Unlocking a replaced iphone 4s in sweden

Hi, couple of months ago I bought an iphone 4s from a person in sweden which is locked to tele2. When I contacted tele2 to unlock this phone they told me they can't find this phone's IMEI number and this phone may have been replaced. They need the IMEI number of the first phone to unlock it. But the person from whom I bought this phone is unable to give me the IMEI number of first phone as he is not the first buyer of this phone. Now I am leaving Sweden and need to unlock it but tele2 can't unlock my phone. In this regard, what should I do and how can I unlock my phone? Please help. Thank you in advance.

Only tele2 can help you. You need to contact them as only they can unlock your phone for you. Nobody else can help you and there is no point in posting personal information on a user forum.
Contact tele2 and ask them if they will unlock the phone for you.

I can't sync/back up iPhone data to my computer b/c iPhone screen is shattered and i cant unlock it to enter in my passcode. How can I sync my broken iPhone with my computer and back up my data so I can sync and transfer the data to my replacement iPhone?

I can't sync my iPhone and back up my data with my computer because iTunes says to enter the passcode into my iPhone to unlock it, but I am unable to unlock and enter in my passcode on my iPhone because the screen is shattered. I have my replacement iPhone with me and I'm not going to activate it until I can sync/get the data from my broken iPhone. I have the envelope to send my broken iPhone back to the Verizon store or whatever so that's not a problem. I just can't sync my old iPhone with my computer.
Thanks.

No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
Thanks.

Contact tella to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Only the wireless carrier to which an iPhone is locked can unlock it.

Unlock by att of a replacement iPhone 4

I bought an iPhone 4 off ebay (US - locked by AT&T) in June 2010. It broke in August 2010 and the Apple store gave me a replacement iPhone 4 unit from behind the counter. In other words the unit could not have anything tying it to any AT&T contract. But the unit was locked to AT&T.
I called AT&T today to request that they unlock this replacement unit. AT&T checked the IMEI and said that "security reasons", we cannot unlock this phone. They would not explain what "security reasons" means.
Does anyone know if I should keep calling AT&T until I get a positive answer from them ? or is there another avenue to get the unlock (like calling Apple) ?
Thanks

Locked iPhones are tied to AT&T. Are you an AT&T customer? If you iPhone meets there conditions they will unlock it.
There are a few potential situations that could complicate the otherwise simple unlocking process:
Did you buy an iPhone used, or through a service other than AT&T or Apple? You may need to provide a receipt of purchase

Hi philhardinges,
You can ask Apple support for the replacement receipt, this receipt would have the old iphone information(including Imei) and the replacement iphone information.
I had a problem like you and they sent me that information, then with the old imei you can unlock your iphone
Another way to take the old iphone imei, you can look for the original iphone box, yep, the one i hope you saved carefully somewhere in your house hahaha. The imei is showed on the bottom of the box down-right corner.
Hope this information can help you.
Best regards

Will my replacement iphone be unlocked to all networks?

I have just recieved a replacement Iphone 4s as my old one was faulty, But recently bought myself a Iphone 5.
I wanted to pass the new Iphone 4 onto my sister but i was on Vodafone & shes on 3.
Will the replacement that Apple have sent me be unlocked to all networks? Or still be on Vodafone?
Bearing in mind its a whole new handset.
My sister is awaiting the delivery of her micro sim so cannot test it out to see until that comes.
Anyone that could help would be appriciated! Thanks

The replacement handset will have the same carrier profile settings that the old one had. If the old one was carrier locked, the new one will be as well. You can always ask the carrier to unlock the device. It's up to them.
If they agree, the process takes a few days to work thru the system, then you restore the replacement iPhone 4, and the new carrier profile (sim-unlock or carrier unlock) will be applied. But again, it is at the carrier's discretion.

New replacement iPhone 5 just received.

Hi, this morning i received my replacement iPhone 5. I am unsure but i believe the original handset i owned could of been on the O2-UK network. Is this replacement from Apple now going to be factory unlocked or not?
Appreciate your time, thanks.

I think they are unlocked. Not to sure but with the iphone 4 that's what my friend got

Hello, I'm from Romania and I bought an iphone 4 in sweden. When I arrived in country I found it was locked in a network there ... how can I use it in romania networks and how can I find if I can get code from Apple, unlock it.

