Upgrading to IOS 5 will lock factory unlocked iphone 4 or not??

I have an Iphone 4 with ios 4.3.3 bb 4.10.01 and its factory unlocked. If I upgrade it to a new Ios 5, will I loose my unlock??
I know that factory unlocked iphones dont loose unlock if they are upgraded but I heard that IOS 5 will lock the factory unlocked also.

You heard wrong.  IF the device is officially unlocked by Apple, it will not be relocked.  IF it was hacked to be unlocked, upgrading iOS WILL relock the device to the original carrier.

  • Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.

    Will a factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple retail store come with a simcard.Furthermore will my new phone need to be activated in store or can i do it myself

    No. You'll need to get a SIM from your carrier. Since you won't have a SIM, there will be no way to activate the iPhone at the store, so you'll have to do it yourself.

  • HT1937 Will a factory unlocked iPhone 5 A1429-GSM work in S Korea & USA?

    According to Apple, the model A1429 (GSM) is the one for South Korea- LTE bands 1 (2100 MHz), 3 (1800 MHz) and 5 (850 MHz).
    When I return to the US in 2014 will I be able to use it on Verizon and sprint's network? I noticed that the LTE band 1, 3 and 5 are also supported by those two US carriers.  However, those two carriers use a different platform/technology (CDMA).
    I am positive that the A1429 GSM will use a nano sim card.  What about the CDMA? Please clarify.
    I am contract free as of yesterday and able to go with either of the carriers and be able to factory unlock it before my departure in January 2013. However, the hardware must work in Korea and in the US.
    Another option that I am considering is a factory unlocked iPhone 4S, but I cant find a 32GB.  I am very reluctant with this option as I am afraid that when I return to the US (Jan 2014) things will drastically change and I wont be able to enjoy the new advancements in the mobile tech world because I have a hardware that wont handle them.
    Thank you. 

    Apple does sell the A1429 GSM in Europe

  • Problem when update ios 6 on factory unlocked iphone 4 s

    HELLO after instal IOS 6 the phone UNLOCKED dont read the SIM
    There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate

    Is the SIM operating. Try taking it out and putting in again. Also try with a diffrent iPhone. Are you SURE your iPhone is unlocked? HOW did you unlock it? There is no such thing as a "factory unlock" on the iPhone.

  • Will a factory unlocked iPhone 4S, bought in Singapore, work in India?

    Hey guys.. I just love the iPhone 4S and want to buy it as a mark of my respect for the late Steve jobs. But sadly it isn't available in India. So I asked my friend to pick up an unlocked iPhone 4S from Singapore. My concern is, will it work with the local GSM Sim card in India?
    Thx fr your time!

    In my personal opinion the 4s is not much different than the 4! I am using both.
    The major difference is the camera but the rest including the faster processor still feels the same!!
    Anytime now the jailbreak is gonna come out and u will most likely be able to use Siri on the 4 too!!
    But no doubt the 4s is a sweet phone!!
    I got the 64gb AT&T contract free and it worked perfectly fine in India since the day one!!
    Siri works smoothly and is quite helpful... Thou its kinda difficult for her to understand Indian names..
    Apart from that no settings were changed.. It worked straight out of the box!
    If u can't live without it then buy the 4s but if ur not so much of a ifreak then the original 4 is not a bad bet either!!
    Hope I could help!!

  • Will a factory unlocked iPhone stay unlocked if sync with another iTunes account?

    I just got my ATT iphone officially unlocked.  If I reset the phone to factory defaults so my daughter can borrow it for her trip to Europe, will it lock again?  She would probably sync it with her iTunes and personalize it for her use.  When she gets back, I will then reset it again and sync it with my iTunes.  Thanks.

    It will not lock again.  It is unlocked,

  • Will a factory unlocked iPhone 4 still work with T-mobile US after being restored ?

    My group messaging feature isn't available in my messages settings section.
    I was told I needed to back-up and then re-store....how ever I use T-mobile US as my carrier.
    Will it still work after the re-store ?

