Is my Iphone 4 unlocked for every country when bought in a Apple store?

Hi evreyone,
I'm going to NY for an internship and I want to know if I can use my Iphone which I bought in an Apple store in France?
Thanks for your help!!

If you did not pay the full price, it might be locked to a carrier, check here if the carrier offers unlocking.
iPhone: Wireless carrier support and features
The unlock process has to be started by the carrier.
iPhone: About unlocking
iPhone is available for purchase and activation through Apple, wireless carriers, and authorized resellers (not all options are available in all countries or locations). In most countries, the place of purchase will verify that you have an account with the carrier, and then give you instructions on how to activate your iPhone. Verification of carrier account is not required in countries in which unlocked iPhones are available for sale.
Apple Online Store sells unlocked iPhone in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium (French, Dutch), Brazil, Canada (English, French), China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong (English, Chinese), Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland (French, German), Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and United States.

How can I unlock my UK phone for AUS use when sourced from UK Apple Store (so without service provider to do it for me)?

So my Aus iPhone that I had unlocked to do a bit of travelling went for a swim in the Med- my service provider back home informed me that in order to claim on insurance internationally that I should get a new one from an Apple Store and send them the bill etc etc. I did that, and all was fine with the rest of my trip on a prepaid UK sim. Now I am home and want to put my AUS sim in (where I am under postpaid contract) but my iPhone is not recognising it, with an error message of 'Invalid Sim'. My service provider cannot help as the product was sourced from Apple originally and not them. Can someone let me know how this can be fixed?

Okay, so if you purchased your iPhone from an Apple store in the UK then it is fully unlocked. Apple in the UK sell fully and officially unlocked iPhones, so you should not have a problem with inserting any sim card into your phone. The phone will be unlocked as long as you purchased the phone in the UK for the full purchase price and not as sim free rather than unlocked.
Have a word with your provider, as there could possibly be a problem with your sim card. Get a new sim card and try that. There is no reason why this should not work on an unlocked iPhone.

Is iPhone unlocked when bought from an Apple store?

I bought a 3GS from an Apple store last year on PAYG in the UK. The guy in the shop asked me which network I'd like to use and he got me the SIM pack and set the phone up for me. I want to change carriers so will I have to get the phone unlocked first, or not?
Thanks

If you purchased it from the Apple store, it should have been unlocked. What happens when you put in the Australian SIM?

I forgot to change the country when buying things at apple store.

I ordered a speck seethru satin case from apple store on the 20th of August, but I forgot to change the country, so the shipping address is in US, while I'm staying in Malaysia. So what should I do know to get the case?

Is it safe to update iphone 4 to ios 5? I bought it from Apple Store UK but I live in Turkey. The phone is simfree. Is it possible that when I update it, it will be locked? If so how can I fix it?

People say that even the Iphone 4 is factory unlocked, when you update it to ios 5, it will be locked and there is no solution for that. I use ios 4.3.3 I hope you can help me. Thank you so much. Gizem.

If it is an officially unlocked iPhone, you can use any supported SIM.
Follow these steps to upgrade: iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5

Simply remove the Verizon Sim pop in the Sim from your country.
Good Luck

I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile. For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day. It can't find tmobile on my phone?

I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile. For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day. It can't find tmobile on my phone for some reason but for 2 years previous it could no problem? tmobile says it is a problem with my phone and not their service.
Any ideas what to do?

I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process. Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone. Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

My iPhone is from Israel and was locked to Orange. Now I'm in the UK and Orange here tell me it's locked exclusively to Orange in Israel. Can an iPhone be unlocked from a country without getting re-locked each time an update is downloaded?

If the iphone is locked to Orange in Israel then only Orange in Israel can authorise Apple to release the lock .No one else
However if you look here Orange in Israel appear not to lock iPhones they sell

If the steps in the article TJBUSMC1973 linked didn't resolve your issue, then the next step would be to have your phone serviced at an Apple store. Good luck

I sent my Iphone 5c in for repair and when they sent it back my sim card wasn't in it is there any way i can have them send it back or do I need to get a new sim card for it?

You'll have to get a new one from your carrier. I believe the shipping instructions for mail in service explicitly tell you to take it out as you will most likely not receive the same phone back. Apple doesn't repair most phones, they replace them.

HT4061 Can a unlocked (no ATT, Verizon, Sprint plan) iphone 5 bought from an Apple store utilize a phone call while simultaneously checking email, web pages etc.? I know the ATT version can and the Verizon version can't, so can a unlocked Apple?

Can a unlocked (no ATT, Verizon, Sprint plan) iphone 5 bought from an Apple store utilize a phone call while simultaneously checking email, turn by turn, web pages etc.?

Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.
