Is it legal to resell factory unlocked iphones?

I bought some sim locked iPhones and ordered factory unlocking service from some website. Then I waited a few days and connected the iphones to iTunes and it told me it was unlocked.
My questions are:
Is it lagal to resell these iPhones in EU?
Is this kind of unlocking legal?
Thank you.

I bought some sim locked iPhones
As provided you have hacked them and wasted your money
As you seem to be attempting this on a commercial scale not for personal use it sounds very " unusual "

PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.  

    Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller?  Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones.  The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
    Try these steps, as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
    4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
    5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

  • Buying Factory Unlocked iphone - problems?

    I live in the UK and the area I'm in doesn't have a great O2 signal but Orange is fine, I was thinking of buying a factory unlocked iphone 3GS so it'll be totally legal and not jailbroken but will be from like Australia or something, I was wondering before I buy it if someone could tell me if i'm likely to encounter any problems using it on Orange rather than O2 (ie anything that wouldn't work on the phone) also as it won't be from the UK will that make a difference, would anything be different on it? I also read that I'd have to manually setup the SMS settings etc, is this right?
    thanks!

    Insurance would not cover manufacturer defects. Insurance only covers breaking the phone.
    The iPhone handles MMS differently than other phones do. Here in the US, we don't have MMS on the iPhone yet while other ATT phones have MMS. ATT has had to make changes to their network to accommodate MMS on the iPhone and is still in the process of doing so.

  • Why factory unlocked iphone require Sim activation ?

    I have Factory Unlocked iphone 4, why required sim activation ?
    Iphone was on OS 5.1 I upgraded on 7.1.2, first of all the Update failed in start then I had no choice but to restore and now it requiring sim activation, well it's non contract Phone why it need stupid sim activation ?
    Why the update got failed ? Steve Job's dream was every hand should hold iphone (We'll provide best of the best) but looks like it can not be accomplished without him (that's my opinion, no offense).
    Let me know what is the solution for that, I don't want to install the CYDIA on that like everyone else.
    Regards,
    M.Aqib

    You mean any Sim could be used for activation ?
    I unlocked it through at&t website, I am having a legal Phone
    I have updated it for the first time.
    Mentioning Steve Jobs means he cares about his customers, I don't know about the rest nor I see (again it's a opinion nothing personal).
    About the Jailbreak I am not impressing anyone nor I need to and it's not a threat it's a solution I got when I Google it and saw couple of videos on Youtube, it's not something I have said, I said I don't want to do it if you have read my post properly.
    You can't OBLIGATE customers like this, show a bit of professionalism.
    Looks like you have taken this a bit personal. Customers use this forum for help not to be disrespected. That's not the way Apple should treat it's customers.

  • My factory unlocked Iphone 4 got locked after 4.3.2 update, How do I unlock it?

    "factory unlocked Iphone 4 got locked after 4.3.2 update, How do I unlock it?"
    Do I have to use the apple's fast lane to resolve the issue or is it something that can be resolved quickly using the ITunes or combination of power and home key please advice...

    From where did you purchase the iPhone? Are you certain it really was factory unlocked? I can't say that an iOS update couldn't inadvertently lock an iPhone, but more commonly it would happen with a jailbroken iPhone. If by "from Irvine" you mean Irvine, California, then you don't have a factory-unlocked iPhone unless you purchased it from another country, as there are no unlocked iPhones sold through any authorized reseller in the US.
    Regards.

  • Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 T-Mobile US APN Settings

    I have an Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 in the United States and need to know the APN settings and MMS settings for the internet. I know that only EDGE works but that is fine with me. Can anyone help me. Thanks.
    I am also running iOS 4 as I am unable to update to 4.0.1 due to iTunes not being able to reach the iPhone update servers.
    If theres a fix for the update servers also please let me know. Thanks.

    hi. just want to ask if at this time, there are still no factory unlocked iphones in the US.
    I know in the UK, Canada, France, Hongkong, etc., iphones are factory unlocked. I'm not sure though if at this time, there are still no factory unlocked iphones in the US. I'm also considering the fact that the government ruled that jailbreaking is legal.
    Thanks.

