Is there iphone 5 unlocked in the market?

im looking for iphone 5 unlocked

Go to Verizon, buy full retail price Iphone 5 with month-to month plan, cancel Verizon plan next day or so.
All you have to pay extra is $35 activation fee and like $5 for a couple days of service.

HT4623 I was given an iphone 4 (unlocked) in the UK, but despite my service provider changing the sim it will not connect to the network here in Australia. Any ideas on what the problem is?

I was given an iphone 4 (unlocked) in the UK, but despite my service provider changing the sim I'm still getting no service. Is ther something else that could be locked to a UK network on the phone? Cheers, Ray.

Expanding on what Tim said to make sure it's clear, only the carrier to which the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. If Optus is the original carrier, as would seem to be the case, O2 would not be able to unlock it. Only Optus can authorize the unlock, so you'll need to contact them. They say, though, that only the account holder can apply for unlocking, so you might not be able to get it unlocked and will have to work through the person from whom you bought the iPhone.
For more information, see the Optus FAQ on unlocking.

Dear Community, how can I connect SCSI tape recorder via USB to iMac ? Is there any adapter/converter on the market now ? Cheers, Marek

Dear Community,
how can I connect SCSI tape recorder via USB to iMac ?
Is there any adapter/converter on the market now ?
Cheers, Marek

Thanks Jan.
Actually the reason to use Quantum SCSI tape recorder is to back-up big amount of data (propriety movies footage) both on PC (what is quite easy, using SCSII host adapter with VHDCI 68 connector) and iMac what seems to be not easy. All my search by Google leads to that conclussion, they finished production of SCSI-to-USB or FireWire because somebody stopped to produce chips to covert protocols. So even buying noe second-hand adapter, no guaranty it's still working with Lion (nobody is developing drivers anymore). Strange is, nobody or just a few are using SCSII (Ultra 320) devices (while the transfer is not bad, 320 MBps what is 2560 Mbps, so the only limitation is tape recording (some 80 MBps) not an interface. Using compression mode I can (and I do) record 1,6 TB of footage data. However quite slow, is safe and cheap, comparing with any HD storage solution. USB 2 is much more limited.
I'm using Time Capsule for buck-up. But even 3 TB one day will be full of data, then old back-ups will be eaten by new once, what is not good idea for archives. I'm using another 2TB NAS HD (2x2TB RAID 1), but this is also going to be full soon.
Of course, you are right, the option is another machine (OSX,Win,Linux or Solaris) equipped with SCSII controller. But this requires another machine, just for back-up time to time, and in practice iMac folders must be shared with that small auxiliary machine because amount of data practically excluding even temporary data collection on auxiliary machine. And it must be transfer by wire, not WIFI, my only network. Tape recording is in my case really good, professional solution, isn't it?
Anyway, if somebody has similar requirements as me, and found the solution for SCSI, please let me know. So far, follow Jan's idea, I'm thinking about some embeded mini PC, fanless, equipped with slot for SCSI, with SOME smart system on-board, to deal with iMac for type recording. The option is previous Apple model, but to be honest, I became Mac/OSX user 4 years ago. I fell in love with Mac, but my knowledge about previous models is based on Google....
My desk becomes full of boxes. Do you know how big Quantum TC-L42BX is ? Is very big. And now another box.....another keyboard....another screen... And one small adapter could solve the problem. Eh....
Best regards,

I recently got my iPhone 5 unlocked and the other day I updated my phone to ios 7. After doing so my phone shut off and turned on and it said I had no service. I guess it completely wiped out my unlock. I was wondering if anyone knows what I can do!

How, EXACTLY, did you get it "unlocked"? ONLY the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it. Anything else is a hack.
You can not get help here for a hacked phone.

Arris NVG589 Modem: ATTs Best?? OR is there a better one on the Market??

