IPhone 4 which is ordered online in Canada is factory unlocked?

iPhone 4 which is purchased from apple online store of Canada is factory unlocked? Wether we can use any countries' Micro SIM card on it or not? And how can I check the iphone 4 is locked or unlocked?

That is true in the US and other places where you can buy a subsidized iPhone at a reduced price by committing to a contract of some length. You can buy a non-committment iPhone in the US for full price but it will still be locked to AT&T. In Canada you can buy it commitment free and unlocked. But you will pay full price and any warranty work/exchange must be done in Canada.

    hello..i have purchaes iphone 5 from u.s it's a factory unlocked iphone 5 ..on may14th..it has warranty till may14th of 2014..and i came idia on july and after using the phone for 1moh in india ,when i'm trying to restore it doesn't shows apple iphone menu..it displays the screen image of connect usb cable to restore itunes .and i tried  times and it shows the error (-1)..when i have contacted apple the said bring the phone to us we will replace it with new one....now i can't go to u.s so please kindly help me..as soon as possible...please

    EDIT 2: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen message saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a method for restoring it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes (connect the phone to computer, turn it off, hold both Home and Power buttons until the Apple logo disappears, release the Power button without releasing Home button, iTunes shows a message about an iPhone in restoring mode, restore, etc.). Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…
    Please, help

    If it came from one of the official Singapore iPhone carriers or the online Singapore Apple store it should be unlocked.

  • How to check iPhone 2,3,4 with and without S factory unlock status

    There are many discussion going around people concerned about how they can check that an iphone they got or purchased is FACTORY UNLOCKED here is what they need to do which I recently did
    1. First of all you will be getting signals for any carrier sim you insert into iphone
    2. To Confirm the FACTORY UNLOCK status you require following things
    (a) Latest version of itune
    (b) Latest version of ios download it to you laptop/pc desktop .
    3. Connect you iPhone with itune using cable connection not wifi , Itune should stay open
    4. press SHIFT button on your keyword for Windows and if you are on MAC you are going to hold option button then click Restore button and select the IPSW you have downloaded on your desktop and let restore process begain
    5. Once this is done you will have iphone screen and strat completing the activation screen in most cases you will have carrier shown up on top before the activation process end
    6, ocne done you will see on your Itune screen
    just like attached image in post it means your iphone is factory unlock and now can be used anywhere
    around the world.
    7. Just keep in mind iPhone official support is available to those countries where iphone are officially being launch
    Please comment if this post helps you thanks
    Note: Above process are mostly used for new factory unlocked devices for rest you will get you carrier info on top
    Thanks

  • Can I use idea 3G and GPRS on iPhone 4 in India. My phone is factory unlocked.

    My company has a corporate tie up with idea. My iPhone is factory unlocked. I am using idea for voice calls. Can I use GPRS and 3G on it. Plz guide

    Apple's web site for India does claim that AppleCare is available:
    http://www.apple.com/in/support/products/iphone.html
    Why the carriers and authorized Apple resellers don't seem to know about it I can't say.
    Regards.

  • Iphone 4 at&t can i do the factory unlock

    i av

    Don't listen to these other posters, just follow my directions & you'll get your phone officially unlocked:
    Here's how:
    First you need to start buying AT&T stock, you need to do this quietly so you don't raise any suspicion, you need to purchase enough to gain control. Once you've done that, put in place your own board of directors, fire the current management team, install your own team, change AT&T's unlocking policy, bingo, you've now got your phone officially unlocked. Easy...don't listen to those other posters .

  • IPhone 4 factory unlocked?

    I bought (past year) an iPhone 4 in an Apple Store in the U.S. without a contract at the price of a factory unlocked (despite not actually being unlocked. It only works with AT&T). Does anyone know if I can request the unlock to Apple?

    All GSM iPhones sold in the US are locked to AT&T. iPhones sold directly by Apple in Canada are factory unlocked. You can use them on any carrier worldwide. I have used my one on around a dozen carriers worldwide without any issues.
    Since you are from UAE, all iPhones sold there by carriers (Etisalat/du) are supposed to be unlocked.
    More on unlocked iPhone availability here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
    Apple Store (Canada) iPhone prices are here: http://store.apple.com/ca/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone
    (Note: In Canada, sales tax (lowest is 5% in Alberta IIRC) and environmental disposal fee are additional. Rates vary by province/territory.)

  • Will the unlocked iPhone 6 from UAE-Online-Apple-Store support LTE in UAE?

    Currently I'm trying to buy an unlocked iPhone 6 from UAE Online Apple Store. The unlocked iPhone price was 650 AED cheaper than the local provider unlocked iPhone!
    This makes me wonder why is that? and is there any thing technically different? And the most important question, is this inlocked iPhone 6, that I'm going to order from UAE Online Apple Store, will support LTE in UAE? (Note that all the carriers in UAE offer LTE on iPhone).
    Just to make sure that all the same before I order it.