    IF your iPhone was officially unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to, then yes, it should remain unlocked forever at that point and a restore or upgrade will not alter the unlock.
    However, if your phone was hacked to make it function as if it had been unlocked, then it will almost certainly relock to the original carrier when restored or upgraded (assuming it does not simply brick itself from the restore or upgrade, which is also a possability).

  • When will Factory unlock iPhone 5 come out?

    Anyone know when will the factory unlocked iPhone 5 release?

    Last year iPhone 4s was announced Oct 4, and factory unlocked sales started Nov 11 (I ordered mine then and got it right before Thanksgiving). So I'd guess in a month or two, but who knows if they'll treat it differently given the multiple models for LTE.
    deggie is of course spot on.

  • Factory Unlocked iPhone 5

    When will the factory unlocked iPhone 5 be available for purchase? Will it be availbable through the online store or will I have to go to an Apple store and personally purchase the factory unlocked version?

    You can find unlocked iphone 5's at any Retail Store. I've just got mine from the store by 5th avenue 3 days ago.
    They're saying to be not sure why it wasn't announced yet.

  • I bought a factory unlocked iphone 4s. it was working fine but when i upgraded it to iOS 5.1 it gave me "no sim" message. so when i tried to restore the iphone setting it is giving me now "ICCID: unknown" message please help. any ideas?

    i bought a factory unlocked iphone 4s. it was working fine but when i upgraded it to iOS 5.1 it gave me "no sim" message.
    so i tried then to restore the iphone using itunes but it got worse it is giving me now "ICCID: unknown" message please help. any ideas?

    Please define "factory unlocked". The term is basically meaningless. iPhones are sold either carrier locked or unlocked. Some carriers will unlock them after a period of time upon meeting certain requirements and paying a fee.
    There are lots of places that will "factory unlock" an iPhone. This basically translates to "hack". This can cause permanent damage to the phone. Best case scenario is these phones will re-lock to the original carrier on an update or restore. Worst case it they become expensive bricks.
    ICCID unknown indicates a critical failure. There is no way to resolve this other than taking it in to Apple and getting the phone replaced. It's very possible that the phone was hacked and attempting to update has now killed it.
    Where, EXACTLY, did you get this phone?

  • If I upgrade my factory unlocked iphone to a new firmware, will I lose may apps, data or carrier unlock??

    If I upgrade my factory unlocked iphone to a new firmware, will I lose may apps, data or carrier unlock?? I have a 4.3.3 firmware but want 5.0.1

    If it's a genuine factory unlocked phone from Apple you should have no problems. I have had two, a 3GS and now a 4S, and they update and handle just like the locked phones. If it has been hacked in any way, though, all bets are off.

  • If I update my factory unlocked iphone 4 to iOS 7, will it have to be unlocked again?

    Hi, I have an iphone 4 factory unlocked running iOS 6.1.3, if I update it to iOS 7, will I have to pay to get it unlocked again or will it still be unlocked for use afterwards?

    okay, but just to be safe, how can we be sure that our phone is fatory unlocked? because my cousin apparently had a factory unlocked iphone 3g and updated it iOS 6.1.3 and it got locked
    Your cousins phone was therefore not, in fact, factory unlocked.  An iPhone sold directly by Apple as unlocked will never lock because of an iOS update.
    An iPhone unlocked by going through proper procedures and channels with the carrier to whom it was originally locked will never lock again because of an iOS update.
    An iPhone hacked to unlock it (which is unlocked by ANY other means then the first two) will lock again whenever iOS is updated.
    If I had to guess, I would say 90% of privately sold iPhones sold as "unlocked" are in fact merely hacked to unlock them, and WILL relock when updated.
    Some iPhones sold in Europe are also sold as "SIM free" and contract free, but do in fact lock to the carrier of the first SIM inserted in them.  No contract, or "SIM free" does not mean unlocked.

  • I have a factory unlocked iphone 4s ios 5.1 and let me know if I can upgrade to ios 6?

    I have a factory unlocked iphone 4s ios 5.1 and let me know if I can upgrade to ios 6?

    The conclusion I have arrived at during the limited time I have been reading indicate that there is a growing number of people complaining about the iOS 6 upgrade. According to Apple tech support they currently have no fix for any of the issues and they indicated that there are a large amount of calls coming in.
