T-Mobile Model A1533 (GSM) iPhone 5S is it unlocked? Will work with AT&T?
I wanted a non-subsidized phone to use on AT&T so I ordered the iPhone 5s from T-mobile with no contract. Howveer unlike ordering the 5c it doesn't call it sim-free. It does state When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5s from a local GSM carrier. Which makes me think it has to be unlocked and I could use my AT&T sim in it as it has all the supported bands. Has anyone tried this yet?
I stand corrected. They are guilty of not providing enough information. Yes, the menu tree to purchasing each phone leads to a locked, contracts device. In order to protect its fourth carrier. Apple deliberately left out the fact that the unlocked TMobile version will be compatible with both domestic GSM carriers and carriers from abroad.
Agree that there will be an "official" unlocked, non carrier labeled version, but because Apple never succumbs to carrier branding in the first place, I find it all the more confusing. In the end, they are trying to protect their carriers by steering initial iPhone allocation to those customers with domestic contracts or will be signing new contracts! regardless of whether the hardware is actually the same or not.

I really don't like having to "jailbreak" my wife's phone. I was wondering if there was a more legitimate way to get this to work.
Apple has nothing to do with it. You can not use a Verizon iPhone 4S on any U.S. carrier other than Verizon.
The SIM slot can be unlocked for Verizon customers in good standing, but it will ONLY work with non-U.S. carriers.
If you want to use T-Mobile in the U.S., you will need to purchase an unlocked GSM iPhone. -

The models that will work with brazilian LTE networks are:
A1507 and A1529 (iPhone 5c)
A1457 and A1530 (iPhone 5s)

Have you personally tried those models with Brazilian LTE networks? Do they work? If so, fine. If not, then besides that, there is the problem of the warranty which is not international. The user will have to return the phone back to the country of purchase for both warranty and out of warranty service. So what might seem cheaper at first glance might not be in the end.
Anyways, it your money and the OP's should he want to go ahead with your recommendation. -

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.
Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1) When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2) I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3) So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. -
i unlocked my iphone 4 factory and i upgrade to 6.1 when i connect it to itunes it apears
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.It sounds like you or someone else hacked the phone to unlock it. Updating it locked it to the original carrier.
How did you unlock it? The ONLY legitimate way is to ask the carrier it is locked to to unlock it. Any other way requires hacking or jailbreaking the phone. -

No. Return it and get your money back if still within the 30 day return window. All US iPhones are carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked.

What bt car radio will work with iPhone ?
Simple question, I'm looking for a aftermarket radio that will work with my iPhone 3G.
Play music over bleutooth, make hands free calls.
No additional cables,only BT,iPhone in cradle/charger.
I did find a few radio's that should work, but maybe people here have experience with working systems so I'm sure they work in real life,and not only in the advertisings.
You can google all over the internet, and never find a clear answer.....so maybe we can make the final topic here, for everyone to find....We have tried everything that ha been suggested
Sorry, but that tells me nothing - one man's "everything" is another's not quite enough. When I said "EXACTLY", I meant just that... What happens in vagueness, stays in vagueness! -
My iPhone5 prompts while setting up "This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you are attempting to use.Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier" or "Request that this iPhone be unlocked" How can I unlock my new iPhone5 to function properly?
That means that the phone is locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
Where exactly did you get this "new" iPhone 5? -
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.
what does it mean?Have a look in Settings>Carrier
Again YOU cannot unlock it - only the original carrier can do it -
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.Sounds like you are trying to use an iPhone that is locked to a particular
wireless carrier with the sim from another wireless carrier. Contact the wireless
provider that the iPhone is locked to and ask if they offer unlocking and if
you qualify. Only the wireless carrier that the iPhone is locked to can unlock
it. -
hi i updated my iphone but it says that This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked. how can i unlock this one?
Your iPhone was hacked or jailbroken before and through the update it locks back to the original carrier. Only the original carrier can unlock the iPhone. You have to contact them and find out what the procedure you needs to follow.

you say the iPhone originally was on contract with Orange UK. You will have
to work with Orange UK to get the iPhone unlocked. -
Is there an adapter can i get so square will work with the otterbox i have on my iphone
Is there an adapter can i get so square will work with the otterbox i have on my iphone, I love the otterbox and want to keep it on all the time. not only does it protect my iphone it, it makes it easy for me to hold because I have trouble with my hands. please help
That's a good question. The main problem with the Square readers is that the plug is designed to send data to devices, rendering most headphone extension cables useless.
Reading another forum I saw this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BN7XSM
Give that a try. Claims to work perfectly for Square. NOT headphones.
