Official carrier of my iphone

Hi guys, if I would like to know to which carrier is my iphone locked to, how can I know such thing?

If you don't know the carrier which also means that the iPhone is not officially unlocked by the carrier.
In short, it was unofficially unlocked (hacked or jailbroken) the chance of activation is very very low.

  • Import iPhone 3G locked even on official carrier

    Hi, I've bought an unlocked iPhone 3G from Thailand a year back for use in Singapore with M1 (Singtel the only iPhone retailer). Since then, my telco M1 has become a supported carrier as well. Recently, there has been an update which I went for, and now my phone is locked. Both Apple Singapore and my telco has said that there is nothing they can do. The error message says "insert sim card by supported carrier." I have already done so. I have tried other avenues but nothing has worked so far. My only hope is an official unlock, but I am unable to find the origin of the iPhone. Please help me Apple.

    As stated already you are going to have to contact the original carrier to see about getting the unit unlocked.
    Now the real question will be where the unit came from. According to the carrier list from Apple all iPhones sold in Thailand are not locked to any carrier. So if it came from Thailand originally the update should have had no influence on the iPhone.

    If the phone was purchased new from a carrier in Thailand over a year ago then I would suggest calling them for support. There are also links in the above Apple support document for all the official carriers and support information so you could check with the two official Thailand carriers.
    If the phone was purchased elsewhere in Thailand then, maybe call Apple to see if they can see where the phone originated from. If you are lucky then maybe you can find the original carrier and if you are even luckier maybe they offer the ability to unlock your iPhone.
    If you can't get it unlocked then you don't have many options. You could always sell the unit online, but you might not get much for the iPhone as at the moment (and probably won't be) there is no way to hack 3.1.3 to unlock the iPhone to other carriers.

  • HT201328 If my carrier unlocked my iPhone and it needs to be replaced under warranty. Do apple sends an unlocked phone.

    If my carrier unlocked my iPhone and it needs to be replaced under warranty. Do apple sends an unlocked phone. Or I have to get it unlocked again from carrier.

    Once Carrier unlocks any iPhone, this is entered in to Apples data base. Therefore, as replacement under warranty you get unlocked iPhone.

  • HT5538 My boss has an IPhone from a different carrier than my iPhone. I want to set up iMessage so we can text each other for free. Is that possible? If so, what do I do to my phone and/or hers to set it up?

    My boss has an IPhone from a different carrier than my iPhone. I want to set up iMessage so we can text each other for free. Is that possible? If so, what do I do to my phone and/or hers to set it up?

    Just turn on iMessage... Settings > Messsages > iMessage > On
    Note that iMessage uses data (very small amount) so you need a cellular data (3G/4G) or wifi connection for iMessagae to work.  Also, in the Messages app, iMessages are blue and standard text messages are green.

    No one but Apple can tell you can. Contact AppleCare and ask them.
    If you purchased your phone from a legitimate source, you wouldn't have to ask.

  • How to get from Apple (officially) details on my iphone 5 (knowing the serial number): model, date of sale, the date of activation, etc.

    How to get from Apple (officially) details on my iphone 5 (knowing the serial number): model, date of sale, the date of activation, etc. I bought a new iphone 5 on ebay.com - he was used. For a decision on my case ebay asks for this information ...

    Apple will never reveal that info to you, since you were not the originally purchaser. However, you can get the date of sale by entering the SN here:

    Warranty starts on the date of sale, which is most likely the date of activation, but not necessarily so.

  • Find out the carrier lock on iPhone 3GS

    Hi,
    How can i found out on which carrier network my iPhone 3GS iOS 4.1 is locked on? The Model number is: MC131FB
    Thanks

    Apart from inserting different networks SIMs and finding out which it works and doesn't work on, there is no way to tell which network an iPhone is or isn't locked to.

  • HT201412 I don't know the carrier of my iPhone ? How can I know it ?

    My friend has bought me an iPhone 4s from UK. But, the problem is it still locked to carrier which I don't know it
    Please who has any idea to know the carrier ....Let me know
    My IMEI is : 013007005494976
    Many thanks in advance for who would help me

    Call AppleCare in the UK & they will tell you the carrier your phone is locked to, or ask your friend.
    Won't do you any good though, as the UK carriers won't authorize the unlocking of your phone unless you are a current or former customer...obviously, you are not.
    Mail it back to your friend & either purchase an iPhone where you live, or have your friend get you an officially unlocked iPhone or this phone unlocked.
    Good luck.

  • Official Apple reseller says "iPhone 5s's camera is much worse than the other"

    Hi Apple support and fans,
    I am writing to ask you and maybe get Apple's attention to what happened to me. I bought an iPhone 5s 8 days ago. I bought it from official Apple reseller in Warsaw, the capital city of Poland. And then my adventures began.
    First, the plug is British, not Polish, because as the reseller said "we have some iPhone not from official distribution, but it will work". Because I needed to buy an iPhone5s fast, I accepted that. However, the question is still there - is it legal to sell British iPhones "from unofficial distribution channel" in Poland?
    Second, and more important, my iPhone 5s makes horrible blurred pictures. I mean they are really blurred... I read all the posts on this forum and I tried everything. Finally I decided to visit the reseller and here is what their representative said: "These pictures are totally fine. They are blurred, as this is not a professional camera". Wow! What a discovery. I know that this is not a professional camera, but I know how photos from an iPhone (4 and 4s) might look like. So I replied that something is strange and I wanted to give my iPhone back to check it (under warranty). The representative replied: "We will not take it, and I'm telling you the pictures are all fine. The camera in iPhone 5s is much worse than it was in iPhone 4s and hence the blurred photos. Just live with that". 
    And now my questions:
    1. Is it true that the pictures must be blurred in iPhone 5s, just because it works so? I can't bvelieve it.
    2. Isn't the fact that they sell iPhones from "unofficial channels" the reason why they don't want to take the iPhone under warranty?
    If anyone from Apple wants to take a closer look at this issue and maybe discover some "strange" actions from Polish official Apple reseller, I'm open to provide you much more details on the purchase, the store location, etc.
    Looking forward to hearing from you,
    Kuba

    iPhones are ONLY sold by Carriers and Apple an Apple reseller is unlikely to be authorised for iPhones and certainly would not sell an iphone with a foreign plug
    You have clearly purchased a grey import a genuine Polish sourced iPhone sold by a legitimate iPhone reseller would have the correct plug for the Country
    Big issue you have is warranty you need to take to an Apple authorised repairer

    luckily as long as iPhone came from UK you do have warranty ,EU is one "country" for Apple warranty purposes

  • HT201328 My Carrier unlocked my iphone. If I reset to factory defaults will my phone go back to being locked to my carrier?

    I upgraded my phone and my friend wanted my iphone 4. I got a code form my carrier to unlock it as she is on a different carrier. I unlocked the phone and gave it to her. It's all working fine apart from she can't put her itunes library on to the phone as it comes up with a message saying that my itunes is locked. If she factory resets the phone so she can register it to her itunes from the start will it be locked back to my carrier again??
    Any help would be great. Even if theres another work around.
    Thanks people.

    (IF) it was OFFICIALLY unlocked by your carier, then it should still remain unlocked.
    -the itunes issue sounds like the handset has retained your itunes account &settings, and therfor will not connect to (her) account.
