Unlocking a iphone bought in UK to use with local service provider
I bought an iphone 4 when I was a student in London in 2011. When my semester was finished, I moved back to my home in Colombia and would like to use it with my provider here. How would I be able to release the lock so I can continue to use my phone?
ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it.
Contact that carrier and ask if they offer this service and if you qualify

There is no such thing as an unlock code for an iPhone. It's done by restoring the phone using iTunes

Hallo
i want to unlock my iphone.
My provider t-mobile germany said, that they can not unlock my iphone because Apple don't want it.

1. ........ I bought the phone independantly of a supplier and am having trouble getting it unlocked.
2. Apple should never have allowed a carrier to lock my phone without my permission.
3. It is restrictive practice and may be unlawful in some countries.
4. disgraceful business.
do not trust the carriers or Apple n one.
5. You must work for Apple ?
Hi,
1. Wrong. You did not research well to find out the cost difference between - what you thought you bought and what actually it would cost. If you had you would not have made this statement.
2. Correct. Apple will never does such a thing.
3. Correct. Perhaps in all countries.
4. Correct.
Trust yourself first.
5. Wrong. No one here does. All are Apple products' users here.
Did you read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937 before you purchased that iPhone ?

How do I unlock my Iphone so it can be used on any network?
You have to request this from the carrier (operator) the phone is locked to. Not all carriers offer authorized unlocking, you can check here to see if yours does: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937

Am trying to sync my 3gs to itunes,keeps coming up with a notice saying! iphone in recovery mode. Must restore the iphone before it can be used with itunes.
Am really worried about doing this as the phone came with a note enclosed saying "Do NOT restore or update iphone software on itunes when asked to otherwise unlock will be lost"
Is it safe for me to restore or will it block my phone?
Can anybody help me please?Sounds like you purchased a phone that was hacked to run on a network other than the one it was originally locked to.
Where, exactly did you get this phone? If it's already in a state where it says it must be restored, you don't have a choice. If the phone was hacked, it will be re-locked to the network it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can legitimately authorize unlocking the phone. -

Using iPhone -
Greetings,
I hope this email finds you well. I bought my iPhone on December 1st, 2012 with a track order W459517623. When I first bought it, it was meant to use all the services provided by Great Apple including the new LTE service as a main service for such device. Now I just realize that such service does not match with the model I have, as per this link:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
Model A1429
(GSM model)
Saudi Arabia - Mobily
The model Apple sent is A1428
I believe that such service should be provided to my devices too. Also, Apple always find best ways to solve such queries.
Please advise me
Thank you and Regards,
AbdulrahmanI'm assuming you bought it via the Apple Online store. Contact them. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page. Did you buy the phone from the store in the country you intend to USE the iPhone? If you bought the phone in the US store and intend to use it OUTSIDE the US, you only have yourself to blame, as they shipped the CORRECT phone for use in the US.

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon. -
