Unlocking question on iPhone 4

Hi, I just had my iphone unlocked by my carrier. I just completed a restore via itunes, and would like to know if I set it up with my original sim card, will it lock back to that or is it permanently unlocked ? Will my friend be able to insert his sim from another carrier and use it. Thanks

If it was officially unlocked by the carrier following this procedure:

then it will remain unlocked permanently.
Regards.

Question on unlock process for iPhone 4

Hello,
I have completed my 2-year contract agreement with AT&T and received the instructions for unlocking my iPhone 4.
My question: My iPhone is synced. Now I should do a full backup and restore of the iPhone via iTunes, but will this (1) keep all my current apps and (2) affect my current settings, specifically will I need to re-adjust all my individual notifications (alert style, badge app icon, sounds, view in lock screen)? This would be a tremendous chore for me as I currently have 176 applications on my mobile.
I appreciate your help with the answer to this. Thank you
Regards, Chuck

Unlocked Verizon iPhone 4S vs. Unlocked AT&T iPhone 4S

I know that an unlocked AT&T iPhone can use in Europe and Asia's GSM network.
I have 2 questions:
(1) After Verizon unlocks my iPhone 4S, can I use it in Europe's any GSM network?
(2) After I fulfill my contract, can my unlocked Verzion iPhone 4S uses freely in Europe and Asia?

After reading this article I stand corrected... http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57495076-94/why-you-cant-take-your-unlocked-iphone-4s-to-another-u.s-carrier/
It appears that it can be done only on non US carriers..

Do I need to unlock my old iPhone before I get a new one?

My contract with AT&T was up in June and I'm planning to re-sign when I buy iPhone 5. I currently have iPhone 4, which I was planning to give to my niece who currently has one of those pay-as-you-go phones. (She will not be using it with any major carriers.)
My question is do I need to unlock my current iPhone 4 from AT&T before I buy iPhone 5? Or how would it work?

It depends on which network your daughter is on. If it's Orange UK, then no the iPhone 4 will not need unlocking, but if any other network, including 4GEE or T-Mobile, then yes you will first need to get it unlocked.
That can be done by filling in this online form.

Can I use unlocked Bell Canada Iphone 4s in U.S.A?

I have this unlocked Bell Canada Iphone 4S. I tried to ask Verizon and AT&T and was told by both that it will not work in their system. Can anyone advise which carrier in U.S. can I use for this phone?
thanks.

I See, but it's still unlocked even I restored it with backup , right?
Sorry, I don't understand your question. I have a verizon phone which is also iPhone 4s which I have been having trouble with lately. So I just took the SIM card from that phone and put it in this phone. It says " no service " after it did the search. I went to verizon store and was told that verizon system won 't take any phone unless it's specifically designed for verizon.
The SIM you took out of your Verizon 4S is actually a Vodafone SIM for international roaming. It will not enable to use Verizon's network. Verizon gave you the correct information. Only phones sold for use on Verizon's network can be used on Verizon's network. Sorry.

Why unlocked no contract iphone 5s in us only sale for about 700 aud???

Why unlocked no contract iphone 5s in us only sale for about 700 aud??? N in Australia sales for 869 aud?
If u add 10% tax and reasonable shipping cost, which is about 780 aud, it should not be that expensive! Can any apple employee provide a good explanation?

Maybe, but there are none here. This is a user to user TECHNICAL SUPPORT forum. In addition to us all being users just like you (Apple is not here), your question is not a technical support issue and is not appropriate for this forum.

Can't start camera from unlock screen in iphone 5c since ios8

Hi!
Some I can't start the camera from the unlock screen in iphone 5c since ios8 update.
It works a couple of hours after reboot, but the problem keeps turning back randomly.
After iOS8 update I also installed facebook, facebook messenger, linkedin and sync.me and configured skype.
The actions are:
Enabling the unlock screen and then sliding up the camera icon, it seems to appear a camera captured image but then the screen turns black or greyish (randomly) like the unlock screen background.
The problem doesn't happen from the control center panel locked or unlocked.
It isn't a big problem because there are simple workarounds, but it's annoying when it happens.
Best regards,
Bruno.

This problem seem to have been solved in iOS 8.0.2.

Basic questions on iPhone apps. Please help!

Hey I have a few semi-basic questions about iPhone apps. If you know the answers to any of them please respond as it would help me ton. Even if you dont know the exact answer, it'll help me with any input. Trapster is a good example of what im looking for because it uses a map and it receives/sends small amounts of data constantly.
1) How much on average does it cost to hire a group of people to code an app for you. Specifically, how much do you think the app Trapster took to program? Are there any specific other apps you know how much it took to code? I need estimates, because I have nothing. A number like 50,000 would help a ton more other then saying "it depends" .....
2) Apps like Trapster, send and receive small amounts of data all the time? What controls all of this data? Im guessing a server. But what are the server's specs? How many? Price per month?
3) With 3.0 SDK now out, you are now allowed to implement google maps into 3rd party applications. Now I know you cannot use it for turn-by-turn navigation. But can you still use the directions feature already on google maps? Can you still use the search feature to search for a restaurant as well? Or maybe you can just see the map and thats it. Does anyone know exactly what you can use with google maps or know where there is more information? Ive tried everywhere.
4) Just tell me if this is correct: You can add advertisements into your app. On average, for every 1000 times your app gets opened, you get about 1.00-2.00. So if your app gets opened 2,000,000 times you get $2,000 from advertising if you get 1.00/1000. Is that accurate as an average?
5) Since 3.0 now supports push notifications, would you be able to have anything at all running in the backround? For example, on trapster, if you approach a red light camera, the app beeps. With 3.0, if you are on the home screen and approaching the camera, is there a way of getting the iphone to beep even though your just on the iphones main screen or any other screen? Im guessing not because in order to receive the push the iphone needs to know your current location and the location of the camera, which is why the app would need to be running. Incase im wrong is there a way of doing this?
6) If an app is free and does not do advertising, does it make any money? If so how?
Thanks!

>"If an app is free and does not do advertising, does it make any money? If so how?"
Of course.
It's called 'reputation earned'. You negotiate your future based on attention from something (a free app?) that amazes the known world. Could be a book deal after you spend your young/old life crossing the divide - could be a marriage proposal that brings great wealth - could be a cabinet position with a station in a foreign tax haven.
Use your imagination.
As for cost, pull a number out of your hat and then double it...then double it again. Same goes for time, staff and delays.

Verizon iPhones are GSM unlocked by default, so get a SIM and try it.

If i buy a T-mobile's unlocked, contract-free iPhone 6 in US at Apple's website, can i use it in China with a local carrier?

The Model 1586 / 1524 happens to be the one most compatible with China
http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
If the phone is primarily for use in China - I would look to getting an unlocked version of that
There are contradicting theories about Sprint for international use - so I would stay away from the Sprint model in the US
