IPhone 6 Plus T-Mobile version is not internationally unlocked!

I bought an iPhone 6 Plus from the Apple Store in Dec. 2014.
I've done the research that people are saying T-mobile version from Apple Store is unlocked.
However, when I bring it to Taiwan and plug in a local SIM card it asks for an unlock PIN.
Then, I called Apple. The Apple technician told me it's found "domestically" unlocked.
So I can use it with ATT, Spring, etc in the U.S.. And if I want it to be "internationally" unlocked,
I have to contact T-mobile because the lock can only be taken by the carrier.
Therefore, I contacted with T-mobile. They said they require an active T-mobile number that associates with that iPhone to unlock it!
I said I'm outside of the U.S. and I want to use the phone now. And you know what, they ask me to call Apple for it! !@$!@$
Now I'm stuck, any suggestion?

Only T-Mobile can unlock it, so you'll likely need to do what they ask to unlock it.
People don't know carriers/cellular providers are arse****, but they are.
this is an extract from the iPhone page, it shows that your iPhone 6+ is a different model and that it only works without being fully unlocked in the US Only
About the Unlocked iPhone
The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a wireless contract commitment or a carrier installment plan. You can activate and use the unlocked iPhone on the supported wireless network of your choice, such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or Sprint in the United States.
If you don’t want a multiyear service contract, or if you prefer to use a local carrier when traveling abroad, the unlocked iPhone is the best choice. If you choose T-Mobile, your iPhone comes with a T-Mobile SIM card already installed. You will need to contact T-Mobile or visit an Apple Retail Store to activate your iPhone.
Otherwise, the unlocked iPhone does not come with a nano-SIM card for iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, or iPhone 5c so you’ll need to get one from any supported carrier worldwide. To start using your iPhone, simply insert the SIM card into the slot and turn on iPhone by pressing and holding the On/Off button for a few seconds. Then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your iPhone.
Purchasing an unlocked iPhone means you will not qualify for the lower iPhone price associated with a contract or a carrier installment plan. The unlocked iPhone 6 model is A1586. The unlocked iPhone 6 Plus model is A1524. The T-Mobile iPhone 6 model is A1549. The T-Mobile iPhone 6 Plus model is A1522. For details on LTE network support, please see www.apple.com/iphone/LTE.
To help decide whether the unlocked option is right for you, compare wireless service plans. Or call our iPhone Specialists at 1-800-MY-APPLE.

Mobil version will not be generated

However everything is right adjusted but the mobile version are not working.
It is running on a test system and the url is 25.erstesweb-demo.de.
After i done the upload to my server only the destop version will be shown on my S2.
Although the settings in the page-settings are correct, but the sitemap.xml do not show any files from the mobile version.
Many thanks for help, i do not have any idea what could be wrong.
Muse is running in German version 2014.2.1.10
Regards Heinrich

I investigated further and found:
I downloaded the tutorial "CC Getting Started Muse Mobile" and tested it.
Compare to my system the were some differences:
1. index.html code, witch was not in my system'
<script src="scripts/museredirect.js?17485671" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
Muse.Redirect.redirect('desktop', '', 'phone/index.html', '');
</script>
2. also the sitemap.xml shows entries from the "phone"-Directorys. (my sitemap.XML has not)
3. So i load "CC Getting Started Muse Mobile" in my muse
4. Saved it und upload it to 24.erstesweb-demo.de
5. But it dose not show the mobile site on my S2 too.
now I despair
Is there any help outside ???
Thank Heinrich
I have done some work at night and this are the results:
Generally, muse is a fantastic Program. But:
1. it is not so common in Germany
2. it has some bugs, they really bothering during the daily work, but they could be fixed easily
I really can't say, the switch mechanisms between mobile and desktop view does not work at all well. So I have developed my own script. It is maybe not perfect, but it works on all phone, which were available for me.
One Bug is really bothering:
regarding index.html and site properties
If you add code, the code will be added on the end of the <head> section, but it should be added on the beginning of the <head>, because some commands will be only executed, if they are on the top of the <head> section. E.g.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">.
Another possibility could bee a checkbox, to choose whether the insertion is on top or on the end inside the <head> section.
I really would like to promote muse in germany. But I never was able to get in contact with an adobe manager, to talk about...
Germany is a big marked, but the most of designers or not so experienced to communicate in English. So, free tutorials in german would be very helpful.

