IPhone contract expired but doesn't unlock! Help

Hi all, I am from Macedonia.
I have bought an iPhone 4 16gb, and it's carrier is T-Mobile Bulgaria.
The contract is expired a long time ago but the iPhone is still locked.
I have been searching for T-Mobile Bulgaria but never found something about it.
Here are my iPhone info:
IMEI: 01*********43
Activated: Yes
First Activation Date: October 9, 2011
Last Activation Date: October 17, 2011
Last Activated SIM: T-Mobile
Telephone Technical Support: Expired
Repairs & Service Coverage: Expired
Contract: Expired
Firmware Version: 5.0
Carrier: T-Mobile BG
SIM Lock: Locked
Can somebody please help me on this issue?

1. The IMEI is automatically erased. Why shouldn't I show the IMEI? I am new to the iphones.
Because millions of people read these forums, and not all of them are honest. Knowing personal information like IMEI puts you at risk of identity theft or phone spoofing. It was not erased automatically, it was removed by a forum host who noticed it (probably with the help of a high point forum member).

HT1414 I have an iPhone 3GS and I got a confirmed unlock request with AT&T they said just hook to iTunes and restore and backup and it should be unlocked but doesn't unlock. Any suggestions?

Yes, setup as a new device.

IPhone contract expired, want to switch providers, now what??

My 1st generation iPhone contract has expired. What process do I take in order to change providers, yet maintain the ability to upgrade software, without unlocking, jailbrakeing the iPhone?

It isn't possible for your two year contract with AT&T for the first generation iPhone to have expired. The first generation iPhone was released on 6/29/07. If you purchased your first generation iPhone on the release date, your two year contract won't expire until 6/29 this year.
Doubtful that AT&T will unlock your iPhone regardless, but if they do, the only other GSM network provider in the U.S. that comes anywhere close to AT&T in terms of the number of subscribers and national coverage is T-Mobile.

Transfer all of your content to the computer:
Tunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer

Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:

If the item is still there, you may need to restore the device:

Hope that helps . Worst case scenario, you may need to write into iTunes support to see if they can also help!!

When I lock my screen it says phone is locked and whenever I click anything it reads it out but does not let me slide to unlock the screen often but when it does it just reads of my pass code and letters but doesn't unlock my phone .

A Voice is reading everything that I click on, on my lock screen out loud but doesn't let me slide to unlock ect i canny access the phone

Hello TaylerLauren,
I read your post, and it sounds as though the Voice Over feature has been activated. I have linked to an article that will instruct you on how to use it, and the location in Setting where you can turn it off:
iOS: Configuring accessibility features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5018
Voice Over information from the iPhone User Guide:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPhone without seeing it.
VoiceOver tells you about each item on the screen as you select it. The VoiceOver cursor (a rectangle) encloses the item and VoiceOver speaks its name or describes it.
Touch the screen or drag your finger over it to hear the items on the screen. When you select text, VoiceOver reads the text. If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the item and provide instructions—for example, “double-tap to open.” To interact with items, such as buttons and links, use the gestures described in Learn VoiceOver gestures on page 130.
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the first item on the screen (typically in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen becomes locked or unlocked.
Note: VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in International settings, which may be influenced by the Region Format setting in Settings > General > International. VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.
VoiceOver basics
Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPhone. When VoiceOver is on, you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPhone—even to turn VoiceOver off.
Turn VoiceOver on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, or use the Accessibility Shortcut.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I have the email confirming iphone is unlatched but need to unlock through itunes. To do this, do I use old sim or new sim? I have backed up and restored but there is no message from itunes saying the phone is unlocked? Please help

I am having problems unlocking my iphone 5. I have received an email from my old provider confirming that the phone is being unlatched and I need to complete the process through itunes. I have backed up and restored but I have not received a message from itunes stating the phone is unlocked. Do I use the old or new sim card while connecting to itunes or does it not matter. I dont know what else to do to finish the unlock?

You can use either, but if you restored to the backup, then you will not see the message. You need to restore the device as new first, then restore the backup. Make sure you can continue with the unlock first. Many of the emails report, "Your unlock has been approved, restore your device in iTunes in 24 hours", or something like that. If it is ready to go, then as I said earlier, restore as new first, and then you should see the confirmation.

Itunes movie rental on iPhone. Expired but continues to download.

