Is my iphone 4 officially unlock?

I want to know if my iphone is officially unlock..
I can use the carriers here in the philippines and this phone is from uae
And there is no cydia in my iphone, this mean its official unlock?

Unfortunately, the only other way is to update the phone. If it is not officially unlocked, then it will relock.
According to this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937 about the wireless carriers, if the phone was purchased in UAE, it very well may be locked to a carrier and it does not show that they provide unlocking services.

IPhone Officially unlocked - is there a way to check it?

Hi,
My iPhone was officially unlocked by the carrier.
is there a way (beside insert a different SIM) to check it?
Thanks,
Ofir

I've never heard of the carrier store doing it. How long did it take?
Every other official unlocking I've heard of takes at least a few days. Your phone details are submitted by the carrier to Apple. Apple enters it into their unlocked phones database. You then get a text message a few days later from the carrier informing you to connect your phone to iTunes for the unlock to be done. Then you get the Congrats message.
Have any new icons appeared on your phones homescreens?
There is no way to check online or anywhere else that your phone is unlocked. The only surefire way of knowing is to try a different SIM.

IPhone official unlock?

When I ask my mobile phone provider to officially unlock my iPhone 4 carrier can I still restore from scratch, restore from backup, set it to DFU mode and 'reset all content and settings' WITHOUT losing the unlock?
Thanks! :)

yes

Iphone 4s official unlocked from at&t could not activate

After the official unlock my Iphone 4s, I can not activate my Iphone. I send you Screenshots with problem.
ITunes says: "Your request couldn’t be processed. We’re sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later."
IPhone Says "Could not activate iphone' 'You Iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable"
This goes on for several weeks. On different computers and different wi-fi networks. On the same network successfully activate other iPhone. This Iphone Not activated as a SIM card AT&T, and with the local simcards. i trying restore iphone in recovery mode many times. This Iphone never be "hacked'
My name is Artur , i bought this phone on eBay , but I'm not the resident of USA . ModelNumber: MD271 (white 4s, 64), SerialNumber: C3*******TDR
This iphone official unlocked before activation.
The answer from one of the forums:
Good evening. I looked your Imei.
This is a problem more and more often. The fact is that when you first activate the phone is logged into the database of the operator to which he is attached to the server and Apple.
If you do the unlock before the first activation, the phone is removed from the database of the operator and to the base of Apple, he never misses. As a result, the phone just hangs in the air.
And it can not pass activation. Itself it does not pass. I know of only two ways to resolve the problem.
1) Call to Apple.
My friends say that engaged Fix this problem, but his services are worth $ 100, so I did not check. But the reviews are good. In your place, I would have called in Apple.
I called AT & T, they said they do not have access to the activation server Apple
I called Apple, the conversation lasted more than an hour, but the problem persists. Maybe they did not understand me because of bad language.
Please help.

"12/13/12 We regret to inform you that since yesterday afternoon the Apple server has been updating. This creates a slower than normal process time, we anticipate that the service will be back to normal no later than tonight"
I saw that somewhere. could be the reason why?

Returning broken officially unlocked iphone

I had my iphone officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK recently, and a thought just occurred to me. Will the Apple Store I bought it from give me an officially unlocked phone in event of mine breaking under warranty, or will I end up locked again and have to go through the rigmarole of another carrier unlock request?

What a nightmare. That would mean no phone for weeks until that got sorted - assuming they agreed to unlock it. I'm wrapping mine in bubble wrap...

Will a factory unlocked iPhone stay unlocked if sync with another iTunes account?

I just got my ATT iphone officially unlocked. If I reset the phone to factory defaults so my daughter can borrow it for her trip to Europe, will it lock again? She would probably sync it with her iTunes and personalize it for her use. When she gets back, I will then reset it again and sync it with my iTunes. Thanks.

It will not lock again. It is unlocked,

Att iPhone 4S Unlock Issues

Have paid for an unlocking service which claims that my husband's phone is unlocked. Followed the directions, backup up restored, everything with no luck. New to the Apple experience so very ignorant of process. Setting up with Straight Talk. I am trying to use the same iTunes account as my wife's 3G. Is that the problem? Do I need to erase and reset phone on a different iTunes? Either way I cannot access the APN info to create the celluar DATA network. Both of have voice and texting on transferred phone but cannot get the date settings changed. Thanks all,

Well, there is no way to get an iPhone officially unlocked that way, & AT&T does not charge to process iPhone unlock requests...which is the only way to get an AT&T iPhone officially unlocked.