Why does my browser keep on opening things in mobile version and not desktop version?

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the Safari icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit Safari again.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
rm -fr $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.Safari
Quit Terminal. Launch Safari and test.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
(Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that will have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

My iPhone 5s recognizes my fingerprint but does not always unlock.

Hi,
My iPhone 5s recognizes my fingerprint but does not always unlock. Sometimes it will unlock, and sometime it won't. It does not even give the "try again" message. Unrecognized fingerprints will give the "try again" message. Entering the passcode works fine.
Any ideas on correcting this?
Thanks.

Can anyone confirm if the iPhone 6 plus T-mobile contract free will work in Asia (Philippines and Singapore)

I bought this iPhone last November, model is A1252. During that time, apple said it's contract free and I used T-mobile because Im in the US.
But last January, Apple released the unlocked version A1254 if Im not mistaken.
Question is: Will my iPhone 6 plus tmobile (A1252) work in Southeast Asia and Europe? Particularly Philipppines, Singapore, and France

Apple has not yet released an unlocked iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. Whether or not you can make a T-Mobile phone work for you, just pay your money and take your chances...some say it will, some say it won't. As for me, I'm just being patient and waiting for Apple to release the unlocked version, which they will, sooner or later. Chill...

IPhone 6-Plus (8.3 IOS) will not be recognized by iTunes 12.1.2.27 on Windows 8.1. APPLE Genius appointment resolved nada. Suggestions???

I am using:
iPhone 6-Plus (8.3 IOS)
iTunes 12.1.2.27
Windows 8.1
When I upgraded this phone from Sprint, the sync was stopped by the tech and now I cannot enable wi-fi sync because the Sync now is grayed out. See image. SYNC BUTTON does not work.
I cannot get my music or tones.
Email keeps giving errors that I need to put in my passwords.
I cannot Backup my iPhone to iCloud either.
What should I do?
How would I back up all my email contacts, text phone #s, get all of my prior apps, get all of my ringtones and music (not purchased through iTunes).... I NEED HELP!

It sounds like the driver for the iPhone wasn't installed properly after the update. Here is the article you're going to need to use: iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
It's likely that the first couple of steps aren't going to solve the problem. You're going to need to follow the steps under "Verify that the Apple Mobile USB Driver is Installed." You'll just need to re-install it.

MOBILE VERSION DOES NOT WORK!!!! Is Adobe not aware that encrypted forms fail using mobile reader??

I created a PDF Form in Acrobat Pro 9, and encrypted it with a password. No other restrictions were placed on the document.
When I open the document on an android device (tablet or phone) or an iPod, it does not allow me to fill in any of the fields or apply a signature of any kind.
However, when I open the same exact form with the desktop version (Reader XI), it does allow me to fill it out and sign it with no problem.
I have no problems filling it out and applying a signature with a mobile device when the document is not encrypted.
PLEASE HELP!
I have updated all my versions to the most latest.

Yes, apparently Adobe is aware of this.
For Adobe to omit such basic functionality to its mobile version is appalling.
I would have expected this from Microsoft, but not from Adobe.

IPhone 6 plus iOS 8.2 will not stay on home wifi

I have had to shut all cellular data off. All laptops work fine at home this phone and my sons will not stay connected.
Thus ran data up before we noticed.

Hi Riverbuny,
As an initial troubleshooting step for issues with Wi-Fi on a device, I suggest you first update your iPhone to the current iOS version, 8.3.

IPhone 6 Plus unlocked us version from T-Mobile works internationally ?

i am willing to buy an Unlocked iPhone 6 plus from US T-Mobile .. but i travel so much out of US ... so i was asking if iPhone 6 Plus Nnlocked us version from T-Mobile works in all countries all over the world or just in US networks ?
thanx

An unlocked iPhone will work with all carriers, but may not be operational on all frequency bands around the world. For example, there is not a fixed standard for the 4G/LTE bands around the world so you may not have LTE service everywhere.
There are mixed claims about the non-contract T-Mobile iPhone 6...some users are reporting that they had to activate the T-Mobile iPhone using a T-Mobile nano-sim, use it for 40 days on their network, and then get T-Mobile to unlock it. Some others say theirs came unlocked and worked on AT&T out of the box. So, it is anybody's guess as to which is correct.

