Is my Iphone 5 never lock(SIM free)? How can I check?
Hello
I am from Russia and I just bought it in BestBuy. I do the activation via iTunes. But now I start to recive a messages saying "iphone is not Activated contact your carrier at 18009220204..." what does it mean?
In the store I was told that it is a never lock(Sim free) phone. But a Verizon sim card was inside.
So the questions is will it work it Russia?
Thanks
At Russia I have an GSM carrier. Will it work with GSM?
It should, yes, but again, you would get no warranty or service from Apple in Russia for a US-sold iPhone
Or best solution to give it back to BestBuy and get another one directli from AppleStore?
I would strongly recommend that you return it to Best Buy and purchase from Apple or an authorized iPhone reseller in Russia. With Apple now having an online store of their own in Russia, that may be your best option.
Regards.

Apple can do nothing. As Tim said, only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. You must contact that carrier.

TRy removing the sim card wipe it clean then insert it again. Your sim card tray might be dusty. Another option is turning your airplane mode on and off.
btw, is your network signal strong in the area where you are currently? Ask ATT if there is any area outage -
Hello. I updated my iPhone 4S to ios 7.1.1. And now it shows "no SIM card". This never happened before. How can I downgrade?
Hey User13579,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Follow these steps to attempt to resolve the issue.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4148
Toggle Airplane mode On and Off.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Remove the SIM Card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Restore the iPhone.
Have a nice day,

Bought iphone in a shop sim free, send abroad like a present write all the time incorrect network, what the problem?
What "shop" did you buy this in, and in what country? What country did you send it to as a present? And, as KiltedTim stated, there is a BIG difference between SIM free and unlocked.

i tried to up date my i phone 4 to iOS 5 then it wiped my phone and now it tells me to connect to iTunes and that the iPhone is in recovery mode and when i connect it goes to preparing to install to iPhone but never goes any further how do i restore the phone
by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update. -

I have deleted all my videos songs and photos from my iphone 4 but when i connect to itunes it still shows 17gb free. how can I solve this issue without restore. Total storage of my iphone is 32 gb.
I don't see an issue, but if you mean why didn't you get most of your memory back you need to see what else is using storage. Go to Settings/General/Usage. Wait a bit for it to calculate storage allocation, then when it finishes you can see how much storage each app uses.

How can you not know this? Where did you get the phone?
Ask whoever you bought it from or call AppleCare and give them the serial number. -

Hi jclarke64,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone 4s was lost, and glad that you were able to upgrade.
If your iPhone 4s was backed up to iCloud or using iTunes, you can restore the backed up data to your new phone.
See the steps in this article for help with restoring from a backup:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
All the best,

If it has been Disabled after entering the wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer. There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
