Sorry, but unless Orange authorized your phone's unlocking...it appears they did not...your phone was jailbroken to unlock it.
The only way to fix this is to see if Orange will authorize the official unlocking of your phone.
We can't help you here.
Good luck.

i have orange locked iphone 4 in pakistan and i am using telenor network is this support to iphone?

The iPhone won't work unless it is unlocked.

I LOST MY IPHONE 5S, still trackable and has an ORANGE LOCK SYMBOL.

Hi people, NEED URGENT HELP!
Firstly, I have to say this information : I live in Indonesia and I cannot count on Indonesian police here. However, here, in MOST CASES you can solve everything with money.
Two days ago I lost my Iphone 5s at a KTV place at 1 am, i know i was so stupid. It was on low-batt when I left it.
I think one of the waiter/waitress took it and brought it home and they would sell it to second-hand shop. Of course, I checked back and nobody would give me back my Iphone.
I put the FIND MY IPHONE on and Activation Lock ( the orange lock symbol ). I searched it on ICLOUD.COM/#FIND and it was online. I called it and whoever found it did not pick it up and I thought I should put it in lost mode and play sound. Not far from the KTV, at a huge market and I got emails. Sound was played several times on my phone and it went offline.
I almost lost hope, but the phone still have an orange lock sign and I had a passcode, finger print lock, and of course nobody knows my Apple ID.
At 9 am the next day, it was trackable again and I played two sounds (the sound from Find My Iphone) and I can see the phone is in 10 % battery. It went offline, i guess he/she was shocked because of the sound. At 5 pm I got email again, it was moved to a place also not far from there.
My parents went to the police station near the MARKET area (the market is huge, but mostly food and clothes. Very few electronic shop) and asked the head of police if they could help me find it and bought it back even ( because they'd rather throw it away than telling the truth). The police said he would help and asked several shops that sell second handphone the next day (which is today) because when my parents arrived, all the shops are already closed.
I am still tracking this Iphone because I think anybody could not sell a phone without a charger, without the passcode, and without my Apple ID. And the most relieving thing is the LOCK symbol in the Iphone. I think the lock symbol means that the person still can't jailbreak it and they can't sell it.
I know they can move it when it was offline, but i will still track them when they "SOMETIME LATER" put it online again.
What do you think? Does the LOCK symbol in my Iphone means that whoever he/she was can't use or access the phone or jailbreak it? Is there any chance that I can find this Iphone? And also, my Iphone's serial number has been registered in Apple Support. And it was still under MY NAME the last time it went offline.

I want to remove all my data, but also still want to find this Iphone 5s ( because it is still locked and under my name ) using the head police help ( which has been promised reward for finding it, because that's just how Indonesia works -_- ) until tonight, if it ever does appear online again. I just got it two weeks ago and that night I was clumsy (world cup + KTV + beers) and I desperately want to get it back if i could.
Everyone who has this problem should know that Icloud.com is very useful because :
1. I literally can access all my contacts, reminders, and so on from the ICLOUD.com
2. They notify you when your phone is found to your email (Apple ID) with the address.
3. I can put a customized message to whoever found it and put a number to call for whoever found it (Lost Mode)
The only thing that bothers me :
The address sent to my email was not precise, only show the area, not the literal place.
The map satellite needs to be updated (from 2013 still) and can't be zoomed in to much.
-But, it still helps me to find it and narrow the area of search.
I only HOPE that this person has a heart to give it back. Thank you gail from maine

This is a big monopoly, now I can not use my phone because i upgrade to the latest version. .
**** them!
Apple 'allows' ALL carriers to lock their phones to their networks. That's how it's always worked. And you upgrading to the newest versionhas nothing to do with it.
Call Orange. Ask them to unlock your device. That is your ONLY option.

Worthwhile buying a locked iphone -and if so, which?

Hello, I saw that buying a (2nd hand) locked iphone is cheaper than an unlocked iphone (yes I'm a newbie.) Is it worth saving 30-50 pounds buying a locked phone? And why is there a difference in price between locked phones with different providers (O2 is significantly more expensive than Orange, for example)?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. I have another question (the forum isn't allowing me to submit new questions.)
I'm thinking of getting an iphone 3G 8GB Black. How does this compare to newer models (specifically the iphone 4) when it comes to web browsing, reading and watching videos?
Very very old will only support iOS 4.2.1 and we are now on 8.0.2
OK as a 3G phone but if you want to do anything more challenging then an iPhone 4 or 4S should be starting point
Check the deals offered by UK carriers on older iPhones

I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
may offer a solution.