My iPhone 6 plus will not pair with my macbook air 2014

My iPhone 6 plus gives a message unsuccessful not supported when I try and pair with my macbook air.
both are running up to date iOS and OS X.

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

Mobile version of community

Hi Everyone
I am pleased to announce that based on the feedback we got from community members we have decided to reinstate the mobile version of the community. So you can now access the forums on the move again!
It is important to remember that the mobile version does not provide all the forums’ features and functionality, but it is a scaled- down mobile-optimised version. This will allow you to access the community and perform key tasks on the move, such as reading, creating and replying to posts.
See below for our Frequently Asked Questions about the mobile version of the community.
Thx
Kerry
Frequently Asked Questions for accessing the community on a mobile device:
How do I access the community on my mobile device?
You should use the same URL you use to access the main community – www.bt.com/community
What devices can I use to access the community?
You can use any mobile device to access the community, but the user experience is optimised on devices which use a WebKit browser, including AppleWebKit for iPhone and Android, S60 Webkit for Nokia, and IE Mobile for HTC. To optimise the mobile experience on Blackberry and other devices, Opera Mini can be downloaded, which will enhance the way the community looks on your device. Further details on device compatibility and suggested browsers is included at the end of this FAQ message.
What tasks can I complete on the mobile version?
The mobile version is intended to keep you up to date with the community when you are on the move. This means that key functionality is available, but you cannot perform all functions that are available on the main site. Key tasks you can complete are as follows:
Sign in/out of community
View boards, threads, and messages
Create new thread
Reply to existing threads
Mark messages as read/unread
Give ratings
Send and receive private messages
Search the community
Follow other members (add to friends); See who is following you
Change certain mobile settings:
Turn on/off private messages
Subscribe to topics I post to
Create a mobile specific signature
View your profile
View existing bookmarks
Link back to main bt.com site and Help site
Why can’t I do everything on the mobile version as I would on the desktop version?
The mobile version is intended for ‘on the move’, easy access to key functionality of the community. Access on a mobile device needs to be quick to load and easy to read on small screens, so we have removed some of the extra features and functionality you normally see on the main site in order to achieve this. For example, the modules you see on the right hand side of the main site such as ‘top rated posts’ are not available on the mobile version as there is not enough space on the screen.
How does it work? If I post on the mobile version will it update on the main site?
Yes – the mobile version links directly into the main community site so any posts, replies, and PMs that you send will automatically be updated on the main site.
Do you plan to add any more functionality to the mobile version in future?
There are no immediate plans to add any further functionality than what exists in the current version. However, we are always looking to make improvements to any services we offer so if you have specific feedback on additional functionality you would like to see on the mobile version, please send me a PM.
What should I do if I have any problems using the mobile version?
If you have any problems using the mobile version we would recommend posting your query in the Forum Guidance and Ideas board when you’re with your PC so other members can give support and advice. The moderator team can also respond here if needed.
How secure is my data?
User details are stored securely and encrypted in the community system. The mobile version of the community is subject to the same tests as the rest of the community site and was implemented using the same security best practices. Members are reminded that they can control what profile information is viewable by others via their user settings.

128gb iPhone 6 plus shipping

Like many, I ordered an iPhone 6 plus 128gb on verizon's site just after pre-orders opened (8 mins past) and got a Sep 19 delivery date on the confirmation page and on my email confirmation. But the VZW order tracking page now tells me it's shipping on October 14th. I was one of those who was caught up in the fraud flagging mess-up - and couldn't get through to the fraud team to clear the order until around 930 CST. I absolutely need my phone delivered by Sep 24th due to travel so am really concerned. Hoping VZW's fraud team didn't delay my order... has anyone had firm confirmation that a 128gb iPhone 6 plus is due for delivery on the 19th yet?

Unfortunately, no. I ordered within the first hour for a iPhone 6 plus, 128 GB version. I received three different communications (Order Summary, Order Confirmation and a followup Order Confirmation email) all which said a 9/19 delivery. The verizonwireless.com website showed a 10/14 ship date the following day. This morning it now says,
We received your order and it is in process. Expected Ship Date: Not available at this time. So it is getting worse, not better.

IPhone 6 Plus T-Mobile version is not internationally unlocked!