To start, Im not a total tech saavy person but i know enough to b dangerous. I currently have the Arris NVG589 and we have wireless signal problems and also pixelation on our TV service on ALL of our TVs (Wireless or ethernet). I have read that there is such a problem between these modems and picture quality on this board. We have had ATT here numerous times and they have replaced lines did this or did that to improve signal and picture quality to no avail. Ive also had the main board replaced (Not cheap but, under warranty) on my 65" Toshiba tv initially thinking it was a tv problem and only related to that tv, only to find out it was ALL our Tvs in the house, and all are less than 2 years old. So it goes back to the "Modem" issue again and replacement. Is the Arris NVG589 the most current model that ATT offers? Is there a better one on the market that could possibly alleviate these problems? Oh, I have a 1200 square ft. house, so coverage area for wireless isnt the problem because its so small. Thank you so much for any anticipated help in solving this mystery.

I would send a PM to and ask for them to send you a new modem. If you're lucky, you'll get a NVG599, but it will probably be another NVG589.

Vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

Disable your antivirus and firewall.
If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

Is it possible to buy an iPhone 4s unlocked in the US, and then use it normally and completely in France with Freemobile ?

Is it possible to buy an iPhone 4s unlocked in the US, and then use it normally and completely into France with Freemobile (which provides micro-SIM) ?
I'm travelling to NYC tomorrow and that would be 100€ less than in France...

Thank you for the quick answer
Do you mean that I can't reserve and pick up my phone in the local apple store as it's explained on the site (http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/) ?
What about the social security number asked in the formulary ? I've got a French one...

When Apple will release iPhone 6 unlocked in the US?

when Apple will release iPhone 6 unlocked in the US?
Loyal apple customers will switch to Samsung or HTC while these companies sell the devices unlocked.
only in the US the new iPhones are locked while they are sold unlock in the whole world.

This is not a chat room. It is a forum for iPhone users to help others with hardware problems. We have no idea when Apple will do anything, until they do it.

My iphone got unlocked after the update from itunes What do i do now?

My iphone got unlocked after the update from itunes What do i do now?

More information will be helpful, what do you mean by unlocked exactly? what happens when you make a call or tap on an application.

Not only is the iPhone 6 unlocked, but the t-mobile phones work on verizon!

if someone makes a youtube video or writes a news story about my post, this time around i really would appreciate some credit. saying rigor mortis from apple discussions' is good enough.
it turns out that the iPhone 6 and 6 plus model numbers #1459 and #1522 are universal. and both have the CDMA radio enabled. However, Sprint models are still separate as far as i know. i did not test Sprint. but as far as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, go , it is the EXACT same phone. i was playing around with my iPhone 6 on launch day. i wanted to see if "ask maggie" was right and the phone was locked to a specific carrier. i tried the T-Mobile and AT&T sims that i had. they do not have service.
however when i inserted my LIVE and ACTIVATED Verizon Sim into my iPhone 6 , my iPhone suddenly became a verizon iPhone. i was able to Place and Receive calls using CDMA, i was able to use DATA services, and i was able to send SMS messages. i assumed that VoLTE was not enabled. and it was not. i assumed
that you had to buy a Verizon model to get Volte. but i was wrong. it just took a while to activate. and i did see use VoLTE in settings, for Voice and DATA
however, since the IMEI and MEID serial numbers are not listed with Verizon, you are not able to either Sign up to verizon, or to transfer service to your new iPhone 6. your service is still tied to your SIM card. and when the iPhone 6 is running and active with your sim card, your device listed on "MY Verizon" will be shown as NON VZW device and it will only show the sim card. but a pre-activated sim card pulling from another device will work in the iPhone 6.
this is just like the iPad Air and the iPad Mini Retina. the only difference between these phones is the serial number is put in some list that tells someone which
carrier it supposed to belong to, and if it is locked or not. and which sim card came with the device. other then that. there are no technical differences between them. except for sprint of course.
whenever i inserted a new sim card into the iPhone 6, it automatically got carrier settings and changed its baseband.

