Iphone 4, unlock via IMEI

I bought an iphone 4, but I'm using it in Costa Rica, how I can unlock via IMEI for use in Costa Rica

All AT&T iPhones are locked to AT&T.
AT&T has never offered unlocking and has not indicated in any way that they ever will.
Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
If the device was being used with a different carrier, then it was hacked to be unlocked.
No support can be provided via these forums for hacked devices.
Sell the device and purchase one that is officially unlocked if you want/need an unlocked iPhone.

  • HT4994 how can I know my Iphone was unlocked?

    how can I know that my Iphone was unlocked with IMEI?

    ONLY the carrier it was originally locked to can authorize unlocking it. When they inform you the unlock is ready, plug it into your computer with iTunes and restore the phone. You should see a message to the effect 'Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked'.
    Anything else is NOT a legitimate unlock.

  • After the iPhone 4 for ATT is. Unlocked with imei does that make it factory unlocked or will it relock to AT&T when I update phone ?

    If I reviewed a unlock with the imei for AT&T with the iPhone 4 and now it is successfully unlocked through iTunes will I lose the unlock of I update to new iOS or will it remain unlocked ?

    Yes I called AT&T did the official imei unlock I called apple and they told me it should be unlocked web I did the restore like they prompted me too I had a AT&T sim thinking I needed to activate it with it
    Then apple told me it locked I had to redo the unlock with att but this time I used a Tmobile sim and then it told me iPhone successfully unlocked so I was wondering now that it should not relock back to att of their sim goes back in the phone

  • IPhone 4 via IMEI blocked?

    Hello,
    first sorry for my bad english.
    I have applied one, I'm 2 weeks ago my iphone was stolen. the only thing I have now are my backups and my IMEI number.
    The police has also been informed.
    Now I wanted to ask whether it would be possible to locate my iPhone via IMEI?
    Even though now the "new" owner may use a different SIM card.
    This would help me do all the work a little.
    Since this is the biggest Apple forum with a lot of experienced users here I thought I would ask here directly after the best.
    Many thanks to apologize in advance.
    With best regards

  • HT4061 find lost iphone via imei number

    I was stolen an Iphone 5, anyone know how to find it via Imei or serial number ?

    So instead of taking personal care of your things like an adult you signed over the rights to your friend and used their infomation on your phone and they aren't "Friends" enough to sign you out/off the device? My good sir/madame that isn't apple's fault, that is User Error.
    It's stealing because they do not belong to you; they belong to your friend. You got yourself into this mess because you skipped over hte paperwork, work your way back out

  • My iPhone serial number and IMEI is not the same as Apple server

    Hello,
    My problem started when I want to unlock my iphone 3gs via Imei.
    My old iphone broke about a month after i bought it (it was 2 years ago), so i sent it to Movistar to change it (i think that they sent it to appleCare). Now Movistar told me that i have to send the old iphone imei in order to unlock the iphone i have now, i ask apple for the repair order receipt, then i received an email and i could see the information about the 2 iphones: the old broken one and the new one.
    Then I realized that the iphone they sent me as a replacement (the new one) is not the same iphone i have. The serial number and the Imei are different, so, should apple change this data in their server in order to unlock my iphone or what can i do to solve it?
    There is any formal way to perform this data change?
    Thank you in advance,
    Francisco Marzabal

    Here we work with repairs for devices that does not have waranty (expired or other issue). In this case, I did the screen replacement. No other ipad was on my station, the ipad arrives, i took it change the glass, put everithing back, give to customer. Thats it. The job was done by me, the customer test his ipad in front on me, works fine, everything ok. Few days pass and he came back saying that it wasn't his ipad, he brings the box that the ipad came and ask me why the serial number does not match the serial number in the box (sorry NOT in the back of the ipad).
    There were no other part changed only glass. After 7 years working on this, thats the first customer complaining about a work done here. After this I was curious and look for more information and some forums, also one port here is claiming that the serial number on the device is not the same as the box where it came.
    I just want to make sure that there are possibilities that there could be such mistake during the packaging process.
    Thanks for the replies

  • HT201328 IPHONE 4 UNLOCKING PROBLEM ORANGE TO VODAFONE NETWORK

    Hi
    My problem is I had finished my contract of 24 months with orange/EE &amp; payed £20.42 to wait for a confirmation email that did arrive after 2 weeks with unlocking process via iTunes.
    So I wanted it unlocked so it could be used with a Vodafone microsim as a gift to my  dad so I bought a new Vodafone micro sim because I had to order a new microsim with all my dads details on it &amp;  I did what the orange email said in steps but I (never got a congratulations your iPhone is unlocked) message but I noticed it did say Vodafone uk network on top left of the iPhone 4 screen.
    But the Vodafone microsim was not the number I wanted as Vodafone had to change all the details from a standard size sim to a new micro with all my dads details as he wanted to keep the same mobile number so seeming that it was showing the Vodafone network signal &amp; all working I finally received my dads  new Vodafone microsim with all his details etc that was on the standard sim that was in my dads old phone but when I ejected the Vodafone microsim that was working  I bought that was brand new &amp; like I stated was working on the iPhone 4 &amp; swapped it for my dads new micro Vodafone sim All I get is "NO SERVICE" So I went through the exact same steps on the email for unlocking my orange locked iPhone 4 again  as I did with the first voda sim but I get " No service ". I'm sorry to bother you guys especially XMAS day but its a gift for my father today as it's his Vodafone number he wants to keep on the sim they sent so I phoned Vodafone &amp; they said the sim needs activating &amp; could take 30 mins to 24 hours. But it's been over 24 hours &amp; Ive turned the iPhone 4 on &amp; off but still no service plus I reset network settings &amp; rebooted the iPhone a few times
    It must be unlocked because  the first Vodafone microsim that I bought new recently  worked but its strange &amp; extremely  frustrating that my dads new Vodafone microsim still says. "NO SERVICE"?
    Would you be kind enough to help me if you have any idea what I've done wrong or is there anything else I'm supposed to do or could do to get this other new Vodafone Sim working. Sorry to bother you guys but you seemed to know a lot about unlocking so i thought I'd ask you. If you can help in anyway I'd be so very very grateful as I'm running out of time  
    THANKYOU
    Merry Christmas &amp; Happy New Year.
    Sent from my iPhone 5s

    Nothing to do with Apple what so ever 
    Only the carrier ,in this case Vodafone can authorise the unlocking of the iPhone
    The IMEI is the vehicle not the  phone number
    However to allow approval Vodafone probably  need to be able to
    see the IMEI active on their network
    You could consider buying a PAYG sim become a customer active and on
    their network and then try a new request

    Call your service provider, they'll ask about the contract and IMEI, they'll then charge you since you want to terminate the contract.
    In less that 14 business days, it will be unlocked.
