Unlock status on my iPhone 4

I've contacted AT&T twice about the unlock status on my iPhone and they say it's unlocked. I've tried multiple times restoring it with iTunes but the SIM is still locked. What can I do?

Jill ~ Welcome to the Support Communities. It´s a new feature of iOS 5.1 and is to quickly open Camera when iPhone is locked — slide the Camera icon up. ...From page 92 of the iPhone User Guide.
By the way, before posting, you can search the communities to see if your question has already been asked. For example, go HERE and enter camera icon slide to unlock in the search field and enter iPhone in Restrict to a Community.

  • How to check iPhone 2,3,4 with and without S factory unlock status

    There are many discussion going around people concerned about how they can check that an iphone they got or purchased is FACTORY UNLOCKED here is what they need to do which I recently did
    1. First of all you will be getting signals for any carrier sim you insert into iphone
    2. To Confirm the FACTORY UNLOCK status you require following things
    (a) Latest version of itune
    (b) Latest version of ios download it to you laptop/pc desktop .
    3. Connect you iPhone with itune using cable connection not wifi , Itune should stay open
    4. press SHIFT button on your keyword for Windows and if you are on MAC you are going to hold option button then click Restore button and select the IPSW you have downloaded on your desktop and let restore process begain
    5. Once this is done you will have iphone screen and strat completing the activation screen in most cases you will have carrier shown up on top before the activation process end
    6, ocne done you will see on your Itune screen
    just like attached image in post it means your iphone is factory unlock and now can be used anywhere
    around the world.
    7. Just keep in mind iPhone official support is available to those countries where iphone are officially being launch
    Please comment if this post helps you thanks
    Note: Above process are mostly used for new factory unlocked devices for rest you will get you carrier info on top
    Thanks

  • HT1766 i have an unlocked iphone 3gs and need an upgrade how do i upgrade without losing my unlocked status?

    I have an unlocked iphone 3gs how do i upgrade without losing my unlocked status without having to pay to unlock it again.

    Updating and restoring does not lock, but if you have a jailbreak (not AppleSoftware) and you return to Apple Software then it will lock. After all Apple has to keep to the law. It is even possible, that the jailbreak software makes it impossible to install Apple Software again and your iPhone will be inoperable after you try the update.
    So If you officially unlocked you are  fine and if you had a jailbreak, there is nothing an Apple forum can do for you.

  • The Difference between iphone Unlock T-Mobile and iphone Unlock Free-Sim

    As mentiond in the title my questions are:-
    - What is the Difference between iphone Unlock T-Mobile and iphone Unlock Free-Sim?!
    - Did they both work Internationally?!
    - For the Unlock T-Mobile should i use their sim or i can use any sim directly?!
    Thanks

    Unlocked means unlocked and you can use any sim card and keep changing them and the phone will never lock if it is unlocked.
    Sim free, means that the phone is sold at full price without a sim card, but the phone will lock to the first sim card that you put in it.  A sim free phone will work internationally, but you will have to use a roaming plan with your phone company because the phone will be locked, so you CANNOT change it to a local sim card.
    If you have an unlocked phone, you can use it internationally by inserting a local sim card and the phone should then work and you won't have to pay increased roaming charges as you would with a locked phone.
    If you buy a T-Mobile phone that is unlocked, DO NOT activate it with their sim card or the phone will lock to T-Mobile and you will have to approach them to get it unlocked.  Use it with another sim card straight away and it will remain unlocked.

  • How do I unlock voice activation on iphone

    How do I unlock voice activation on iPhone 4

    Hi Kilted Tim, thank you for your quick response.
    Yup, I've had the unlimited plan for about 4-5 years, and I do everything I can to keep from losing it, for obvious reasons.
    As you advise, I've been using the iphone in airplane mode with wifi activated which works fine when I am in wifi range. But of course when I'm out and about I want to use my data roaming for internet, maps, skype, whatever so I take it out of airplane mode.
    The trouble is that I get incoming calls and am charged international rates even when I dont answer. I havent looked lately but I think AT&T charges me for one minute even for unanswered incoming calls.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks!

  • Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

    Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2  year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy.  Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me.  These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE??  WHY?   A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones...  Please tell me why?  All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
    Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue.  I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone. 
    A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA.  Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
    I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone.  That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them.  That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with. 
    Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country.  I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
    I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
    A response would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.
    P

    Defiled:
    I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east.  She travels in missions all over.
    At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone?  AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier.  If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" .  My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T .  I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product.  My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
    Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
    Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
    Thank you for your responses.

    Hi Edward,
    You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

  • Why wont it show me my order status on the iPhone 6, 16GB, Gold?

    Why wont it show me my order status on the iPhone 6, 16GB, Gold?
    I ordered it on 9/27/14, and I got the email that said to check the order status, but when I go to the page it said nothing.

    I was in a similar situation.  The phone I ordered was in stock, with supposedly no shipping delay. I ordered on 9/27, but it actually took four extra business days for Verizon to ship my order.
    I called twice and both times the reps couldn't help be determine the status.
    My assumption is Verizon fulfillment is swamped with orders.  They SHOULD have a way of determining real status but they don't.
    I would suggest waiting a few more days, then call the Internet Order group at 800-922-0204 and start complaining.

  • Is Apple Not Going to Release an Unlocked Version of the iPhone 5 in the USA?

    I am wondering if Apple is simply not going to release an unlocked version of the iPhone 5 in the USA as we are already in November and no news have been released.
    If I purchase a no commitment iPhone 5 with Verizon, will it be unlocked for all the carriers in the USA and abroad? Thanks.

    Apple has made no announcement one way or the other.
    Kappy, I don't know where you get the idea that AT&T stores are selling unlocked phones. I've heard no such thing.
    I have heard that if one purchases a no commitment AT&T iPhone 5 and plugs it in and restores it in iTunes before activating it, that it will be unlocked. I don't know that this is actually official policy on AT&T's part, but it has been documented to happen. Whether it continues or not...
    I also know that Verizon is legally prohbited from selling the iPhone 5 completely locked down due to conditions imposed on them when the won a recent auction for radio spectrum.
    Not to speculate on what they will do, but I for one, don't see much point in selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 5 in the U.S. There is only one GSM carrier in the U.S., AT&T. The US GSM iPhone 5 will not work on any LTE networks outside of the US, so logically, why bother?
    A huge percentage of Americans never leave the country over the course of their lives... It's not like other parts of the world where one can cover multiple countries in a days drive...
    Heck,many Americans never even leave the State they were born in.

  • How do I get an unlock code for an Iphone 3

    How do I get an unlock code for an Iphone 3?

    There is no unlock code.
    Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone, or send the unlock request to Apple.

    What are you talking about?
    Either restate the question, or post in your native language. "So i request the concerned authority to provide me RESTORE PASSWORD to improve the status of my iphone 4" Is unclear at best.
    If you're having some kind of problem, then explain what it is including the exact text of any error messages you're getting.

    Can I unlock an old, unused iPhone 3GS (to be used overseas with a local simcard) and upload on it data from a newer iPhone 4 on the same MacBook Pro?

    I got approval to unlock my 3GS from AT&T and in the process of updating the operating system. I am now using a iPhone 4 on my computer. I just want to know the following:
    When I backup and restore the 3GS in order to unlock it, will it mess up my existing data backed up from my iPhone 4?
    Can I upload data from my newer iPhone 4 onto my 3GS?