the iPhones 5, 5c and 5s, were all shipped with CDMA disabled in GSM iPhones. this is the first iPhone ever to come out where the CDMA radio was not disabled. that is why i posted this thread. because a lot of people assume that the CDMA is still disabled and they are repeating things from previous models of the iPhone, without bothering to check. if i have offended you by wanting to post a message so more people would know what exactly that LTE page says then I apologize. Heck, I'm seeing a lot of web pages like modern reader that are still telling people they have to wait a few months for apple to release the unlocked iPhones.
which is totally untrue.
here is a good thread where you can see people just assuming that the CDMA was disabled. and the phones had different base bands.
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=19926968&posted=1#post19926968
the iPhone 6 sees your sim card and as long as its unlocked, downloads the new baseband on the fly. i don't know if this is a new feature
with all the viral news about bend gate, i don't understand why you seem to want to criticize my positive post and suggesting that apple gives away this information. with all the bad news about bend gate and 8.0.1 bugs. its very hard for a single person like me to get a positive iPhone experience out and offer iPhone tips.
when the iPad air and iPad mini retina came out, the universal support of T-Mobile - Verizon - AT&T and even sprint (under some circumstances) was big news. but now that we have bend gate and iOS 8.0.1 and bloggers who are just copying and pasting what the other blog says. no one seems to notice that the CDMA is turned on.

How do i tell if my iphone is unlocked for the US?

hi there
my husband has one of the old original Iphones that was purchased in the US back in 2007, it was brought into australia before they were available here and it was patched somehow so that he could use it here. he no longer uses it as we both have the newer models, his is the 16gb and mine is the 32gb, i will be in te US again in 2 weeks and i believe i will be unable to use my current iphone purchased in Aust, but i wonder if i might be able to use the original Iphone that was originally purchased there and just by a prepaid AT&T sim card if these are available? just trying to figure out how to tell if it's unlocked though?

Since all of the Australian carriers offer official unlocking, why don't you just get your current iphone unlocked? The original iphone you have was hacked to unlock it so it could be used where you live. Since it was originally locked to AT&T, it should work fine in the US. However, any attempt to update software or restore your original iphone will re-lock it to AT&T.
The real problem you'll run into in trying to use your iphone in the US is that AT&T has disabled data on all of its pre-paid sims for the iphone. That means you'll get voice, but no data. The only other GSM provider in the US is T-Mobile, but their 3G network is not compatible with the iphone. While you'll get both voice & data with T-Mobile, data will only be available on their Edge network, & their coverage is significantly less than AT&T's.

Hello, if I bought an iphone 5s unlocked in the US, can I use it in other countries (Spain,France,Portugal,Germany...) and use their SIM card?

hello, I was going to buy an Iphone 5s unlocked thru amazon, but I don't live in the US I live in europe (Spain,France,Portugal,Germany...), and I'm asking if I bought it, would i can use it there and use their SIM cards?
Sorry my english i'm not american.

Hi "sbjr10",
the short answer to your question is "yes".
But it depends on which iPhone you bought. That's the only thing that matters.
When it's an "unlocked" or "SIM-lock free" model, it's fine.
When it's unlocked, you can use it with any carrier in the world.
But that's not all. You'll have to check for your model,
if it's a CDMA or GSM one. Here's a link for that:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3939
So, when you want to check if it's SIM-lock free/ unlocked, call Apple.
I know only one number from Apple, it's the 0800 2000 136.
I don't know if it's only the number for germany, but, you can search on Google for it.
So, did you bought an unlocked model? Do you know?
I hope i solved your problem.
Let me know if you fixed it! Have a nice evening!

Can another person pick up my order(iphone 4S unlocked) in the store... if the person who bought the iphone isn't in the country.

I want to know that because I want to buy a iphone 4S unlocked with my father's credit card but the trouble is that we live in ECUADOR so my father cannot pick up that order.... but I have a uncle who live in United State that can pick up.... so I want to know if my uncle can pick up.
Sorry i don't speak english very well...
Thank you.

I can't think of any way to do that other than have your uncle purchase the phone with your uncle's credit card, and you reimburse him.
Keep in mind that if the phone needs to be repaired it must be returned to the US. You would be better off buying it in Equador - https://www.apple.com/la/iphone/

Iphone 5 unlocked for the US?

When will the iphone 5 unlocked version become available for preorder or buy for the US. You already offer it for Canada and possible others.?

Nobody knows the unlocked 5 release date in US untill now, but what about making a little expectation.
Apple usually launches iPhones on Fridays and the 4S launch date (14 October) was in the second Friday after the announcment (4 October) and the same scenario occurred for the 5 (Friday 21 Sep after announcment in 12 Sep).
then the unlocked 4S version shipped in US in the fourth Friday after the launch (11 Nov)
so the unlocked 5 will most probably be available on Friday 19 October.
