Need Iphone 3GS carrier unlocked..

Hi I am looking for a Iphone 3GS carrier unlocked....Where can I buy?

I live in the UK and paid £440 back in February, had it officially unlocked via the network o2 for £15. So if you find a legit UK Ebayer selling an o2 officially unlocked iPhone, you should be safe. Ask the seller questions for reassurance. The reason why I say this cos I bought a phone EBay once that turned out to be jailbroken, luckily the seller took it back and refunded me.

    No. We are user and can't do that
    To unlock your iPhone you must ask your carrier to do that.
    Please stop typiung in caps. It is considered shouting on the web which is impolite besides that it is more difficult to read.

  • Hello, did apple ever make iphone 3gs officially unlocked without contract commetment please?

    hello, did apple ever make iphone 3gs officially unlocked without contract commetment please?

    Outside of the US, some carriers sold unlocked iPhone 3GSs as per the laws of the country in which they operated. At no time has the iPhone 3GS (or any iPhone prior to the iPhone 4) been available unlocked in the US, nor will it be unlocked. You can pay full retail price or complete a contract term, but no iPhone will be unlocked by AT&T. You can buy an unlocked iPhone 4 from Apple and use it any where, but you will pay full retail price for the phone.
    Next time do a search before you post a question. There are hundreds (not an exaggeration) of threads and responses to this question.

  • IPhone 3GS OFFICIALLY UNLOCKED - but Activated fail - HELP!!

    Hello - I recently had my iPhone 3GS Officially unlocked by following the AT&T Unlock Program.
    The iPhone was previously running iOS 4.1 (8B117). After I did the restore to iOS 6.0.1 using iTunes. iTunes displays a message, saying its unable to complete the activation at this time. So i gave it a few hours and tried again, but I still get the same error message.
    Can anyone please help me, fix this?
    P.S: I am trying to use a AIRTEL (India) SIM in the phone.

    Was it hacked or jailbroken BEFORE you requested a legitimate unlock from AT&T?
    If so, the hack has rendered it unable to process the legitimate unlock.

  • Iphone 3GS Factory Unlocked with Orange in France Not working.

    So the story is as follows.
    I was working in France for the last few months on a ship. The engineer i was working with recived an iPhone from Orange as a bonus on his plan. He did not want the phone so he gave it to me. We talked to orange and had it unlocked. I did not use it as a phone while working as i had no real need for it. Nor did i want it to go for an accidental swim.
    I have now returned home to Australia. With what I thought was a factory unlocked Iphone 3Gs. I restored the iphone firmware to Iphone OS 3.1.3 placed my optus Sim Card in to the iphone and connected it to my computer.
    I am greeted with the following message:
    "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported Carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card."
    I called the apple support line and i was told that without the orginal sim card there was nothing i could do.
    I can not get the SIM card of the engineer as he is in france. I can still use the shipping agent to get in contact with orange.
    If anyone knows of a solution to this problem it would be much apppreciated as right now i have shiny paperweight.
    How can i get the phone to work with my optus SIM card?

    It sounds like it was never unlocked by Orange in the first place and without his SIM you can do nothing.
    Optus cannot do anything for you as only the original carrier can unlock it and that requires the original SIM card.
    Its a brick until you return to France with the SIM card and then probably pay to get it unlocked - I can't recall if they do official unlocking there but its pretty likely.

    what kind of sim that support locked 3gs???
    A SIM from the carrier that the device is locked to.
    Riandy Radiation wrote:
    or is there any tool for unlocking??
    No, there are no tools for unlocking.
    Only the carrier the device is locked to can officially unlock it.  Contact them to find out their requirements for unlocking.

  • No service after iPhone 3GS Factory Unlock. (This phone has NOT been jailbroken)

    Hi
    I would be greatful of any advice for my problem. I have bought an iPhone 3GS from my friend who had it locked to O2. She has had it since new and never jailbroken it.
    I have just got it factory unlocked and also have not jalibroken the phone. When I restored the phone I got the congratulatory message on iTunes, and it shows the correct phone number for the SIM I want to use and the carrier listed in Settings>General>About is now correct too.
    I am now receiving no signal whatsoever. I have tried restoring network settings, restoring the whole phone again, toggling airplane mode, removing the sim and reinserting when off/ on etc and nothing is changing. Whenever I put my SIM my old phone, it's picking up signal absolutely fine.
    If anyone has any other advice, I would be very grateful.
    Thank you.

