I bought two Iphone 4 in Sydney Apple Store, Australia. And I bring back to Indonesia cause one is for my sister and one for my mother. I bought them full prices. But when I try to put in the new simcard one of them is said simcard doens't match but the other seems works fine. Can anyone help me with that

I have an Iphone 4s factory unlocked. I got At&t again and after updating to iOS 6.0 my iphone its not working propertly. I dont have the carriers option nor Im able to face time using cellular data. Any suggestions!?

Do you have an AT&T carrier file number showing? The only time you can use Facetime on AT&T cellular is if you are using one of their Shared Data plans. While they have not locked your phone, it appears their carrier file is in control of your device when you have the AT&T SIM card in there.

Cannot activate iPhone 4 factory unlocked

I bought an iPhone 4 factory unlocked in an Apple Store in Califórnia 2 days ago. I brought it to Brazil and I cannot activate it for the first time. It says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.". I tried to do it via iTunes and nothing also. What should I do?

You in fact purchased a locked iPhone. Your receipt is the key that confirms this:
"No contract Sim". Apple Canada sells both: contact free(what you purchased) and unlocked. Your phone requires a Canadian sim to activate, and once activated will be locked to that carrier. It is merely "contract free". You have thirty days to return your phone and get your money back. I'd suggest you start figuring out how to do so.
The price you paid has nothing to do with whether the phone is locked/unlocked. Further, there is no one from Apple here and even if there were, no one from Apple can help you. Your phone is locked, was purchased as locked and needs to be returned as it won't work where you live.

If I had my iphone 4s factory unlocked, and then reset all the settings, will it still be unlocked if I give it to a fellow servicemember?

There is generally a misundersting this area
there is no such thing as as a factory unlocked iPhone
there is an iPhone which has not been carrier lock as has
been available outside the US from day one
there is no evidence in OP that he purchased NOT locked from Apple

or call Apple care in your country and they MAY be able to tell you

IPhone 4 Factory Unlock Approved by AT&T but I need a little help

Today I contacted AT&T to get my wife's iPhone 4 Factory Unlocked (version: 4.3.5 firmware: 04.10.01) and I met all the requirements for getting it unlocked but the Tech Agent from AT&T said that in order for the Factory Unlock to be completed I would have to plug in the phone to iTunes and do a Backup & Restore to complete the process.
I went to do this but before proceeding iTunes said that if I completed the process that the Restore would install iOS 5 on my wife's phone which she would prefer not to do if it were possible.
I have always had a problem with iTunes. Everytime I back it up it seems like I either loose pictures, or movies, or Apps or something and so I am hesitant to even touch iTunes let alone upgrade to iOS 5 on her phone.
I am hoping that someone can teach me how to use iTunes properly or point me to a video series that would explain all the ins and outs of the various versions of iTunes so that I can learn it lock stock and barrel or that someone will help me understand how to complete this factory unlock effectively.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Thank you ever so much! It worked. iTunes congradulated me on my iPhone being Factory Unlocked! Now it brings me to my next question. My wife wants to use the phone on T Mobile. If she wants to do this do I follow iTunes suggestion to "Set Up as New iPhone" or do I follow the option to "Restore from iTunes Backup"?
I'm guessing that if I Set Up as New iPhone that she will loose all her apps and such. But if that is what is needed so that it will work on other GSM providers then that is what I will do for her.
However if the Backup option will allow her to keep everything she has on the phone and still use it on any GSM network that she would like then I will do that.
I respect your advice and follow it. You have led me right thus far. Thanks a Billion.

Model MC321LL Factory unlocked or Locked ?

I would like to know if this model is factory unlock or locked version - Model MC321LL

AT&T does not charge to unlock iPhones. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. If you paid someone else to do so, it was hacked. The warranty is void and you can no longer get support here or from Apple. If you attempt to update or restore it, you will most likely find yourself the proud owner of a paper-weight.

Will there be a iPhone 5s Factory unlocked?