I downloaded a movie on my iphone through iTunes. I was able to successfully watch the movie. 48 hours later the movie rental expired, yet itunes continues to try and re-download the movie. I've watched the download process a few times. It downloads the whole file (1.5GB), moves on to processing and then there is an error message that it is unable to connect to iTunes.
How do I remove this movie from the download queue?
Thanks,

If you rent it on your iPhone then it will download onto your phone, films from iTunes aren't streamed.
For rentals you have 30 days to watch it, but once you start watching it (even if you only watch one second) you then have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, to finish watching it before it expires.

After update iphone says syncing but doesn't sync

Hi. I just updated to the the new itunes. Now I cannot sync any music to my iphone (4s). It says syncing but no music shows up on phone. I have tried to drag songs over to iphone list on right had side, but no luck. I have tried starting in airplane mode as others suggested, but no luck. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall itunes again? I had to do this when I couldn't get the itunes to download. I have windows 7 also. There is no error message, it just doesn't do anything. Thank you.

in the iTunes window, select your phone, then go to the "music syncing tab". Ensure you have your music set to sync.

Iphone says restore but doesn't appear in itunes.

i was using my iphone when all of a sudden it shut off. when it came back on it showed the symbol that suggests i needed to connect it to itunes, even though it was already connected and just wasn't showing up. it will only let me make emergency calls and says imei: unknown and iccid: unknown. originally it just said that i needed to enter a pass code, but the phone isn't showing up in itunes and i can't do anything on the phone except for make emergency calls so i can't enter a passcode. now it's saying restore needed but again, when i connect it to my computer it won't show up in itunes.
help please? i don't know what to do. i've had my iphone for about a year and a half, and i got it from rogers, it wasn't like a jailbreak phone or anything, and it was working fine up until today when out of the blue this happened. anything i can do?

New iPhone. Nothing but trouble.! Help.!

Hi, 2 days ago I purchased a 16GB iPhone 3G. I did manage to register it using iTunes 7 and I then updated to iTunes 8, This prompted me to update the software on the phone. I started to do this and part way through I got the 'blue screen of death' and the pc rebooted. This left my iPhone with no software and completely unusable. I tried many times after to update but with no luck (my laptop) now wont boot at all. I tried updating on a friends Mac but it again would not update my phone. I have since tried on 2 other pc's and each say the iTunes update server cannot be reached. Right now I'm wishing I'd stayed with a Nokia. Anyone have any ideas please.?

Go back to your Nokia..........

IPhone 4 charging but doesn't show signs of charging and wont connect to windows pc

Hi. I tried to charge my iPhone 4 today however it didn't appear to be charging. I tried different cables, chargers, computers, turning the phone on and off - including holding the home button and lock button down simulationsly, but still wouldn't work.
I later realized that the phone was in fact charging as when I went to check it later the battery percentage had increased. However there is no evidence of charging when it is plugged in i.e: there is no charging icon in the battery bar at the top. Furthermore, the phone won't connect to itunes and isn't even recognised by my laptop. It just acts like it's not even plugged in (when charging and when plugged into my laptop). Any ideas of what might be the problem?
Many thanks
Harry

Hello Plimmer4
Check out the articles below to first get it recognized and then troubleshooting the charging issue. If you can get it recognized, check to see if there are any updates that can be done to improve that connection.

IPhone 4 sleep button doesn't work -help

My Iphone4 on/off button is not working. I cannot put my phone to sleep, to turn it off I have to use voice control, and to turn it back on I have to stick it on the charger. I tried resetting it but that doesn't work. Does anyone have a suggestion or has had the same problem.

If you've done the usual restart, reset, and restore, and those haven't worked, it's time to bring your phone in to get checked out.

Iphone 4 tries but doesn't sync contacts on windows 8

Hi;
I just upgraded to windows 8 and have discovered that my iPhone will not sync with my contacts & music on iTunes. It connects, goes through the motions and says that it is syncing, but no changes occur. Is there a "cure"?

Flash flashes but doesn't load - help

I have put up a new site ( we bought it and reimplemented it)
and one game is not working. It flashes and doesn't load.....
Any ideas?
It's the crossword puzzle on
http://www.vocabulary.co.il

We wrote a new home page to make it work but we are NOT happy
with our solution. The original home page had security in it so if
people bookmarked the .swf files, their session was forced to start
at the highest level.
There was also other stuff but we took it all out to make it
work. Now we'll slowly put it back in.
