being put last and Sprint, Verizon

The unlocked IPhone 4S models will not be available until November, Why is that? Why would Apple do that? I should be able to buy a factory unlocked Apple iPhone 4S when it comes out! I travel all over the world, and so that is why I need one like that. It is unfair to the consumer, and frankly turning away customers like myself willing to pay high dollar to Apple for their product, who can I speak with to complain about this, because I know their are factory unlocked iPhone 4S' sitting in a warehouse somewhere just waiting to be shipped, and I want one. I know why, cause Apple signed contracts with each carrier so the carrier could increase their sales making customers sign 2 year contracts, I get it, I own my own business, but the delay of releasing factory unlocked ones is just not right and I should be able to buy one without having to buy it over in the UK where it is unlocked when it comes out right away, I should be able to buy it in my own country! These business practices we practice in the US need to stop, their is a demand that needs to be met with consumers like myself who don't need subsidized iPhone's with 2 year contracts with carriers and don't mine paying full price for an unlocked one, it is unethical in a sense, forcing the customer to buy it with a carrier contract and NOT giving the customer the option to buy it full price and own it themselves, OR, making the consumer wait a month for that option to be available. THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!! THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!
Apple can contact me and I will proudly pay for one. But making me wait a month for an unlocked one, puts AT&T, Sprint & Verizon's interests before mine, and that is not right, for it is MY money that keeps you guys in business, so my best interests should come first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand your frustration, but when any form of rationing is required you have to prioritise. The number of unlocked vs packaged phones will be quite small and the number of unlocked buyers wishing to upgrade immediately will be smaller still. Against this you have the corporations sharing $billions between them.
It would, you're correct, have been fairer to release all at the same time, but fairer doesn't come into it: it's business.

Apple does not unlock iPhones - only the carrier to which the iPhone is
locked can initiate the unlock. You will have to work with Orange UK to
get your iPhone unlocked and there is no other legitimate way to get the
iPhone unlocked.
Enjoy the spam the spiders will send you - not wise to put your email
in a public forum. Same for publishing your phone number.
Forum etiquette is that your question will be answered
in the forum and not emailed to you. That procedure is used so that someone
else searching for the same problem will see any responses here while
they would not see anything emailed to you.

Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature.

Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature. What is the issue?

It won't recognise it at all, but luckily I backed up very recently.
I've booked an appointment with an Apple store who promise a working iPhone within 10 minutes of your appointment, whether fixed or a brand new iPhone.
Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll leave the question unanswered incase people have any other suggestions or similar issues.
Cheers.

HT1430 my iphone 4 will not unlock

My iphone 4 will not unlock. It switches on, accepts the code then says 'unlocking please wait' but does not unlock.

Try a reset. Hold Sleep/Wake button and Home button down until Apple logo appears. No date will be lost.

Updated my iphone 4 now it will not unlock with pass code

Updated my iphone 4 with latest ios now it will not unlock with pass code.;

Enter the correct passcode and the device will unlock every single time.
If the passcode has been forgotten, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.

HT201401 My iphone will NOT unlock with my CORRECT passcode.

My iphone will NOT unlock with my CORRECT passcode. I can't even backup and restore on itunes because it's locked. What can I do? Does anyone have experience with this and know how to fix it?

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode

iOS- Understanding passcodes
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Bell Canada will not unlock iPhones.

On December 19th 2012, I tried to get Bell to unlock my old iPhone 3GS, Bell is openly telling their customers that they cannot unlock old iPhones because Apple will not allow them too, as long as I (current Bell customers) are under any kind of contract with Bell. Bell says Apple will not send them the "unlock code" to allow them to unlock the iPhone. I learned that was a flat out lie from an Apple customer service person that I called as soon as I hung up with Bell.
I have learned Bell is the only company in Canada that will not unlock iPhones, I have seen on the Internet that they are considering changing there rule for unlocking iPhones. I'm just wondering why Apple is allowing Bell to put Apple in a bad light like this when it is a flat out lie against Apple, hurting their reputation.
If anyone has any info on this subject feel free to let me know.

Nor will Virgin unlock iPhones. When I asked a customer rep at a kiosk I was told Virgin does not unlock phones.

After ios7 update, phone will not unlock even after 3 button reset?

I have an iPhone 5. Ever since the 7 update, when I lock my phone it will not unlock. Then i have to use the 3 button reset ( home, lock, volume ) to restart it. But more often then not, I have to let my phone sit for hours for it to restart because I cant restart it manually. Anybody else having this issue?
