Iphone 4 auto sim locked
I bought from Orange Romania an neverlocked Iphone. Worked fine with Vodafone Romania SIM until now. Without any message I've got sim error message.
SIM works fine in another phone. IPhone works fine with Orange SIM. It seems like is autolocked. Is this possible??
I bought an neverlocked device! What happened if I was away and my phone locked, an emergency happening?

my iphone 5 won't accept my sim card. I have taken it to a verizon store and, I was told apple has to unlock it. Because, its sim locked
Only the carrier it's locked to can unlock it. Apple won't provide assistance with this unless they accidentally sent you a locked phone as a replacement for an unlocked one.

Officially unlocked iphone, now sim locked again !
Some time ago I bought a officially unlocked G3 iPhone on eBay,
I know that it was officially unlocked because since then I have updated the software, as well as using the "restore" feature as soon as I bought the phone.
Now with the latest update (3.1.3) that I just used, my iPhone is now sim locked to t-mobile here in Germany !
I have also inserted an T-Mobile sim card and restored it with my last backup. The phone is still locked to T-Mobile only !
Does Apple or the carrier actually unlock the phone, whats the procedure that they use ?
If I took the phone to telecom (T-Mobile) without a receipt and they refuse to unlock it, can I still somehow get apple to unlock it.
Thanks for your helpThat is why I am reluctant to buy mobile phones from Ebay. There will always be complications down the road, since you are not the original purchaser. Most companies state in their contract, that certain rights & privileges extend only to the original purchaser, and not third parties. When comes to buying phones, I always buy them myself. I end up paying a bit more, but I always have piece of mind.

The voice activation wil not allow me to type in the numbers for some reason. I have turned it off and on about 7 times now. please please please can someone help me?
If you bought the iphone in the US and it is locked to a specific carrier, then you can't use a different sim (from another carrier). Is this your situation?
Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean by "trying to unlock my SIM". In which country did you buy the iphone? Who's your carrier? -

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

Hello! The question is this. In London, took the Iphone 5 as sim free, flew to Moscow put Simcoe, and he writes me that is locked to the operator O2. Can anyone encountered this problem? What to do? How to remove the Unlock?
<Edited by Host>Look at your receipt. Does it say unlocked? It is possible to purchase both locked "sim free" and unlocked iPhones from Apple.
ONLY the carrier an iPhone is locked to can legitimately unlock it.
IF your receipt says that it was supposed to be unlocked, and it is not, call AppleCare. They should be able to straighten it out. -
i had to get an internet conection from a friend to download akll my apps evrytime i sync with my pc wich already had itunes all apps except statup are gone only thing left was an i tunes song i brought from itunes each time i use my apple id pass word it tells me to retry i do this 4 to 5 times and some times have no success my latest issue was my sim locking buy itself then asking me to put in a sim without a lock , i only have 1 sim i brought 2 phones and have had no issues with the other phone and when i do have the original startup apps i can not move or arange them thru itunes apps and i cannot use sim from other iphone pls help evry1 i ask wouldnt have a clue because there having there own dificulties
If you also backed up to your computer - you can restore from that backup - to retrieve the files. As far as I know- that should have no bearing on deleting them from iCloud - they should still be in that backup.
If you used iOS file sharing with your computer - and saved the files to your computer - you can retrieve them from there.
if the only place that the files were saved to was iCloud, I know of no way to get them back. -
I accidentally erased my phone from Find my Iphone App and I have a sim lock on my phone - now it wont let me restore. any ideas?
When I try to connect to itunes, It states ''The sim card of this phone is PIN locked - please enter the PIN code of your SIM card and connect again to iTunes" however I don't have the option to enter the Pin code on my phone as on my phone screen it states "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporaily unavailable"
PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOUWith a sim lock,
you'll have to contact your carrier for the PUK code, as described here:

How to unlock an iphone 3gs when it's sim locked and the lock button doesn't work???
I bought this iphone 3gs off an app. I just want to use it as an ipod. it is sim locked (with two attempts left) and the lock button doesn't work at all. What can I do? I just want to use it as an ipod.
I have also tried everything. I took the sim card out and put it back in again. And I have also left it out. And I have tried connecting it to itunes but I need to unlock. (some of these were suggested by the seller)
Please help me.
imMy guess - and this is completely a guess - is that the SIM in that phone has a PIN that was added to it by the previous owner. Whomever you bought it from didn't bother to check for this (or didn't care) before they got it from the previous owner.
You need to get a new AT&T SIM for that phone - you could even borrow one from a friend if they have one that will fit the phone. You would only need the SIM to activate it.
There is no way to activate an iPhone without a SIM in it, even if you don't plan to use it as anything other than an iPod.

i have problem with my iphone, it;s never lock and not read sim card, before reinstaling 6.01, thnx juliany
If you are both on the T-mobile network, the sim card should work. If you did a Erase All Content and Settings, then she should be at the point of activation as a new device...talk to T-mobile and be sure the sim she is using is a valid sim card.

I bought an iphone 5 from apple store in Geneva to use in Turkey. But it is sim-locked. What can I do now. Please help urgently.
Return it to the store where you purchased & get your money back. Either that, or call the store. No one here can help you, as there is no one from Apple here.

I have iPhone 3GS, no sim-free, and it locked (tried to update to virsion 6.0). How can I unlock it?
What do you mean how can you unlock it? If it was truly "sim-free" it would not have locked when you updated.
ONLY the carreir the phone is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them if you haven't managed to brick it entirely now.
