IPhone 4s Factory unlocked or hacked?
I have purchased a used iPhone 4s (Model A1387 EMC2430, Model in Settings>General>About>Model = MD242DN). How can i check whether it was factory unlocked or hacked?
Well if u update the operating system to iOS 6.2, and it goes okay, it's factory unlocked, but if you can't call/text with it anymore its hacked. Also if u r using Tmobile or something not covered by appleد, go to settings, then carrier, and if it says automatic and your carrier, it's factory unlocked but if it has another carrier option too, it's most likely jailbroken

no cellular data tab . cannot use internet airtel gsm , iphone 4 factory unlocked plz tell me how to set the apn settings
There is no need to manually set the APN settings for Airtel. The settings are already in the phone since they are a supported carrier. if it's not working, contact Aritel.
Where did you get the phone? If it was hacked to illegally unlock it or jailbroken, that might explain why it does not work. -

iPhone 4s white 16gb
Factory unlocked
Firmware: 3.0.04Sorry, that message means your phone is not officially unlocked, but rather was hacked to unlock it. That's what happens to hacked iPhones when updating or restoring software: they are relocked to the carrier they were originally locked to. That's what has happened to you.
Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking. You will have to determine what carrier this is & contact them. There is no other solution & Apple cannot help you. -
How to find out if iphone is factory unlocked
How to find out if iphone is factory unlocked

You did not get your iPhone unlocked by a third party - you had
your iPhone hacked which voided your warranty and opened the
iPhone to malware and other interesting attacks. -
I I bought an iphone 4s factory unlocked. Can i set it up with my sim card in canada then take it out and bring the phone to iran without any problems?
A legitimately unlocked iPhone should work with any compatible 3G GSM carrier. The iPhone, however, is considered 'restricted technology, and cannot be legally taken to Iran.

Hi,
I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. I have a 3G plan but most of the time it switches automatically to EDGE. Thats when i have to either switch Airplane mode - On/Off and then it acts normal. Any permanant solutions to fix this problem?Return the iPhone personally or via friend/relative/co-worker who is in
the US. The warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase - the USA
in this case. Apple will not accept international shipments for evaluation nor
will Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
How did the iPhone from the US get to you in India? Reverse that process to
get it back to the US so someone can take it into Apple. -

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.
