Unlocking Iphone 3G-- Help
How do I unlock IPhone 3G. I was using the phone in the US for a year and cancelled the connection when returning to India. I have heard that Apple provides a patch using which I can get the phone unlocked through ITunes and continue to upgrade the OS.
Please let me know a viable solution as I need to use the phone with my provider here in India.

Unlocking has to be done via the original iPhone provider. If you bought it from AT&T in the US, then I'm afraid you are stuck, as AT&T do not offer unlocking.
You'll have to sell your current iPhone and buy another for use in India.

Unlocked iPhone 5 help please!
I am currently on at@t with the atrix 4g. I know that you cannot buy an unlocked iPhone 5 off contract yet from apple. I am new to the unlocked phone world and wondering how it will work. When the unlocked iPhone 5 off contract, does come out from apple will I just be able to go in store and buy it? Because I am currently using my atrix I do not have a micro sim, will at@t give me one? I only have a 3G sim because technically I only get hspa+ data speeds from at@t, since the new iPhone takes advantage of Lte, do I have to get a Lte sim? If you guys could just walk me through the process I would greatly appreciate it.
At the time that that you purchase an unlocked iPhone from Apple iit will most likely not include a SIM. This has been the case with the 4 and 4S. You will have to provide your own, depending on what carrier you choose. If you decide to swictch your ATT contract to the iPhone they should provide you with a SIM.
Plus you will be able to canccel your iPhone ATT contract at anytime since you are providing your own iPhone. -
Ok, so I am trying to unlock my iPhone 4s for use with family mobile, I am pretty sure it will work with other carriers like net10, but with family mobile it requires unlock code(the same thing that happened to my moms phone). So I have called AT&T like 10 times with a lot of different responses from the reps.
Most said go to AT&T.com/unlock device :
I did that but the emailed me saying to email/fax them a recipt. I brought this phone from a pawn shop so there is no hope for original recipt, will they accept pawn recipt? Is there any way around using a receipt?
One lady told me to go to iTunes and restore from factory default.
I heard of this working before, but only after AT&T emails you, should I do this?(because I just finished retorting my iPhone, and due to my slow Internet, it took like 12 hours.)
Also does anyone know of any unlocking services(online or otherwise) that work for iPhone?
Thanks for readingThere is no code on iPhones
This is how it works once AT&T have agreed to unlock your iPhone and processed the request

i am going to buy unlocked iphone 5.. i will be going to india nxt months and will stay there for a while... so my question is will i get warrenty in india.. and will there be any problem with using indian sims..?? thnx for the help..
The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin. The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide. The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries. -
I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.
Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup -

HT4623 want to unlock iphone to other network providers need help
trying to unlock iphone so i am able to use any other network but ive tried and i just cant seem to do it does anyone know other ways of unlocking the phone need hel please
The only ones who can unlock your iPhone is your phone company/carrier.
You need to contact them and if they offer unlocking for your phone then ask them to unlock it and if they don't, there is nothing you can do. In this case, you either need to purchase another phone that is fully and officially unlocked or you need to continue to use your phone with your current operator.
Contact your phone comapny/carrier directly - they are the ONLY ones who can help you. -

Help! Unlocking Iphone 4s questions!!
Hello,
Im wanting to buy an used Iphone 4s and use it on Tmobile. I read somewhere that if it is factory unlocked by Apple then it can always be updated. See, I have an unlocked Iphone 3g that cant be updated cause if I do it will no longer be unlocked and can never be unlocked again. (Then I cant use it on Tmobile) Atleast that is what I was told. So Im really wanting to make sure my next Iphone is already updated to the latest IOS and (if possible) unlocked to where I can update it without losing the abilitly to use it on Tmobile.
Also, whats the newest update for the Iphone 4s? Is it IOS 5 or 6? I want to ask any sellers before I buy to make sure I have the newest update!
Thanks so much for anyones help! You have no idea how much research Ive been doing to figure this stuff out and all I do is end up getting more and more confused!!

Thank you so much! It's so nice to get a straight answer. I have another question, how can you purchase an unlocked sim-free iPhone from apple? And how much would that be for an IPhone 4s?
Walk into an Apple Store with credit card in hand or order it on-line from http://www.apple.com.
Also, could I unlock the phone by myself if I bought one that wasn't unlocked? Cause my other problem is thar if I buy a used already unlocked iPhone it might not be updated with the newest IOS 6.
