My iphone4 officially unlocked from AT

I got an iphone4 from US. It was officially unlocked from AT&T and is in use in India in a network here. While an update to iOS 5.1.1 was attempted, towards end of download in iTunes (10.6.3.25) an error message 'error -1450' appears and it fails to update; I am using Windows XP home in a Pentium 4 PC with 1 GB RAM, 2.93 GHz Processor, Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials for Internet Security and net connection with speed upto 2 Mbps. can anyone help. (please see the attached image also)

the representative of apple's reseller in nearby city of kochi told me that a minimum broadband bandwidth of
3 Mbps is required for the download to work smoothly. accordingly i changed my broadband bandwidth to above 3 Mbps. i tried with that bandwidth and the download and installation could be carried out smoothly. thanks for all help.

Only the original cellular provider can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact them to determine if they offer unlocking and if the phone qualifies.

Iphone 4s official unlocked from at&t could not activate

After the official unlock my Iphone 4s, I can not activate my Iphone. I send you Screenshots with problem.
ITunes says: "Your request couldn’t be processed. We’re sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later."
IPhone Says "Could not activate iphone' 'You Iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable"
This goes on for several weeks. On different computers and different wi-fi networks. On the same network successfully activate other iPhone. This Iphone Not activated as a SIM card AT&T, and with the local simcards. i trying restore iphone in recovery mode many times. This Iphone never be "hacked'
My name is Artur , i bought this phone on eBay , but I'm not the resident of USA . ModelNumber: MD271 (white 4s, 64), SerialNumber: C3*******TDR
This iphone official unlocked before activation.
The answer from one of the forums:
Good evening. I looked your Imei.
This is a problem more and more often. The fact is that when you first activate the phone is logged into the database of the operator to which he is attached to the server and Apple.
If you do the unlock before the first activation, the phone is removed from the database of the operator and to the base of Apple, he never misses. As a result, the phone just hangs in the air.
And it can not pass activation. Itself it does not pass. I know of only two ways to resolve the problem.
1) Call to Apple.
My friends say that engaged Fix this problem, but his services are worth $ 100, so I did not check. But the reviews are good. In your place, I would have called in Apple.
I called AT & T, they said they do not have access to the activation server Apple
I called Apple, the conversation lasted more than an hour, but the problem persists. Maybe they did not understand me because of bad language.
Please help.

"12/13/12 We regret to inform you that since yesterday afternoon the Apple server has been updating. This creates a slower than normal process time, we anticipate that the service will be back to normal no later than tonight"
I saw that somewhere. could be the reason why?

I have Iphone4 Factory-unlock from Etisalat (Dubai-UAE) and when trying to upgrade my IOS to 4.3.3 it always gives me error -3259 (err=-3259), any help. (F.I: My current IOS4.3 and Itunes 10.2 are all orginal from Apple)

As mentioned, i bought this phone from Etisalat (Dubai-UAE based operator) and i never face a issue perviously on updating an IOS, this time after downloading IOS 4.3.3 I always get a error (it says Network issue) with Number Err= -3259 and never lets me update the IOS on my Iphone 4. My Iphone is completly original (Meaning, not jail breaked) and its using Itunes 10.2.2. The reason i want to update is becuase after updating the current installed IOS (4.3.2) the battery life is really bad and when i want to restore my Iphone4, it wants to download the updated IOS software (4.3.3) and when trying to update its gives me error all the time and does not let me update or install it.
Any help and update on how to fix this issue.

Official Unlock from ATT Problems

I have iPhone 4 and have received permission from ATT for unlock.
They told me just to restore my phone from iTunes and I would get a message stating phone is unlocked.
I have restored 2 or 3 times and have received no such message.
Anybody had any experience with this yet?
Is there anyway to confirm whether phone is unlocked short of trying to put a new SIM card in?
Thanks,

if you bothered to to read I acknowledged it is not neccessary
I did read. You acknowledged it was not necessary for the AT&T lock. If you had bothered to read what I wrote, I was stating that the same applies to a European unlock despite your claim to the contrary.
having unlocked twice in UK it WAS neccessary but of course you know better
I have also unlocked twice in the UK. The first time was 2 days after O2 first started unlocking in October 2009. Neither time was it necessary to insert a SIM from a different network.
I don't necessarily know better, but I know it wasn't necessary for me or anyone else I know who has unlocked in Europe, nor does Apple say it is necessary either despite your "That is the way it works in Europe. See here" claim.

HT201328 Is there any way to confirm that Iphone4 is unlocked from existing carrier without swapping the SIM card from new carrier ?

I have followed AT&T instructions to unlock the phone and don't have any micro-SIM handy to try it out.

Did you receive the message that says "Congratulations! Your phone is now unlocked etc. etc." after completing the restore of your phone?
If so; Then the phone is completely unlocked.
If not; Then the unlock has not completed correctly, in which case you should attempt restoring again, and then failing that, contact ATT to make sure the unlock has fully processed from their end

Officially unlocked iPhone locked by O2

Hi,
I bought iPhone 4, officially unlocked from Apple store in UK, and it was Sim-free, but after installing O2 sim card in O2 store the guy their manage to lock my phone, now my phone is locked to O2 network and I can't be used in any other carrier
how it can be locked like this, is it possible to lock unlocked iPhones? and how to unlocked it?
Please help

Solarya,
If you bought an unlocked iPhone 4 from the Apple Canada store online, not an authorized reseller then the iPhone should remain unlocked no matter which carrier (Rogers, Fido, Bell, Telus, etc) MicroSIM you use. If it is locking it to the carrier and not allowing swapping of MicrSIM for another carrier then call the number below. Please post your outcome after calling Apple. Per the Apple Canada website:
"Your new iPhone. Direct from Apple and ready to use.
When you purchase your iPhone from the Apple Online Store, you’ll get it commitment-free. So you can sign up for service with the carrier of your choice and change your carrier at any time. Questions? Call our iPhone experts at 1-800-MY-APPLE."