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.

I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country

I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country.

You can buy an unlocked iPhone at any of the 5 Apple stores in NYC. All are open on Sunday. Note a couple of things, however:
US iPhone 5's will work on 3G in the rest of the world, but not on LTE because the US phones use different channels than other countries
Be sure you say "unlocked", not "no contract"
If it breaks it must be returned to a US store for repair, and if shipped to Apple it must be from and to a US address

How do I find the Serial number of a locked iphone?

How do I find the Serial number of a locked iphone?

Thanks but unfortunately I don't have any of those items to do that. Just have the phone. We are a third party support provider for Pharma companies and they send in their HW when users leave the company or are let go. This particular client deployed this device outside of our company at some point so we did not have the luxury of recording that info when deployed. We also cannot reach the original user to obtain the passcode. All we need is the serial number but need a way to access that on the phone without the passcode and without resetting or restoring the phones IOS.

Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

You will need a SIM to activate it. There is no way around that. The SIM does not have to be active, but it must be from the correct carrier if the phone is carrier locked. Once activated, it can be removed and used like an iPod touch, but if you ever have to restore or update iOS, you will need the SIM to re-activate it.

ITunes could not copy "Beethoven's Symphony No 9 (from "A Clockwork Orange")" to iPhone "Heywood Floyd's iPhone" because the file could not be read or written

Hello, i am having the following problem...
"iTunes could not copy "Beethoven's Symphony No 9 (from "A Clockwork Orange")" to iPhone "Heywood Floyd's iPhone" because the file could not be read or written" [ ... and yes, Heywood Floyd is an avatar name..]
With this...
a. it occurs when I try to synch my iphone with iTunes.
b. I have tested the "Beethoven's Symphony No 9" files that I have found on my iTunes, and my iPhone, as there is a copy of "Beethoven_ Symphony No. 9, _Choral_" folder that is the concert from Bernard Haitink & London Symphony Orchestra;
c. This is where is get weird, a sort of Jack Torrance moment, they only file related to "A clock work orange" is 06 A Clockwork Orange - Ode to Joy.m4p...
So what is happening, and how can I resolve this, as I am not able to synch between my mac and my iPhone....

Check the media source drive for errors.
See also Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows. Not sure it is relevant but can't hurt.
If iTunes is confused about what media is and is not on the device take these steps:
Backup the device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore from the earlier backup.

If I got an unlocked iPhone 4s would I be able to use a 3G network? Like so when there is no wifi network can I use a 3G network if I got an unlocked iPhone? Or do you have to have a locked iPhone to do this?

if I got an unlocked iPhone 4s would I be able to use a 3G network? Like so when there is no wifi network can I use a 3G network to go on the internet when i am out if I got an unlocked iPhone? Or do you have to have a locked iPhone to do this?

If I am reading your question correctly, yes if there is no wifi
you can use 3G IF you have a contract with a wireless provider
and the appropriate SIM card if required. Being unlocked does not
give you access to 3G for free; you still have to pay for it. Same
for locked iPhone. Difference is that you would have to get contract
with whatever provider the iPhone is locked to if you have locked
iPhone; if iPhone is unlocked, you will have to make a choice from
your local providers.
If this does not answer your questions, please post back with more
details and someone will answer you.

Iphone 6 64GB (model: A1586) + Sprint Carrier + have paid full price of 749 USD (excl taxes in Nov 2014) = Unlocked or Locked Iphone 6??

Hi all,
How should I start. Will try to keep it short and to the point:
I was in US in Nov 2014 for work
In Nov 2014, I have purchased on online Apple Store US in first instance an Iphone 6 64GB (model: A1549) with T-mobile carrier (unlocked version) for a price of 749 USD (excluding taxes & etc)
Upon arrival at Apple Store at Monterey, CA, to pick up above purchase. I had discussed with Apples sales person that I lived in The Netherlands and that latter purchase should be compatible on the Dutch mobile phone carrier: Vodafone and that full LTE-capabilities would work in The Netherlands.
This Apple Sales person had advised me that I should purchase a different model and should change from model: A1549 to model: A1586.
He showed me this website: https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/. Based on this site and his expertise, I believed him and have changed above model and have purchased an Iphone 6 64GB (model: A1586) with Sprint Carrier for price of 749 USD (exl taxes & etc)
I have read so many stories online, that I am screwed with this above purchase, because I have purchased a simlocked Iphone and that I will not be able to use this phone to its fullest capabilities and also not workable with my Dutch simcard of Vodafone.
I kindly ask your expertise opinion, whether my Iphone 6 64GB (model: A1586) + Sprint Carrier + have paid full price of 749 USD (in Nov 2014) is sim-"Unlocked" or sim-"Locked" Iphone??
If "Locked", are there any solution to have it unlocked since start of, I think, Jan or Feb 2015 Sprint carrier will be selling unlocked Iphone 6. Prior to latter date, it doesn't say whether they will apply this retrospectively for other phones as well.
If "Unlocked", please confirm how I can check this? If I look at the current price for the Iphone 6 with the Sprint carrier and 2 year contract. This combination is being sold for 199 USD (excl taxes). I would think that my Iphone is unlocked since I have paid 749 USD (excl taxes) in Nov 2014.
Please, please help me guys...I guess this is lesson learned for me the next time to do a better research before buying any Apple Iphones in US to be used in Europe (in this case The Netherlands).
Thank you in advance for your help and taking a look into this issue.