Globe telecom iphone 4 unlock code not provided by the carrier

I called my carrier asking for the unlock code because my 2 year contract for my iphone 4 has expired. I even offer to buy the unlock code from them as I want a legal way to unlock my phone 4. The customer rep told me it is up to the manufacturer to provide the unlock code but having read from apple's website, I told them only the carrier which was globe telecom can request apple for the unlock codes. Then the rep told me they are under no obligation to provide the unlock code. My question is , this is an old phone and the home botton does not even work anymore what I want is a legal way to unlock my phone from my carrier. How can I legally unlock my phone if my carrier Globe telecom Philippines won't provide or even let me buy the unlock code?
I don't want to jailbreak my phone I want to unlock it from this carrier. My contract is expired I want freedom to switch to other carriers!

Sorry, you're out of luck, as Globe does not offer unlocking for the iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, & there is no such thing as a "code".
Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking. There is no other way to get any iPhone officially unlocked. Whether carriers offer unlocking is strictly up to them, unless required by law. In you case, Globe has chosen NOT to offer unlocking.
It is what it is.

Only the original cellular provider can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact them to determine if they offer unlocking and if the phone qualifies.

Can I use officially unlocked iPhone in different countries?

I'm moving to Rome with my job for eight months, then on to Chicago for four months, then back to London. I'm trying to find out if I buy an unlocked Pay as You Go iPhone in one of the various EU countries selling manufacturer unlocked units (France, Germany, Italy, etc) , will it work in each country if I switch to that country's telecom's Sim cards.
The blogs and iPhone dedicated websites are full of opinions but no one seems to have definitive experience doing this. Some users say it should work, others say the EU iPhones are unlocked for the specific country of purchase but will not work with another country's telecom's Sim cards. The Apple Stores will not confirm any usage outside their own country. Similar response from the relevant telecoms. The Apple Support pages do not make any reference to cross country usage beyond roaming.
A privately unlocked iPhone is an option but I prefer an official unlock so there are no hassles. Not looking for opinions here - can find more than enough on the internet. I'm looking for actual first hand experience using these officially unlocked iPhones between countries.

Thanks for the correction on the relevant carriers. Looking at the European options: Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, and Czech Republic should work based on details from Apple's carrier list.
Before I buy I would like to confirm someone has actually purchased an unlocked iPhone in either Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg or Czech Republic and used it with Sim cards from another country.

I live in Saudi Arabia and intend to buy an iPhone 5 (unlocked version) from U.K. I want to know, would it be possible to claim warranty from the local network operator which is the official Apple iPhone seller i.e. Mobily. Would they repair/replace ?

You would need to return to U.K. for warranty service. The iPhone warranty is not international.

Jailbroken phones can not be discussed here.
It's highly likely that it is now bricked. The jailbreak most likely did permanent damage. There are lots of reports of previously jailbroken/hacked phones that become unusable when attempting to apply a legitimate unlock.

IPhone software update for officially unlocked version?

Hi everybody,
-This is my situation:
I would like to purchase an iPhone 3G officially unlocked (From Italy)[MB496T/A].{some ones visiting}
Would I be able to update the software?
i dont mind about the warranty

If it is officially unlocked you should be able to load updates without a problem.
Just remember if you need to have it serviced at all you will need to take it back to Italy.

Officially Unlocking iPhone 4?

Hello,
My brother gave me an iPhone 4 which he directly purchased from an Apple Store in the US and for which he paid full price. It was never activated or used in US. It is being used in Bahrain with Batelco, a seemingly authorized carrier. I want to update it to iOS 7 and want to make sure I can officially Unlock it. What should I do?
I know how to use other methods but I am not interested.
Thank you - Maki

Contact the carrier it's locked to and find out what their policy on unlocking is. Just because he paid full price doesn't mean he purchased an unlocked iPhone. Look at the original receipt. It should specify what carrier it's locked to. If it says it's supposed to be unlocked, contact Apple Care.

After the official unlock ATT, and recovery in itunes, I can not activate my iphone 4.

Hello, can someone help me? I have an iphone 4 locked ATT. I made an official unlock. I.M.E.I. check says that the iPhone unlocked. I like the instructions, restored it through itunes. But was not able to activate it. here is what itunes: "Your request couldn't be processed. We're sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later." But I have 2 weeks I can not activate it! As it turned out, I unlocked the iPhone, which has never been activated to itunes. Who knows what can I do?

Try contacting AT&T and seeing what they have to say about it. They should be able to help you if you unlocked the phone through them.