    If the Unlock was NOT done through O2...  then that would be the cause of your issue.

  • IPHONE 3GS OFFICIALLY UNLOCKING

    I HAVE A IPHONE 3GS WHICH I BUYED FROM EBAY IT WAS USED IN USA WITH AT&T FOR A YEAR .BUT SINCE I LIVE IN INDIA I WANT TO OFFICIALLY UNLOCK IT SO THAT I CAN USE IT WITH INDIAN CARRIERS.SO IS THERE A WAY I CAN UNLOCK MY PHONE OFFICIALLY .
    PLEASE TELL ME HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO UNLOCK IT

    when you buy an apple iphone from ebay you must insist on iphone that was originally sold by a UK carrier or the carrier that supports unlocking.
    Unlocking is dependent on carrier networks that are in agreement with Apple.
    apple under no circumstances will unlock an iphone that is not supported
    for unlocking. such as AT&T in US don't sell unlocked iphones.

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED - iPhone 3Gs no longer detected or charged by MacBook

    My iPhone 3Gs (3.1) has been running fine, until several hours ago today, when I plugged it to my MacBook, the iPhone is no longer detected - it doesn't show up in iTunes, nor it is charged. I tried opening iPhoto, and it wasn't there too. Not with Image Capture too. I tried charging it using the out-of-box wall charger using the same out-of-box USB cable I use for MacBook, and it can be charged without any problem. Then I put it into Recovery mode, and there iTunes can see it. I don't want to restore it before I figure out exactly what went wrong, as I don't want the restore process somehow gets stuck in the middle that the connection is lost again.
    I've tried reinstalled iTunes, including completely removal of Apple Mobile Device Support, as instructed by Apple. But still no luck.
    I've tried switching to another USB port of my MacBook. No luck.
    My iTunes is the latest 9.0.1, and my Mac OSX is 10.6.1. My iPhone is on 3.1, upgraded from 3.0.
    I've read from web that it seems I'm not the only one out there having this problem. But none of them seem having any real working solution.
    Urgent help needed & appreciated. Millions of thanks in advance.
    Gary

    1. I used both cables - theirs & mine ... and on several macs
    2. yes, same cable for wall & mac
    3. as said, i did completely remove & install itunes (incl. apple mobile device support), as instructed on the apple webpage
    anyway, did a restore just now. it seems okay now. but the problem is i have no idea what cause this, and i can't replicate the problem. so i don't know when it will happen again ... maybe a bug with os 3.1 ... others on web said os 3.1 is quite buggy ...

  • HT201412 Iphone 3GS factory unlocked but jailbroken by thieves. How can it be restored to original unlocked status

    Iphone 3GS bought factory unlocked in Malaysia. The phone was stolen and jailbroken. I tried to restore after a battery change.iTunes updated system but now it cannot be restored. Pls let me know if Apple can help?

    I thought this was an exceptional case. It was originally factory unlocked. Being stolen it underwent the changes and came back to the original owner. Police records are available to confirm.

  • IPhone 3g carrier unlocked - Searching...

    Hi, guys i bought an iPhone 3g which is carrier unlocked (at least this is what some websites tell me when i enter my IMEI). The problem is with my t-mobile card its working but with my o2 card it says Searching... any idea whats wrong??

    Thanks,
    well all iphone phones are tmobile locked, because my phone is older than 2 years (in germany this is the contract time) i can free from charge unlock it, from t-mobile.de site, i did that yesterday (i already did that with several other phones and they work perfectly), and the phone is actually "unlocked" but not "activated" but when i connect with itunes, i get the "restore, update " stuff, but i dont get the "activated" message? but i am only saying that because i am a "newbie" and i dont know what might help or not, so if you still have no answer, ill really call apple support and ask them. thanks again
