  • IPhone 5s (GSM) T-Mobile, is it unlocked to any GSM network?

    I have read alot in the forum about the iphone 5s t-mobile contract free version, and I understood that it's not labeled unlocked for business reasons. But I want to make sure that if I bought it, I will still be able to use it with another GSM network (I live in lebanon).

    Then why does the iphone 5c and all the previous iphones have 2 options: t-mobile unlocked or sim-free in the apple store, unlike the iphone 5s which only has one option? (thanks in advance, but I dont want to buy the phone and hit the wall, just like what happened to me with the iphone 4)

  • How to activate iphone 4 to any GSM network with MEP code

    Hi,can you tell me people what's the best site to activate or unlock my iphone 4 to any GSM network, (only trusted sites)
    i want to pay for unlock it, is not locked it, please help me with this issue, i would be glad with any help

    This phone is locked because its been sold/supplied at a subsidized contract price which is a standard practise in many EU countries.
    Now all EU Mobile operators are required to offer an unlock facility however are able to impose qualifying periods and charge if they want.
    You have to contact Vodafone Spain and ask them to supply Apple with the unlock request.
    That also assumes that the Vodafone Spain account is in YOUR name and that the phone is in Spain at the time.
    THEY WILL KNOW from the imei number if its on their network or not!
    They may also make a charge €25-30 going rate and may impose a three month minimum contract period before allowing the unlock to take place. (Revenue protection on subsidized phone rule)
    The ONLY sure way to get an UNLOCKED iPhone is via Apple Retail direct and at full price.
    If you can't meet those criteria you have little choice but to Sell the phone back to the Spanish market via eBay (Spain) or look away from these forums for unsupported jailbreak options.
    Be aware these carry risks to the security stability and warranty of your iPhone.

  • How can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    how can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, so you will need to contact the carrier. Note that if the iPhone is locked to AT&T, they will not unlock an iPhone at any time for any reason.

  • After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

    After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
    switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
    This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
    (Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
    You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
    In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

  • My iphone can't see any wifi networks

    my iphone can't see any wifi networks ... i tried to reset network setting and reset all setting and update the ios system but no way

    I, too, fear it might be a hardware problem . I removed all security from my router but still no networks appear in the list nor can I connect directly by typing in the SSID. Tried two routers: Apple Airport Extreme and a Linksys something-er-other provided by Bell.
    I will give HP a call tomorrow and see if they can sort this out.
    Thank you for your help/advice!
    Edit: almost certain it's a hardware problem: I clicked on the Help button while on that "Scanning for networks" dialog during initial setup and as one of the "helpful" suggestions, it said my Mac address was 00:00:00:etc.

  • Today my Iphone  unable to see any wifi network

    Hello
    Today my Iphone  unable to see any wifi network.
    I tried to solve the problem in several ways.
    1. reset neteaork definitions.  -> did not solve the problem
    2. reset location and privecy  -> did not solve the problem.
    3. reset all definitions            ->  did not solve the problem.
    Doses any one has any idea that can help?
    Thakns
    Moti

    The only other option I can think of is to try a Reset All Settings reset.  You won't lose anything, but your phone's settings will ALL be set back to factory default. 
    If this doesn't work you could try to do a restore through iTunes and set your phone up as new.  If that doesn't work, you may have a hardware problem and will need to take the phone in to an Apple store to have it checked out.

    How can i get my iphone 4s unlocked to any carrier?

    You must contact the carrier it is currently locked to and get them to unlock the iPhone.  Apple will not do this as it is part of the subsidized contract with the carriers.

  • My iphone was unlocked to any network when i bought it, it is a 3gs i done the latesst update by accident and now the phone says the activation server is temporarily unavailable

    i bougt my son a unlocked iphone 3gs for xmas, i have accidently done the latest update and now the phone is saying no servive can anyone help,
    thanks

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • TS1398 My iPhone is not recognizing any wireless networks.

    My iPhone just stopped recognizing wireless networks. I've tried the website troubleshooting and it doesn't help. I even manually typed in the network and password. Nothing has worked. I've only had this phone for 8 months.

    If the website troubleshooting doesn't help - whatever that was, call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • IPhone can't find any wifi networks

    I have an original iPhone. It originally ran on wifi networks and Edge, but for a while it has only worked on Edge. When I look under settings - Wi-Fi it says "Not Connected" and lists no networks. My MacBook is connected wirelessly via an AirPort and the wireless info on it lists at least 5 active networks in the area. I have tried toggling between Airplane Mode and not, turning off everything (including cable modem and AirPort) and then resetting network settings, resetting all settings, and erasing all content and settings. I have also tried "Other" under Wi-Fi Networks, but it can't find my home network.
    Is there just something wrong with the device?

    I have the same problem you did. Was your phone still under warranty or covered under Apple Care? My phone isn't under warranty anymore, so I'm just hoping that I'm not out of luck.

  • If I buy unlocked iPhone would work on all the networks including Verizon.?

    If I buy unlocked iPhone would work on all the networks including Verizon.?

    No. an unlocked iPhone will only work on GSM networks. The only GSM carriers in the US are AT&T and T-Mobile.  Any of the small, regional carriers that use GSM are actually MVNO's that piggyback on the T-Mobile or AT&T networks. You will have issues with some features using those carriers, most notably MMS messaging and cellular data.
    If you are going to want to use Verizon, then buy a Verizon phone.

  • I'm interested in iPhone 5s Unlocked and contract-free T-Mobile. It will work in Russia, with Russian nano-SIM card GSM?

    I'm interested in iPhone 5s Unlocked and contract-free T-Mobile. It will work in Russia, with Russian nano-SIM card GSM?

    Depends on what you mean by "fully operational". As i"ve stated, the phone most likely will not support LTE where you live, & unless you're using a supported iPhone carrier, you'll have to fiddle with the APN settings.
    But, an unlocked GSM iPhone will work with any GSM carrier.
