IPhone 3GS 32GB Locked or Unlocked?

My iPhone didnt come wit a sim inside of it, and im unsure wether its locked or unlocked i do not have another sim to try in the phone, any ideas?

Ebay,
That doesn't tell us where the phone originated - i.e. was it from a location/carrier where officially unlocked phones are available.
Trying an active SIM with the phone will tell you if the phone is functionally unlocked, but won't determine if the unlocking is official or done by hacking the phone.
Hacked, unofficially unlocked phones are subject to being re-locked to the original carrier or permanently disabled if they are EVER updated.

  • My iphone 3gs is locked and after paying it is unlock, but not showing network

    My iphone 3gs is locked and after paying it is unlock from vodafone UK, but showing no service and searching network. Also after connecting itunes follwing message reflects
    There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate.
    Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone.

    Did you get an email from vodafone confirming that the phone is unlocked? Did you put a SIM card in the phone? Did you complete the unlock process as detailed in the email? Did you restore your phone as new?

  • How to buy iphone 3Gs 32gb

    hai,name is amel siregar.. i'm from indonesia..
    i want to buy apple iphone 3Gs 32gb of centers,how to process a payment? here too expensive and whether the iphone isn't locked in indonesia,if i buy direct from apple center isn't in indonesia?

    In Indonesia, Telkomsel is the ONLY official carrier. All iphones officially sold in Indonesia are sold as carrier locked to Telkomsel with NO provision to unlock them. If you want to buy an unlocked iphone, you will have to purchase from one of the locations listed in this support article:

    Bear in mind, if you purchase in another country you will have to return the phone to the country of original purchase for any and all warranty & service work.

  • IPhone 3GS 32GB.... Please assist

    Just purchased the new iphone 3GS 32GB from the Sydney apple store [AU $1040] ... the phone had 3.01 software and I would like to upgrade to 3.1... Is it safe to do so through the itunes coz I'm not sure whether its factory unlocked or locked ?.... Is there anyway to check whether its unlocked or locked?.... I also was able to get cydia installed in it by a technician and was also wondering whether that affect if it will be fine to upgrade through itunes....

    I could tell you to upgrade to 3.1 with no fear. I did and it works fine. I predict that you will also get several posts here telling you to NOT upgrade for various reasons. The only thing I can add is that most people who upgraded have no problems.
    And yes, if you don't upgrade, your phone will probably work as well as it would have with with 3.1.

  • IPhone 3GS 32GB, no service/searching

    I have an iPhone 3GS 32GB, i recently updated to iOS 6.1, and since then my phone is always searching or i have no service, i will get a message saying i need to restore my phone with itunes. I am on GiffGaff network and the carrier setting are all input correctly.
    I will restart my phone and then i'll have the iOS lock screen where i can only make emergency calls from, I cant unlock my phone to access anything, no music etc. Sometimes i will turn my phone on and off and the problem will be rectified, but then it will just lose signal again and i will be forced to restart over and over again until i can acces everything.
    Its very unreliable as a phone now, any help and suggestion would be greatly appriciated.

    These are the screen shots i've managed transfer to myself while i was able to to get wifi.

    It is now locked to the original carrier. Sounds like that was Orange. Only the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize the unlock of the phone. You may be able to use it again on Orange, or if they provide unlock services you may be able to get it unlocked, however I have read of many phones that have been hacked to unlock not accepting the factory unlock. This support document will explain about some of the problems you have been having. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • Bottom row of the keyboard is not working in a vertical orientation on the iPhone 3Gs. the "slide to unlock" and all keys on the calculator on both orientation works fine. I can use the keyboard on horizontal orientation.

    Bottom row of the keyboard is not working in a vertical orientation on the iPhone 3Gs. the "slide to unlock" and all keys on the calculator on both orientation works fine. I can use the keyboard on horizontal orientation. The tabs on bottom of all apps also work fine.
    I have already tried holding down the power button and home button for 10 seconds, but no difference.

