My contract with Telcel has expired can I unlock my iphone 3gs to use with other carriers?

I would like to use my old i-phone 3GS while travelling abroad, is it posible to unlock it from the carrier telcel, the 18 month contract is already expired.

Yes, that is the official page on Telcel's website with links to PDFs describing the unlocking procedure, and forms required to complete.
The unlocking procedure includes this reminder: "the 'Official Mexican Standard NOM-184-SCFI-2012' states that cell phones purchased after October 23, 2012—when the rule became effective—must be unlocked for free if you ask." It implies that phones purchased before October 23, 2012 cannot be unlocked.

    You will have to talk to the carrier who locked the devie orginally; ain't nothing in this world for free...devices are locked due to contracts. They sell you devices for a portion fo the retail price and need the contract to make their money back.

  • Can I unlock my Iphone to allow use of the foreign sim card?

    I am going to be traveling outside of the country and I am told i can purchase a sim card to use there to keep form using so much data. Can I unlock my iphone to allow use of my sim card?

        Hello eureka1881!
    I hope you have a great time on your trip outside the country! Since this is a forum for the iPhone 4, I'm sorry to tell you that your device is not global capable, and is not able to use a foreign SIM card. It is able to work in some countries, but it depends on the country. You can find the information here: http://vz.to/QsoDVl
    Thanks!

  • Can I unlock my iphone 3gs for free

    Im using a iphone 3gs locked to O2-UK, I no longer live in UK can I unlock my iphone for free. It's no point of paying for it because it's an old one.

    You will need to contact O2 to determine their unlocking policy, and if you qualify.

  • Unlocked old iPhone 3GS for use with pay as you go sim in the UK on vacation. O2 sim works while ph plugged in.  Unplugged, works short time and crashes.  Sometimes won't even re-boot.  Software on phone up to date as far as 3GS goes.

    I brought an old IPhone 3GS to the UK on vacation for use with sim card.  I had the phone unlocked with approval and instructions from ATT.  Store in the UK recommended O2 pay as you go sim which works as long as the phone remains plugged into the wall.  Once unplugged, it will work for a short time and then always crashes.  Sometimes it will re-boot and crash again and sometimes it will not re-boot at all.  One store told me to sync with itunes which I did on my Mac Book.  I don't know if the sim is defective or if the software of the 3GS is just not compatible with the sim when on the battery.  I have updated the software on the phone as far as it will go.  Any suggestions?  Maybe the phone is too old to use with the latest pay as you go sim cards.  I am disappointed that this phone has not been reliable as a pay as you go and I have had to purchase a UK phone here in order to have a reliable phone.

    There is nothing you can do. You bought an illegally unlocked phone off Ebay. A lot of sellers there will tell you it is unlocked but the first time you try to update the operating system it will put the lock back on to the carrier the phone was originally locked to. Sorry but unless the carrier it was locked to will unlock the phone I am afraid you have a very expensive paper weight now. You should have bought it from a reputable dealer instead of ebay.