Only the Swedish carrier can unlock the iphone nothing to do with Apple
Contact them and find out if they offer unlocking and if so terms they apply
The iPhone is locked because that carrier subsidised the original

Can't activate applecare-replaced iphone 4 with previously working SIM

Hi,
I had an iphone 4, purchased from apple online store, not locked to a carrier. It worked perfectly with a local carrier's SIM (Manx Telecom) for nearly 12 months, then developed a hardware fault and applecare replaced it no hassle. The SIM stayed with me.
The replacement iphone doesn't like the Manx Telecom SIM - it's an "unsupported card" or "unsupported carrier". Manx Telecom sell unlocked iPhone 4s from their own retail store, and the SIM was obtained from them. Applecare support think the replacement iphone is unlocked, and I've done an OS restore (it asked for a WEP key when I restored it, I think it's iOS5) but still itunes and the iphone say that the SIM is unsupported.
I've escalated this to applecare, and they tell me that the replacement iPhone *is* unlocked. I don't know how carrier locking works, and I don't suspect the SIM, although I'll get that checked later today.
I'm worried that this will drag on, and being from a small country with an insignificant number of people, this might get dropped into a black hole of "we've never had one of these before, it's not really a problem"
Any ideas? All gratefully received. Reports of positive experiences would be welcome, as woudl ideas on next steps if I don't get any joy from the current incident.
Thanks for reading right to the end!
Pat

Applecare just fixed it. It hadn't been connected to wifi or itunes between last call and now, and they got it to accept the SIM, presumably over GSM. I am chuffed.

Can't unlock the replacement phone

I had a replacement iphone from Apple half year ago. Now my contract with ATT has ended, I want to unlock my device but ATT denied my request because the IMEI number doesn't match the record. In this situation, how can I have my iphone unlocked?
Thank you

Since AT&T locked the phone, only AT&T can unlock it. Elevate your complaint with AT&T

Can I use a replacement iPhone 5 with any network?

Hi everyone! I bought an iPhone 5 in Dominican Republic attached to Orange network. In a recent visit to Miami my camera didn't focus and I got a replacement iPhone 5 at Lincoln Road Apple Store. Next month I will be in USA again, so I want to know if I can buy a local nano sim card to use my iPhone while I'm there.
PD. When I received the replacement, the genius bar guy told me that the replacement iPhone 5 was originally from AT&T but it would work nice with my local carrier.
Thank you for your business and any answer will be really appreciated.

Thanks again for your reply. I already contacted Orange and they told me they are able to oficially unlock my iPhone but not when I'm under contract. And I have one year and a half still remaining in my actual contract. So at least I tried :p Thanks again.

How much would it be to replace iPhone 4 with phone warranty?

Ok I just drop my phone trying to run to catch the bus. I had a case but it didn't work....I don't have the apple warranty I have the 1 year warranty I got from sprint...
How much do you think the copay would be? My mom says she doesnt want tofux the phone herself because it voids the warranty and she said something about sensors in the phone and apple can track whether I opened my phone.

Hey !
Sorry for ur broken iphone. The best thing is to go to apple store and talk to them.Tell them this is the very first time it had happened to you. they will replace the phone for free as a one time courtesy. They did mines and my friend phone for free. as far as sprint warranty, i am not really sure what warranty covers. usually they charge you around $200 to replace the iphone but thats for insurance not the warranty. Your mom is right about the sensors. It is kind of hard to replace iphone 4 screen because the digitizer and lcd are attached to each other with glue i guess. I tried replacing one for my friend and ended up messing the iphone. Your best bet is to try apple store if they refuse which I believe they wont than you can go through sprint or buy a screen from ebay and get a certified tech to put it on for u. That will cost you less money but you will void the sprint warranty but to be honest with you. They wont find out if you had replaced the screen or not. Good luck

My photos on my replacement iphone won't download from icloud

I had to get my iPhone 4s replaced & before going to the Apple Store, I did an iCloud backup. When I got my replacement iPhone, everything was transferred onto the new phone. When I went home, my pictures said "downloading". (I only had 366 photos) So I let my phone sit for a few hours, thinking the pictures would download. Well, they never did and my phone has been saying "downloading" on my pictures for 6 days now. Does anybody know what to do and could help me?

Hello Kteko,
Connecting your iPhone to a power source and connecting to a Wi-Fi network can help complete the process.
After your settings and accounts are restored, your device restarts and begins downloading your purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content. You can use your device normally during this time, but if you receive an alert or are having trouble completing the restore, connect your device to a power source and make sure that it's connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi. Then wait until your device is restored to use it.
If you need help restoring an iCloud backup