    I've had this problem on and off for the last few weeks (around, but not directly related, to upgrade to 6.1...can't remember if was before or after)....I'm very convinced it's a software problem (as there have been times when the bottom row works perfectly, without any need to "press" differently or anything).
    However, it seems to be a rather resilient software issue, as a full restore does not consistently fix it, and it applies to more than just the keyboard; if I open a drawing app, there's definitely a row (about 4mm up from the edge of the screen closest to home button) where I cannot draw.
    It's happened 4 times now.  Originally it went away with a restore from backup, then worked for 2 more days.  The second and third times, it went away with a full restore (although I did two full restores in between those two restores that did nothing, so restore didn't consistently fix it)....and it seemed to return in the most random of circumstances. 
    I paid very close attention to what apps I was using the last time it was working so that I could spot which app, if any, might be causing the issue.  I deleted several apps, I stopped using the games and many other apps.   I only used three apps between it working fine and starting up as a problem again: mail, safari and messages.
    I was convinced it was mail, as it happened this morning when I picked up my phone off the bedside table to respond to a new email.  It was working when I went to bed.  I picked up the phone when it buzzed, hit the email app, hit reply and started to type....**** bottom row wasn't working again.
    However, tonight I did 2 things....one of them worked because it went back to normal (sorry, I don't know which as I was exasperated and trying a number of things). 
    The two things I did between a broken keyboard and a working keyboard were:
    1) adding a second keyboard (English(Canada)), changing to this keyboard, and changing back
    2) disabling Siri...and then turning it back on...and then disabling Siri's "Raise to Speak"
    In retrospect, I wonder if it actually was the "Raise to Speak" that was putting the phone into a weird state, and might explain why the phone would just "suddenly" start behaving strangely when I picked it up.  Of note, the "raise to speak" hasn't actually triggered Siri to come on in months anyway.
    Regardless, the keyboard is back to normal now...and I'm just going to leave "Raise to Speak" off.  I've put the keyboard back to just "English" with no alternates and Siri remains on otherwise without issue.

    Kilted Tim is correct, did you plug it in to iTunes to complete the process?  I assumed you would have done so, but I shouldn't have assumed.

    HELP. My iPhone 3GS passcode lock and forgot the passcode. How to get back?

    The only reason you use bluetooth between iPad/iPhone its to share the internet from iPhone to wifi only iPad.
    In order to see the bluetooth connection, you must first enable the Personal Hotspot on the iPhone.
    Then on the iPhone, open Setting s> Bluetooth.
    Then open the Bluetooth on the iPad adn pair teh devices.

  • ITunes 10.4 Crashes Upon App Sync With iPhone 3GS 32GB & iPad 2 64GB

    I'm using the most recent iTunes software update (10.4.0.80) in conjunction wth IOS 4.3.5 on both my iPhone 3GS 32GB and iPad 2 64GB.
    Both my iPhone and iPad have become unusable.

    Well, yesterday I fixed this. I don't know very well what of all the things I did was the one that fixed my problem:
    When I tried to reindtall Lion it told me that my disk was not able to be used for the instalation so, investigating a lot pf posts, I did all this in order to reinstall Lion and see if iTunes worked properly after this:
    -I removed my Bootcamp partition (used to use Windows XP).
    -I made an empty small partition.
    -Then I was able to reinstall Lion into my main partition.
    -Installed Lion. iTunes started to work again.
    -I removed the small partition.
    I hope this helps someone.
    Peace!

  • IPhone 3gs frozen - slide to unlock frozen - phone dropped - pad lock without circle

    Dropped iPhone 3gs (ios 3.4.4 or previous version - can't remember which one).  Slide to unlock is frozen.  If I press home button twice then reverse, play and fast forward symbols show up on center of screen (but nothing happens when I press on them).  There is a plain pad lock symbol (no circle) on the top center of the screen.  Won't do anyting else.  Any ideas?  Also, the phone will ring...I just can't unlock the phone to answer.  Then the screen shows that I missed a call with the phone number displayed.

    ok no problem looking like you would have to restore the device.
    as long as you have a back up you would be fine.