  • Can not update 5.1.1 to 6.0 on factory unlocked iPhone 4S - An unknown error occurred (-1) (21)

    HI all,
    for the first time, one of my Apple products is making me mad.
    1.) I have an factory unlocked iPhone 4S running 5.1.1
    2.) When I try to update, it (MacBook Pro running 10.8.1) extracts the software and then after a few seconds it shows me (An unknown error occurred (-1))
    3.) When I put the phone in DFU Mode and try to update it shows me (An unkown error occurred (21)) - The iPhone freezes at the Apple Logo
    I have downloaded the IPSW again (Yes I am sure I have the one for iPhone 4S), have downloaded and installed iTunes 10.7. Further I have installed iTunes fresh on a another Laptop (iTunes 10.7 on Windows 7) - Same behavior there.
    The funny thing is, when I restore the iPhone to 5.1.1 it restores it without any problem.  I have also tried to first make a restore on 5.1.1 and directly on 6.0. Same problem.
    PLEASE HELP ME!
    Cheers
    Peter

    You might try using RedsNow to put it in DFU mode.

  • Factory unlocked iPhone 4S ios 5.1.1 emoji is not working under some circumstances

    I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4S
    I have a $50 monthly 4g plan on tmobile but I doubt that is relevant
    I am running iOS 5.1.1
    Whenever I send emojis to other iPhones  my recipients cannot see them unless it is on iMessage.
    Even on the Facebook app, I can see emojis that friends send me in messages but when I reply with an emoji via facebook it says "message cannot be delivered at this time"
    However one single emoji does work on Facebook and it is the red heart
    Can someone help me fix this or at least tell me why it won't work?
    I can see emojis fine but for some reason I can't send them. Not even on facebook

    T-mobile is not a supported carrier of iphones and not all functions will work.  this is probably the reason emojis will not work.   Switch to At&T

  • How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of (connect to iTunes) mode?

    How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of recovery (connect to itunes) mode? 
    Once the iPhone 3GS is in DFU mode and plugged into iTunes, the restore and update process begins. The restores process are as followed:
    Extracting software > Preparing iPhone for restore (blank screen) > Preparing iPhone software for restore > Restoring iPhone software > Verifying iPhone restore > Restoring iPhone firmware > The iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (1).
    I clicked on the more information tab and was taken to a website with some troubleshooting. I did what they suggested (based on the error #) and still no luck. I’ve tried to restore and update about 10 times now but the same message keeps coming up at the end. What should I do now?
    P.S: I have the latest version of iTunes (11), my windows is up to date etc ...

    This Error message is indicative of a Hardware issue. The device may need Service.

  • T-Mobile SIM card won't work with my replacement factory unlocked iPhone 5

    On Saturday, my rear camera on my factory unlocked iPhone 5 stopped focusing. I took it in to my nearest Apple store and they replaced it. Problem is, now I can't get my T-Mobile SIM card to work with the replacement phone. The guys at the genius bar sent me to T-Mobile to see if a new SIM card would fix the problem, but I'm still getting an "Unsupported SIM" error when I try to activate the phone. Any insights?

    Do you have information about the model no. of original purchase that is printed on the back cover ?
    What is model no. of the replacement iPhone 5 ?
    If T-mobile SIM worked on the original purchase and does not work on the replacement iPhone 5, they gave you a wrong model.

  • Need help with using Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 (GSM) in US

    Hi all I have an factory unlocked iPhone 4 (GSM) which is bought overseas. I will come to the US soon but I don't know how can I continue using with the US carriers.
    Any solution?

    If it is truly unlocked, just sign up for a plan with AT&T when you get to the US and insert the MicroSIM. AT&T will not permit pre-paid plans on iPhones. T-Mobile will, but they are not a supported carrier and you will not get 3G data speeds, only Edge. Other features may not work correctly such as MMS messaging, FaceTime, etc.

    EDIT 2: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen message saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a method for restoring it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes (connect the phone to computer, turn it off, hold both Home and Power buttons until the Apple logo disappears, release the Power button without releasing Home button, iTunes shows a message about an iPhone in restoring mode, restore, etc.). Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…
    Please, help

  • Date Time issue factory unlocked iphone 4s

    I have a factory unlocked iphone 4s bought in Apple store US and currently in India. In Settings -> General -> Date & Time, I am setting "on" Set Automatically. After some time say 2-3 hours, the time automatically moves back by 30 minutes. In India there is no daylight savings. I am forced to set "off" for the "Set Automatically" option and then choose the timezone, time to keep it to the correct time. Anyone facing this issue ? By setting it to "Set Automatically" on, my understanding is it should sync with the mobile provider ("Airtel"). Is this a bug in iOS ?

    i have same problem i also went to apple store but the can not find any problem i don't know what to do ?
    i hop it's just a sofware problem
