When I tried to sync my 4G iphone factory unlocked to iTunes I got this message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?" Should I hit "Download and Update"? or "Learn More" ?

I have a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS (eg: purchased from Apple). I received the same message at some point and eventually (after reading a bit more) accepted "Download and Update". No problem. No apparent bad effects. It just seems to update things specific to the carrier (Bell Mobility in my case).

IPhone factory unlock doesn't work

I've an iPhone 4 (sunrise). I contacted sunrise to unlock my iPhone, they confirmed via Email that the iPhone is unlocked. But it doesn't work, I restored the iPhone and put the sim on, but it doesn't work...

I had a similar problem (official unlock did not work) and it was recently resolved with Apple's help. AT&T approved my unlock nearly 5 months ago and since then we tried repeatedly - using every method suggested here and elsewhere- but we never got the Congrats message and the phone did not work with other SIMs (such as TMobile and SIMS from other countries).
AT&T wouldn't talk to us because we were no longer customers. After about 40 restores and 5 months of this headache we gave up. Then one late evening recently I went to the genius bar. I took all the paperwork, which inlcuded a printout from AT&T's website which showed that the request for unlock had been approved 5 months ago and that we had been restoring in futility since then. After much, much imploration and with Apple's help, my problem was finally solved.
Moral of the story: There are legit instances when an official unlock from AT&T does not go through. The conversation that needs to happen between the phone company and Apple once the unlock is approved sometimes never happens and your phone remains locked despite the approval. If you find yourself in this situation, do one or both of two things:
put in another request with your phone company (if you can) and try Restoring again
open an AppleCare case. It is worth it at $20. I was lucky and I didn't have to pay (but I had waited 5 months; your patience may not be that extensive). The service is effective and efficient.

TS1398 i had my iphone factory unlocked and ever since then i can join any wifi network?

my iphone will not connect to any wifi network since i got it factory unlcoked

The question is who did the unlocking? Your carrier or someone/some places?

HT1937 i have an iphone 5 factory unlocked, bought 3 months ago. Now it is stuck on searching for signals. Nothing happens whether i switch on/off airplane mode, no message of (NO SIM INSERTED) appears even if i put out the SIM trey out of the phone. plz

iphone 5 stuck on searching

How/where was the iPhone factory unlocked? Did you recently
update the iOS version or restore the iPhone? Has the iPhone
been jailbroken?

HT4993 Can i get factory unlock my iPhone 4S at sprint carrier locked

I want my iPhone factory unlock at Sprint Carrier locked, to use any gsm carrier sim worldwide.. Is there any way to officialy unlock it

What part of:
"No Sprint model iPhone can be officially unlocked."
Do you not understand?
There is nothing more I can add to this thread. If you want an officially unlocked iPhone, you have the wrong model. Sell it. Don't want to do that? You're on your own
Good luck.

Factory unlocked iPhone 3G, iOS 4 support tethering?

Some of us knows that during the 3.1.2 all iPhone Factory unlocked phone had their tethering disabled. and only when 3.1.3 came out, we got back our tethering option for Factory unlocked iPhones.
will tethering be available for iPhone Factory unlocked after iOS 4 update?
Thank you in advance

Allan
Your advice is about all I can think of doing. I have a friend in Milan that the phone can be sent back to. I have a funny feeling that when I get the phone back I'll have the same issues.....
I can get a antenna replaced here in the UK for about GBP60....but that would invalidate the warranty.
What is a lingering doubt over it being a hardware issue is why would it work perfectly with one contry's SIM and not anothers ?

Can i unlock my iphone to be factory unlock

hi there
please can appel make my iphone factory unlock and how
regards
bilal

As stated in previous posts in this thread that you just jacked,
only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock
it. Google Orange or T-mobile for the appropriate location to find
out if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. Since you got to
this forum, you must have internet access and hence can use
Google as well as we could.

IPhone4S Factory Unlocked Activate Prob ?

Hey,
i have an iphone factory unlocked from france Model n° MD239F/A when i connected to activate via iTunes it asked me the original sim card cause mine doesn't support for this activation so i tried all of france Sims and i find that it locked ( or opened ) using Bouygues Telecom ? but not activiated it like bypass the activation step. and after it opened i tried to put my card sim it told me activation required ?
Does any one know why is that ?

You are using an iPhone on a non-supported network. A number of items supported with an iPhone on AT&T's network are not supported with an iPhone under T-Mobile's network regardless if this worked previously.

I could not follow the AT&T instruction because my network (Optus) doesn't have anything as username or password or dial-up phone number. The only parameter I needed to key into Mobilink (the software I am running on the S10 is the APN which is: connectme that's it no number, no PIN, no password, nothing else.
How do I tell Windows to do that?

My brother used his Verizon Wireless SIM to activate my factory unlocked iphone 5s. Now, I can't access the cellular data network option to change APN settings for my new carrier. Already tried configuration utility and factory resets.

So as the title says, after I got my iPhone 5s from apple, factory unlocked, my brother used his sim card in it for a moment to allow it to be registered and usable on WIFI until I made it to Japan. Now that I have a data SIM card, I have to input specific APN settings, which are located in settings>cellular>cellular data network, however, cellular data network is not available as an option. I have reset the phone multiple times with and without backups and with and without the new sim in the phone. I have also used the configuration utility to try to put the APN settings in the phone. I contacted Apple and they didn't really have an answer as to what i should do. My brother checked his Verizon account and my phone does not show up as one of his devices, so right now I'm stuck with and incredibly expensive iPod. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to remedy this? I am unable to contact Verizon via telephone myself as I have no phone service. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

You only have to clone your mac when using certain cable modem. You don't clone your mac when using dsl.

Sorry, downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple, thus there is no official way to do so. Your phone was re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to because you hacked it to unlock it. Apple's servers detected such & re-locked your phone. You need to contact the carrier your phone is locked to if you want to get it officially unlocked.

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.
