Unlock phone to use abroad

How do i unlock my phone so that I am able to use my phone while I am studying abroad in England for a year?

There are requirements to be able to unlock a phone but the iPhone 4 can't be unlocked. You have to add a global plan if you dont have an iPhone 4s.

  • Unlocking a phone for use abroad

    I will be traveling abroad in the fall for three months.  I would like to suspend my Verizon service here and unlock my phone so that while I am abroad, I can obtain a sim card to use in my current phone (droid charge) .  My two year contract is up with Verizon, and I'm paying for the same plan on a monthly basis.  Is this possible?

        Traveling abroad sounds like so much fun isovist! You are able to suspend your account for up to 90 days in order to keep your mobile number. To have your phone unlocked, you need to meet certain account requirements. If this is a 4G device, it is already factory unlocked. For 3G, your account needs to be active and in good standing. You can contact global services for more options with unlocking 800-711-8300.

  • Unlock phone to use overseas.

    I am in the military and stationed overseas and would like to use my iPhone 4S in Korea.  When I was in the U.S., I purchased the iPhone from Wal-Mart and used it with a prepaid plan with Straight Talk.  How can I get it unlocked to be able to use it with a cell phone service provider in Korea.

    You might also want to research the carrier you want to use in Korea. Many do not allow for bringing your own device and it also requires the government registration of devices not purchased in Korea. You may need to purchase one there, but also check to make sure if you do purchase a device there, that the carrier offers unlocking services if you leave the country.

  • Do you need an unlocked iPhone to use prepaid microsims in the UK?

    Canadian using Rogers, phone has not been modified beyond apps/software updates since receiving. Thanks.

    You need an unlocked phone to use SIMs from a different carrier.  Yours may be unlocked... check with your carrier.

  • Using an unlocked phone on Verizon

    Hi. I would like to purchase the octa core galaxy note 4.I have to buy it unlocked and would like to know if I can use it on Verizon. It has a Sim card slot which I use right now so could I just pop that in the new phone and use it?

    Sure looks like a banded phone to me. It says Verizon on the back at the bottom right over the Droid logo only used by Motorola. And I am pretty sure that the Nexus 5 does not work with VZW.

  • Do I need to unlock my phone to use Consumer Cellular?

    I bought a used Iphone 3GS that was an AT&T phone and I was planning to use it with Consumer Cellular who said that I wouldn't need to unlock the phone to use their service. When the phone arrived it worked fine, I didn't have to go through any activation, it just went straight to the home screen. After inserting a SIM card and calling to activate it, the phone continued to work and I was able to text/make calls. Then it said it needed to be updated so I plugged it into itunes and let it be; when I checked on it it had restored itself and now I can no longer get into the phone. All I get is the activating phone screen and it won't recognize my SIM anymore. I bought a new SIM to see if that was the problem..still won't work. Why would it work one minute than just stop? Does this mean that I do infact have to unlock the phone to use it with my new service??

    The used iPhone you purchased was apparently jailbroken to unlock it, and restoring iOS removed that jailbreak and your iPhone locked back to AT&T. Only AT&T can unlock it, assuming that the jailbreak hasn't rendered that now impossible as can happen. Here are AT&T's official requirements and procedure for unlocking an iPhone:
    https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
    Note these terms in particular:
    The person requesting the unlock must be one of the following:
    • a current AT&T customer
    • a former AT&T customer who can provide the phone number or account number for the account
    so you may not be able to get that iPhone unlocked.

  • Hi I bought a factory unlocked phone from Dubai but I'm using it in india. But it still doesn't have FaceTime option in settings . is there a way to get FaceTime on my phone without jail breaking .. Pla help guys

    Bought my iPhone 4 from Dubai even though it's a factory unlocked phone I don't have a FaceTime button in setting so I'm wondering is there anyway I can get the FaceTime with out jail breaking my device it's working on iOS 4.3.5 , I read so much about getting it after u jailbreak Ur phone u get FaceTime but can I get it with out jail breaking my device as I'm using it in india please reply guys

    iPhones purchased in the UAE do not have FaceTime installed and FaceTime will not appear regardless of where the phone is taken.
    Jailbreaking will void your warranty with Apple, may permanently render your phone unusuable, and will eliminate the possibility of getting help from Apple or its forums including this one.
    If you want FaceTime on an iPhone, sell that phone and purchase one from one of the authorized iPhone dealers in India.

  • Hi, I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. Any solutions??

    Hi,
    I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. I have a 3G plan but most of the time it switches automatically to EDGE. Thats when i have to either switch Airplane mode - On/Off and then it acts normal. Any permanant solutions to fix this problem?

    Return the iPhone personally or via friend/relative/co-worker who is in
    the US. The warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase - the USA
    in this case. Apple will not accept international shipments for evaluation nor
    will Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
    How did the iPhone from the US get to you in India? Reverse that process to
    get it back to the US so someone can take it into Apple.

  • I have brought an Apple iphone 4 from Apple store Arndale house for use any network, but this phone is locked with vodafone. Please suggest, how to unlock this phone to use all other network in other country?

    Dear Team,
    i had brought a APPLE IPHONE4 from APPLE STORE, MANCHESTER ARNDALE. new cannon street mall.
    when i was visiting for purchasing this device the sales team told me that the phone is unlocked and can use all around the world with any other network when i'm trying to use it other network it showed that NO SERVICE(at network issue) and then i made a call 2 apple customer support so the executive told me that this device has been locked with VODAFONE UK network. this was the FAKE commitment of sales team also its a CHEATING i must say that.
    i'm very much disapointed and dissatiesfied with the APPLE STORE sales team...
    kindely look toward and give me solution.
    thanks,
    regard,
    Nishant Kumar

    I had read that thanks but many happy owners of locked iPhones
    claim to have bought from an Apple store they do not actually mean
    Apple Retail
    Arndale Centre is one of the largest Malls in Europe and every vendor of iPhones is there
    Apple retail in UK ONLY sell unlocked iPhones unless you opt for a contract at a reduced price
    not something you can do accidently as in sim free in US
    But thanks for you guidance

    I am from Brazil and I'd like to unlock my phone to use a local carrier. Is it possible?

    How would we know?  Call your carrier and ask.  They're the ones locking it.  They'd be the ones to unlock it.