    Do NOT buy the iphone 6 from UAE store.  It is only unlocked as far as the carrier choice goes.   There is NO FACETIME at all.
    Apple should be ashamed at calling it unlocked!   I ordered one and now they are delaying the return!  It's absolutely no use to me if it doesn't work and is only suited to a market that embraces technology.
    First, the term "unlocked" has nothing to do with which features are available to you. Second, the lack of FaceTime in the Middle East is nothing new. This is a restriction placed on Apple by local governments and carriers for all devices sold in those markets.

  • HT1688 What is the EXACT procedure of getting your iPhone 4 factory unlocked?

    I live in India and I'm looking to buy factory unlocked iPhone4. Are they out yet? Where will I be able to buy factory unlocked? Is there a certain internet store from which i can buy?

    There are factory unlocked iPhones available, and I suggest that you check the Apple store.  A locked iPhone can only be unlocked by the carrier, and it may behoove you to check with a carrier and find out the exact unlock policy.  Another way - one that I do not recommend - is to buy an iPhone in a country where iPhones are unlocked.  I live in Thailand, and all iPhones are unlocked.  The downside is:
    1. The iPhone cost is not subsidized, and the highest-end model sells for the equivalent of approximately $1000US.
    2. The iPhone warranty is only valid in the country in which the iPhone was originally purchased.  So, if you buy an iPhone in Thailand, use it in India and need to have a warranty repair performed, it'll be a nightmare.

  • I had my iphone 4 factory unlocked, why cant i see the apn settings.

    I have a Iphone 4 iOS 6  AT&T that was factory unlocked.
    Went thru the whole process itunes confirmed it was unlocked
    When I went to put my APN Information that option is not available
    If I go thru a 3rd party APN installer I get the internet but no MMS.
    I did the Iphone configurator with no success
    I'm running on a AT&T network, but with NET10 Provider
    Does anyone have solution to this madness..Thanks in advance

    Apple does not give any official method to set MMS Settings even with the ICU Program. You can use the "Sim Swap" method to set MMS Settings but apart from that there is no way (Unless you want to jailbreak the iPhone  which most people don't want to do)

    How can i factory unlock my sprint Iphone 5c ?

    To be clear, you cannot get your phone "factory unlocked".
    In order to be factory unlocked, it is manufactured unlocked to any carriers at the factory.
    Phones that are locked cannot be "factory unlocked".
    They can be carrier unlocked (in some cases as Niel describes).

  • How to check some iPhone is factory unlocked?

    There was a place into the apple web site where everybody could if an iPhone (check using serial number or IMEI) is factory unlocked or not. I used it some time ago, now I'm looking for it but I can't find it at apple's web site.

    You should be able to call AppleCare and give them the serial number. They should be able to tell you if it's locked and who it's locked to.

  • Factory unlocked iPhone 4 now locked!!

    Hey guys,
    I bought this iphone 4 from uk, its a 32gb white factory unlocked iphone. MC606B. When i bought it there was no cydia or anyother app that suggested that it wud be a locked piece. I brought it to india and it worked fine. I just updated my iphone 4 from 4.3.3 to ios 5 and now it says that the sim card inserted in this phone does not appear to be supported!!! the error msg says SIM_LOCKED.
    Is it possible for it to get locked again.
    As far as i know all the MC606B builds r factory unlocked.
    Plz help
    what can i do about it??

    Where in the UK did you purchase it?
    The model number is NOT a reliable indicator of the carrier lock status.
    If you did not purchase it from a corporate Apple Store, then it was probably hacked, not factory unlocked.

  • My factory unlocked Iphone 4 got locked after 4.3.2 update, How do I unlock it?

    "factory unlocked Iphone 4 got locked after 4.3.2 update, How do I unlock it?"
    Do I have to use the apple's fast lane to resolve the issue or is it something that can be resolved quickly using the ITunes or combination of power and home key please advice...

    From where did you purchase the iPhone? Are you certain it really was factory unlocked? I can't say that an iOS update couldn't inadvertently lock an iPhone, but more commonly it would happen with a jailbroken iPhone. If by "from Irvine" you mean Irvine, California, then you don't have a factory-unlocked iPhone unless you purchased it from another country, as there are no unlocked iPhones sold through any authorized reseller in the US.
    Regards.

  • If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) do I have to pre-order online or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

    If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) can I pre-order online now or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

        scodaddy, that is a wonderful question. We are super excited about the new iPhone. You can always pre-order your new iPhone online and then start the mail in rebate by following this link: http://bit.ly/GGnDDC Or you can always go into the store location and do it all in store on the 19th when the phone is launched. That would depend on if the store has them in stock when you go in. I hope that this was able to address your concern.
