can you please give me details on how to update the version of my factory locked iphone 4.

    Your cousins phone was therefore not, in fact, factory unlocked.  An iPhone sold directly by Apple as unlocked will never lock because of an iOS update.
    An iPhone unlocked by going through proper procedures and channels with the carrier to whom it was originally locked will never lock again because of an iOS update.
    An iPhone hacked to unlock it (which is unlocked by ANY other means then the first two) will lock again whenever iOS is updated.
    If I had to guess, I would say 90% of privately sold iPhones sold as "unlocked" are in fact merely hacked to unlock them, and WILL relock when updated.
    Some iPhones sold in Europe are also sold as "SIM free" and contract free, but do in fact lock to the carrier of the first SIM inserted in them.  No contract, or "SIM free" does not mean unlocked.

    They are not lacking or missing any features or functions.
    It simply means you can only use the cellular network of the carrier it is locked to.

  • Locked iPhone 3g from Vodafone

    My brother bought locked iPhone 3g from Vodafone Egypt and now he won’t to move to another carrier,
    but iPhone is locked to Vodafone Egypt
    and they say we are not authorized to unlock your iPhone to all carriers.
    How can I unlock my brother iPhone even if I will pay fees?

    Julian,
    I think he wanted to say they are expected to offer phone official unlock since Vodafone Egypt sells Iphones at the full price of the factory unlocked units sold in many other countries.
    I am in the same boat as he is; however I took an extra step and discussed this with Vodafone Egypt; since the phone I bought from them is about 4 years old now and of course I moved to a newer one (factory unlocked this time ) and I am still their customer anyways.
    Vodafone Egypt responded they don't mind unlocking the phone (as an exception since they don't officially offer this option); however they said they don't have the software needed to perform the unlock, they suggested I should contact Apple directly and they will be more than happy to authorize the unlock if contacted by apple.
    Now Apple, can you help with this one ?

    Unlocked iPhone 4S's are not yet generally available at retail in the U.S. Currently, the only official way to get one is order from the US online Apple store. This will require a US credit card with a valid US billing/shipping address.

  • Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.

    Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.Furthermore will my new phone need to be activated in store or can i do it myself

    No. You'll need to get a SIM from your carrier. Since you won't have a SIM, there will be no way to activate the iPhone at the store, so you'll have to do it yourself.
    Regards.

  • If I update my factory unlocked iphone 4 to iOS 7, will it have to be unlocked again?

    Hi, I have an iphone 4 factory unlocked running iOS 6.1.3, if I update it to iOS 7, will I have to pay to get it unlocked again or will it still be unlocked for use afterwards?

    What can i do to factory unlock it.

    Phones do not re-lock unless they were previously hacked so that could be unlocked.  Sounds like yours was NOT factory unlocked.
