Locked iphone 4 help

i purchased iphone 4 sim free used an o2 sim to activate now apple tell me it is now locked to o2. o2 are refusing to unlock it for me and apple dont seem to want to help i thought sim free neant you could use any sim but obviously not i just want to use my orange sim but it wont accept it any help would be appreciated

The whole idea of a sim free phone is just that. It can be used with a sim from any network that supports the type of network the phone is compatible with as it is unlocked. Putting a sim from one network into a sim free phone will not automatically lock it to that network. Have you actually tried an Orange sim in the phone ?

"I live in Egypt and I bought the iPhone from bonehead..."
It reads as though a bonehead bought the phone. Regardless, remove the SIM, and the carrier's name may be printed on it. Too, you can try an Apple store, and have someone check its serial number database. The database will indicate in which country the iPhone was initially sold, and to which carrier it was assigned.

Locked iPhone need help

Weeks ago I bought an iPhone 4 from a friend and he said that the phone is locked to Orange(France) i checked the IMEI and I saw that the phone has 1 year left on until the contract ends.Is it possible to unlock the iPhone and how much will it cost?Is is possible to be unlocked for free?

I know and I tried but they told me some stupid things that made me angry and I was just wondering if someone here know a better solution.A friend of mine told me that it is possible to be unlocked after the third month of the contract so all I am asking is if someone from Apple is able to see this to contact me and tell me if it is possible to unlock my iPhone without talking with the carrier?Also I dont know any info about the past of the phone.

I check with my service provider as well as I synchronized with iTunes , changed time manually with the right time zone. Unfortunately the problem keeps showing

Hi Courcoul
Thanks for stepping by
To tell the truth I forgot to mention that I already did what you said, even more I tried all "reset" options including:
Reset all settings
Erase All content and settings
Reset Network settings
Etc
Even
Reset location and Privacy
It keeps showing the problem

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock
it. Contact them to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Apple does not unlock iPhones - wireless carrier has this responsibility.

I presume you mean that you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten. If that is correct, you will need to restore the iPhone from the computer to which the iPhone is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

If you're not referring to the screen lock, please post back and clarify.

I recently changed my lap top. My problem is the new lap top won't accept my apple I D it asked me to sing up for a new one which I did.
I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

You need the Apple ID and password from the previous owner who set the Activation Lock. Where did you get this phone?