TS1702 hi, my iPhone is a US purchased officially unlocked iPhone4. It is not jailbroken. My problem is, that apps either wont start or if they start then they quit after a short time and everything returns to the main page. I have IOS 5.1, I turn it off

Hi, as I said in the statement, my iPhone4 is unlocked, bought in the US on July 27th last year. I had this problem before so I had it returned to the USA as they would not do anything with it here in Hungary. I got a new one without extended warranty so it would expire in a week or so. And the same problem came up again a few days ago. I try to send sms, or open mail, p r use facebook, the apps quit on me while typing sms or chatting. I turn the phone off and on but it wont help. What should I do?
Thanks,
Tamás

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try each of these.

There may be a defect in the phone. As you bought it in the US the only place you can get it looked at is in the US.
When you say you bought it new, unlocked did you buy it directly from an Apple store? If you did not it was hacked to unlock it, which could also be your problem. Apple stores are the only place in the US that sells legitimately unlocked iPhones.

any idea how to do this?
Please advice

You need to visit Apple Store, and show ownership proof in case of forgotton pass code.

Officially Unlocked iPhone 4 from UK does not activate

Hi,
I have purchased an officially unlocked iPhone 4 from the UK checked the model number it is MC605B/A which is an unlocked model.
However when I insert the sim and connect it to iTunes it says that the sim is not accepted and is asking me to get a sim from a carrier which supports the iPhone
I don't understand ? I tried the same sim on another unlocked iPhone 4 and it works fine.
Please help

The way Apple post the information on their website it appears customers must order the unlocked iPhone online through Apple, not by going into the Apple store. Here in Canada the Apple stores can activate locked iPhones in the store for a specific carrier and the customer is directed online to buy the unlocked one at full price.
From Apple UK website:
"Your new iPhone. Direct from Apple and ready to use.
When you purchase your iPhone from the Apple Online Store, you’ll get it SIM-free. So you can sign up for service with the carrier of your choice and change your carrier at any time. Questions? Call our iPhone experts at 0800 048 0408.
Get iPhone at a lower price with a contract.
iPhone may also be available at a reduced price with a contract at an Apple Retail Store or from your wireless carrier."

Officially unlocked 3G iphone from Abu Dhabi duty free shop

In April 08 I had bought officially unlocked 3G iphone from Abu Dhabi duty free shop. They had told me that this is Apple officially unlocked iphone and can be upgraded later. When I upgraded my phone to 3.0 from 2.2, my phone got locked. So be aware of this ..

Hello, I think I'm experiencing the same problem. Officially unlocked 3G, no network anymore after upgrading to 3.0. Restart/Restore didn't help. The SIM card doesn't seem to be the evildoer, it works in other phones. The iphone is not locked, it works with other SIM cards. seems somehow the combination of phone and sim causing problems. Didn't resolve that yet. You?

IPhone4 is officially unlocked?

my friend bought an iPhone 4 frm USA, last month he connected his phone in to iTune nd suddenly its said "Congratulation your iPhone has been unlocked" !
so... i wanna know hw its happen? Apple officially unlocked iPhone or something else?
How i can unlock my iPhone 4 (offcourse officially)
Thank you so much.

Apple was unlocking iPhones. Many people don't know this but Tim Cook's office was performing special unlocking requests. This stirred up some heat and now AT&T will unlock iPhones to current customers who are in good standing and are done with their obligated term of commitment (including having paid an early termination fee.) on Sunday April 8, 2012.
If you have paid the no-commitment price, AT&T will unlock your phone too.
AT&T's Statement:
“Beginning Sunday, April 8, we will offer qualifying customers the ability to unlock their AT&T iPhones. The only requirements are that a customer’s account must be in good standing, their device cannot be associated with a current and active term commitment on an AT&T customer account, and they need to have fulfilled their contract term, upgraded under one of our upgrade policies or paid an early termination fee.”

Can I use officially unlocked iPhone in different countries?

I'm moving to Rome with my job for eight months, then on to Chicago for four months, then back to London. I'm trying to find out if I buy an unlocked Pay as You Go iPhone in one of the various EU countries selling manufacturer unlocked units (France, Germany, Italy, etc) , will it work in each country if I switch to that country's telecom's Sim cards.
The blogs and iPhone dedicated websites are full of opinions but no one seems to have definitive experience doing this. Some users say it should work, others say the EU iPhones are unlocked for the specific country of purchase but will not work with another country's telecom's Sim cards. The Apple Stores will not confirm any usage outside their own country. Similar response from the relevant telecoms. The Apple Support pages do not make any reference to cross country usage beyond roaming.
A privately unlocked iPhone is an option but I prefer an official unlock so there are no hassles. Not looking for opinions here - can find more than enough on the internet. I'm looking for actual first hand experience using these officially unlocked iPhones between countries.

Thanks for the correction on the relevant carriers. Looking at the European options: Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, and Czech Republic should work based on details from Apple's carrier list.
Before I buy I would like to confirm someone has actually purchased an unlocked iPhone in either Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg or Czech Republic and used it with Sim cards from another country.