Hi Peter,
I did insert my Dutch Vodafone simcard on the Iphone and it works.
I read on some newsgroup that at some point I will not be able to make use this phone, because Sprint would give a certain window to activate the Iphone and if you don't do it, then it would lock the usage of any simcard beside a Sprint simcard. Due to latter, I got nervous and wanted to check this to be sure that there is no need to get stressed all about it.
Indeed, you are right, just checked the model of my Iphone 6 an can confirm is a (CDMA) Sprint MG6G2LL/A.
I am not sure what you mean whether I have "activated" my Iphone. For my understanding, could you please explain what you mean with "activate"?
Did I need to follow certain procedures on the Iphone? I just took out the Sprint carrier simcard when I came back to NL and just popped in my Dutch Vodafone simcard on this phone and was able to internet with LTE and receive and make calls.
When I purchased this Iphone in US, there was indeed a Sprint carrier simcard in the iphone. I never did anything with this Sprint carrier simcard.
I had only made of use of this Iphone in US and in The Netherlands:
of its (free) wi-fi capabilities on the road during my stay in US and
had tested it in US by inserting a Dutch T-mobile simcard and a Dutch Vodafone simcard in this Iphone.
And I was able to calls and receive calls with both Dutch simcards on this Iphone in US.
Upon arrival back in The Netherlands I was able to make use of the 4G/LTE capabilities.
But did find out that sometimes it would act weird and therefore I had linked it that it was due to the Sprint simlock.
Based on above facts, what would your answer be? Did I miss something else that I needed to take account on?
And to be frankly, looking at the paid price for the Iphone 6 64GB of approx 749 USD (paid in Nov 2014) and the price offered for a Iphone 6 64GB icm Sprint subscription would be 299 USD (as of today, Jan 2015). I would assume that I have unlocked version. Wouldn't you agree on this?

okay, but just to be safe, how can we be sure that our phone is fatory unlocked? because my cousin apparently had a factory unlocked iphone 3g and updated it iOS 6.1.3 and it got locked
Your cousins phone was therefore not, in fact, factory unlocked. An iPhone sold directly by Apple as unlocked will never lock because of an iOS update.
An iPhone unlocked by going through proper procedures and channels with the carrier to whom it was originally locked will never lock again because of an iOS update.
An iPhone hacked to unlock it (which is unlocked by ANY other means then the first two) will lock again whenever iOS is updated.
If I had to guess, I would say 90% of privately sold iPhones sold as "unlocked" are in fact merely hacked to unlock them, and WILL relock when updated.
Some iPhones sold in Europe are also sold as "SIM free" and contract free, but do in fact lock to the carrier of the first SIM inserted in them. No contract, or "SIM free" does not mean unlocked.

I buy lock iphone from bestbuy last 6 months ago. so i still can't unlock it yet.

i buy lock iphone from bestbuy last 6 months ago.i can't used it right now.because it still can't unlock, it yet. i saw from official apple web sit (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC603LL/A?afid=p219|GOUS&cid=AOS-US-KWG) is now selling unlock iphone4. that is why i asking the request to get my phone to unlock. when i buy from bestbuy i have to pay full amount of money.and is without contract. but I have to pay full amount of money. so at least your apple service must do for unlock to iphone4.

First, you're not talking to Apple here -- we're users just like you who try to help others, Apple employees rarely participate.
If you bought an iPhone from Best Buy 6 months ago it was locked to a particular carrier. You cannot unlock such a phone -- the only way to get an unlocked iPhone is to buy an officially unlocked one, but that's not what you have.
