Iphone 5s become locked with 02
My iphone 5 has become locked with O2. When I contacted O2, they told me that I can't use my three sim in, they told me that iphone5s become locked with the O2 sim, when I told them that I would like to unlock it, they said that apple haven't issued it yet! what can I do?
Nothing
Apple retail stores and Apple On-line UK are the only source
of unlocked iPhones inc iP5 in UK
All others are locked to a carrier
O2 generally offer unlocking 6-12 months after release of a model
might be longer with iP5 as they cannot offer LTE and
may wish to prevent movement to EE who will have LTE spectrum
Unlocking is nothing to do with Apple
Carriers lock the iPhone only they can unlock it

can we unlock an iphone which one locked with an icloud email address and password.I have no idea about the email address and password for the icloud.can any one help me about this.
It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked. This article explains:

If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password. This is an anti-theft measure. -

You probably will not be able to find the owner. Turn it into the police.

thx
The same way you would contact anyone. Call them, e-mail them, speak to them in person, write a letter. There are many ways to communicate with a fellow human.
No one here would have the contact information for a random seller of an iPhone. -
Ipad Stolen- should I lock it or erase it? Also, if uphone shares same apple ID, will the iphone also become locked or erased?
Thank you!It prevents a thief from accessing your software and data, but unless it has iOS 7 installed it will not prevent the thief from erasing and restoring it for his/her own use.
If you have iOS 7 installed even if the thief cracks your passcode, they will need to know your Apple ID and password to use it, otherwise, it's bricked. -
restore wrong backup on my iphone and it locked with icloud account and i can't get the password, any help?
Hello Hoppayoppa
You would need to have the owner of that iCloud account to turn off. It can be done without them there. Check out the article below for more information. After that is done, you can put the correct backup on your iPhone.

What is the error number in the error message? To reset the phone you must press and HOLD both buttons for at least 10 seconds, and longer until an Apple logo appears.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I believe you are asking about the new Activation Lock feature and you are trying to disable this so you can activate your device. The attached article will provide more information regarding this feature and the steps that need to be processed.

sir,
i have updated my iphone with itunes, then in last my iphone has carrier locked.
so i want to unlock my iphone.The only time an iOS update will carrier lock an iPhone is if that device was previously hacked to unlock.
Contact the carrier to whom it is locked, find out their requirements to unlock and if you qualify. -

I did send a lock command to my iPhone several months ago - but it didnt work because I did not have iCloud enabled. But I am seeing a "padlock" with a circle around it at the top of my display over to the right side next to my % battery.
Do you have the portrait orientation lock enabled? This sounds like the icon for that. Download the new iPhone User Guide for iOS 7 from the iBooks store (Free) and it shows all the icons that appear in the status bar.