Hi,
Will there be a iphone 5s factory unlocked phone?
I go over to the iphone 5s page and scroll down to find that it says Contract free T-Mobile,
Does that mean it will work with att? I dont want to get the phone from att becuase i dont want a contract at the moemet, and i will be traveling out of the U.S this december for a month and i would like to use my iphone 5s there with service,
I talked to a apple rep right before this and he said it will only work with T - Mobile because it says the sim is already installed,
And i asked him if i can use it for att, and he said no because the iphone 5s doesnt have a simcard slot that you can take out like with the iphone 5
which doesnt make sense because tmobile and att both run on sims.
Thank you very much in an advance!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (hopefully with some factual information via a weblink), but there is currently NO Factory Unlocked iPhone 5S for sale in the United States. Factory Unlocked (aka. "Sim-Free") is only offered for the 4S and 5C.
All customers can purchase an iPhone 5S from Apple or respective carrier for the full retail price ($650+) and those devices will be internationally unlocked but locked to the carrier you pick.
In my case, I purchased an AT&T iPhone 5C at full retail price. I did not sign a new contract, pay an upgrade fee, etc. My phone, when plugged into iTunes tells me it's Unlocked. Again, I don't have a T-Mobile Nano-Sim to test if it's fully unlocked (domestic & international) but it's safe to assume I will only be able to use my 5C in the USA with AT&T.
Does this mean that the phone can never be fully unlocked? Probably not - I imagine all carriers and 3rd parties will be able to unlock the device (per-carrier terms, etc.).
Hope this clears up any confusion.
*Contract-Free T-Mobile is not fully unlocked either. T-Mobile no longer has contracts so Apple cannot present the T-Mobile version in the same space as the other carriers on their website. T-Mobile, like the other carriers, likely have the ability/option to fully unlock your device upon request (per-their carrier terms).

IPhone 4S Factory Unlocked Query

Hi folks, so I ran into this situation below:
I bought the iPhone 4S factory unlocked at full price of $649 from the Apple store at Yorkdale Mall in Toronto, Canada and they even told me it was factory unlocked. They asked me if I needed one of the Big 3 sims, but I politely declined. I bought it because I visit the US quiet often and I am with Bell Mobility. I activated the phone on Bell but before going to the US this weekend, I had a hunch that something is wrong. I called up Apple and provided the serial # based on the receipt/on the phone and they said the phone is locked to Bell.
So does that mean its permanently locked to Bell and cannot be used with another carrier? Or does that mean it is locked to Bell at the moment?
Plus I told myself people usually don't pay full price for an iPhone from the Apple store that's locked to a carrier, and Apple usually sells the carrier ones at the subsidized contract pricing. Or do they even sell carrier locked ones for full price?
Any input on this will be helpful.
Cheers

I have had a similar problem. I live in Uganda , but quite travel a lot. I bought an unlocked iPhone 4s from Apple Store Broadway, Australia for 899$ . It was activated at the apple store , but we did not put in a sim card.
Back in Kampala , I put in an Orange Uganda SIM card , which was in my iPAD , and it worked for some time.
After sometime , we bought a sim card for it, from Orange Uganda , but unfortunately it did not work. It asked for activation.
After troubleshooting for sometime , we dicided to reset the phone , and everything is now down. I can not even start the phone without a sim card.
I am waiting for Monday to call the Apple Store, because clearly , this would be unfortunate. Remember , I live in Uganda where there are no Apple Stores , so a visit is out of the question

Hi have iphone 4s factory unlocked wifi greyed out.. need permanent fix pls

have iphone 4s factory unlocked wifi greyed out.. need permanent fix tried everything but not working... what would e the cost of repair ??

It has no correlation. You do not have to have an Apple ID in order house an iPhone. An Apple ID is only needed to use iCloud and iTunes & App Store on an iPhone. You can have an iPhone set up as new, no user data whatsoever, and still connect to wi-fi.
Making a new Apple ID had nothing to do with fixing the wi-fi on your iPhone. It's like saying that putting a new driver into a car suddenly fixed the transmission problem.
