i have iphone 5 carrier locked to sprint so how can it be factory unlocked ?
what is a good way to unlock it as i am in UAE now

Don't waste your time, as I've already stated, Sprint WILL NOT autrhorize the unlocking of your sim slot.
You wasted your money. Return the phone for a refund, if you can, otherwise, sell it to someone that can use it on Sprint's network in the US.

Is the new iPhone 4 carrier locked?

Hi guys, i am from jamaica, i was planing to buy one when it comes out... want to know if the new iPhone 4 carrier locked?

You don't have the right to buy service where you want, you have the choice to buy service where it's available. Mobile phones are not a right, they are a privilege. Apple has not restricted your ability to choose... you can choose any other phone you like. Apple is not forcing you to buy their phone.
The entitlement attitude never ceases to amaze me.
Hmmm, with that attitude, I guess you're ok with collusion, monopolies, and anti-competitive practices, right? I mean, companies providing any goods or services should be able to work together and jack up prices, stifle competition, stamp out innovation, and reduce quality. After all, you're not forced to use/buy them!
It certainly makes sense to me to be able to buy any phone I want and use it on any network I want. You don't agree? In other countries, it's against the law to lock phones to providers.
How'd you feel if you had a Honda and could only buy Honda gas at a Honda gas station, and the same was true for all the other manufacturers?
There are times when the government has to step in and correct things like this. Feeling entitled is a good thing.

HT1937 my iphone has been locked with carrier locked

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.

Iphone carrier locked

hi there? i wanna ask you guys? how can i find my iphone 4 carrier locked. my iphone model MC603B/A. thank

Have you always used this iPhone or did you purchase it second hand?
Because if you have always used it then the sim has been working in the iPhone is most likely of the carrier it is locked to. If you purchased it second hand then ask the original owner what carrier they used with the iPhone.
once you know who the carrier is then you need to contact them and ask if they can unlock the iPhone.

Only the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone, or send the unlock request to Apple on the owner's behaf with the unlocking done with iTunes.
You need to contact the carrier the iPhone is carrier locked with to see if they offer unlocking for the iPhone and if so, if you meet whatever requirements they have for unlocking.

Can i restore iphone without carrier sim?

i have an activated iphone and i want to know if i ever accidentally restore it to factory setting(pressing unlock/lock button + home button) can i restore it to my back up with out the need of a carrier sim? the iphone is carrier lock in other country and i have no carrier sim.
any response is deeply apreciated. thanks.

(pressing unlock/lock button + home button)
This is not restoring an iPhone to factory settings. This is called a reset, which is simllar to a computer restart.
You need the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated inserted in the iPhone in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes and the same when installing a firmware update. Or an activated SIM card with the carrier the iPhone is carrier locked with.

I have a brand new iPhone 4GS from Bell Carrier, I want to have it unlock for my Roger's carrier, is this possible?

I have my step-son's iPhone 4GS from Bell Carrier, he upgraded his phone, I have a 4G, and I contacted Bell in order to have my phone unlocked so I can replace my phone with the 4GS with my present carrier of Roger's. Bell customer service informed me that they are no permitted to unlock iPhone and directed me to Apple.
I am a bit confused, these are very good phones and now I cannot use it because it is locked with a carrier, obviously the phone is paid for if Bell offered the free upgrade. Why can I not be able to use this phone and put my SIM card from Roger's and use it, instead we are disposing of good equipment that is obviously bad for the environmnent.
It is very simple, again I believe Bell is monopolizing, they want me to take this phone and get a plan with them, however, the story is that Roger's originally unlock the iphone for $50, and I bought a Bell SIM car dr $25.00, but I cannot pay Bell to do the same.
Can Apple authorize the unlock of this phone when the carrier refuses to do?

Apple does not unlock phones. Only the original cellular provider, in this case Bell, can authorize unlocking. They are passing the buck for their decision to not provide unlocking.

If you have a Japanese iPhone and are using it with any carrier other than Softbank or AU, then it was hacked, since as the others have said neither of those carriers unlock iPhones. Therefore if you upgrade iOS or restore your iPhone, it will lock back to the original carrier and be unusuable with your current cell provider.
We cannot help you with jailbroken iPhones. You'll have to look elsewhere for further assistance.

I have an Iphone 4GS. In the upper right hand corner next to the battery symbol, I have a lock symbol with an arrowed circle around it. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

HT4993 Can i get factory unlock my iPhone 4S at sprint carrier locked

I want my iPhone factory unlock at Sprint Carrier locked, to use any gsm carrier sim worldwide.. Is there any way to officialy unlock it

What part of:
"No Sprint model iPhone can be officially unlocked."
Do you not understand?
There is nothing more I can add to this thread. If you want an officially unlocked iPhone, you have the wrong model. Sell it. Don't want to do that? You're on your own
Good luck.

My iphone 5 is carrier locked to verizon

So I bought a iPhone 5 from my friend, and he told me that the verizon iphone 5 is unlocked so I could use it on any network.
However, when i checked with Apple, they told me that the verizon iphone 5 i bought is carrier locked to verizon.
So I called and asked them to unlock it from the network, and I was immediately refused multiple times.
I am really stuck on what I can do at this point... could anyone in the verizon community care to help me out?
It would save me tons of time and work. Thank you in advance.

Have you tried using a SIM from a different carrier? I know that Apple says it is carrier locked, but there are several instances on these forums where people have "claimed" to have been able to use a different carrier with a Verizon iPhone. I assume you have service with a different provider. Just get a SIM card from them and try it in your phone.
This would not be able to work the other way around, though. Verizon iPhones have both CDMA and GSM radios, where GSM carrier iPhones do not have the CDMA radio.
Hopefully this will work for you, however if it does not, you will have to bring it up with your "friend". It was his mistake. You could sell the phone on a site such as Swappa.com.

My iphone is still locked to my old carrier

my iphone is still locked to my old carrier

If you are just stating a fact then I agree it is locked to your old carrier. If you are asking about unlocking then only the carrier can do that for you ...contact them ans ee if they offer unlocking

Get a new non carrier locked iPhone?

Well I canceled my sprint contract and I'm left with a carrier locked iPhone for sprint, well since I bought apple care + I have insurance on phone. My iPhone 4s has battery issues and if I went to apple and they gave me a new iPhone would that new one be carrier free meaning I could take it to AT&T with me? I think that would be the case right?

Well all the iPhones are the same when new when you activate it to a carrier, the carrier then locks it to its company, so if it's unactivated and they give me unactivated new phone then it's not locked to anything, this should work because I had learned that all the iPhone 4s have same internals because apple designed to work both ways.?
