Want to know mobile is unlocked or not

Hi. I have bought new iphone 5s from saudi arabia in local shop. Its model No: ME307LL/A. How could i know this mobile is unlocked or not? Can indian sim work in this model mobile?

And, exactly why would you purchase an iPhone, & then after purchasing it, try to find out if it is carrier locked/hacked, or unlocked? Don't you think you should have tried to get this info before you purchased?
If not purchased from an authorized source, the phone could have come from anywhere, & could have been hacked to unlock it...that's the chance you take when you don't purchase from an authorized source.
You can try calling AppleCare to get this info. Here's a list of worldwide support numbers:

    I wanted to know how to unlock my iphone, since I had to restore it and when it restarted, it appeared this message: "The SIM card que you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported under the Currently actuvation policy that is assigned by the server activion. this is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request que this iphone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information. "
    I need help, I use my phone for everything enclusive to work. I appreciate if you can help. I'm from Brazil. My name and giullia.

    Did you purchase this device from Apple or an authorized reseller? It sounds as if you had a device that was jailbroken/hacked to operate on your carrier. Upon updating the iOS, it is now locked back to the original carrier the device was locked to.
    Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. You will need to make contact with that carrier and see if they provide unlocking services, and if they do, if you qualify for an unlock. Otherwise, you are out of luck. One that carrier can take care of the unlocking.

    This is not a technical question, and discussions of Apple's policies are not appropriate here. If you have some sort of problem with your own iTunes Store account, by all means let us know and we may be able to help you, but otherwise this question is not one we can discuss in these forums.

  • I will studying in the UK for the next year and want to know if an unlocked iPhone 4S with a new sim card purchased in the UK will work as opposed to getting a new phone?

    I will studying in the UK for the next year and want to know if an unlocked iPhone 4S with a new sim card purchased in the UK will work as opposed to getting a new phone?  There seem to be differeing opinions on this.

    Iphone 4s only has one version so it should work world wide in any carrier..As long as it's and unlocked version ofcourse.

    Hi,
    This is a user-to-user forum. Everyone is voluteering their time. Sometimes you need to wait more that 4 minutes for an answer.
    Many USB ports do not supply enough power to charge an iPad. It may be charging but very slowly and only when the screen is dark. Your best bet is to charge it using the wall charger.
    It's a little hard to answer your second question without more details. However, have a look at this article:

    Best of luck.

  • My laptop is making weird noices from the back and i wanted to know if its normal or not

    Hello,
    I bought my laptop not to long ago and weird noices is coming oout from the back and I wanted to know if its normal for it to make those noices

    Weird noise coming from the back of the computer is not normal.
    Humming noise from fans and  sounds from working HD are normal.
    You can take the computer to the Apple store and have it checked out.
    Best.

  • I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, when I want to know how much memory can not store in the same way in either computer.

    I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, the way to see how much memory I have in my iMac is diferent than MacBookPro. And where I can see the memory of the disc I've got in my iMac? Than you very much.

    If you want everything the same on both computers you need to be running the same OS X version. You can't because your iMac is a PPC machine, not Intel.
    But to see information about your hard drive is the same for both. Simply select the drive icon on the Desktop. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Disk information is in the upper panel.

  • Please i want to know how to unlock my iphone 5 from at

    from at&t to any other network to work in egypt thanks

    You need to talk to AT&T, but I can tell you that if you aren't a current customer, or a former customer and if you haven't used that iPhone on your accoutn with them for a certain amount of time, they will refuse the unlock.  They will only unlock for customers who used the iPhones on an account with them.

  • Unlocked or not ?

    i have a iphone4 and i dont know does it unlock or not. how can i understand that if it is unlocked?

    No one here can tell you if the iPhone is unlocked, but it must be since I don't believe Apple sells the iPhone in Turkey. If they do, the iPhone is sold as carrier locked with Turkcell or as unlocked.
    The iPhone is either officially unlocked or was hacked to be unlocked. If hacked to be unlocked, installing a firmware update or restoring the iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed will re-lock the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with when new.

  • Hello people...i am planning to order iphone 5s online and wanted to know whether i can use it in india or not? Is it the factory unlocked mobile or it is related to some t-mobile contract?

    Please help me with dis problem....as soon as possible, as i am not able to understand dat should i order iphone 5s or not?? I am gonna use it in india, and i have no issue paying 700$ including taxes...i just dont want any sim lock issues...

    You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
    I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
    It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
    This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
    Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile.

    Hi! I'm from Russia and i want to buy the new unlocked iPhone 4S in the U.S. in November, but i need to know, am i need this doc's?
    What to Bring with You
    Your old mobile phone, if you’re replacing it.
    Social Security number of the account holder.
    Valid government-issued photo ID.
    Carrier account password, if you have one.
    Your Apple ID and password.

    According to Apple's list (link above) you will probably want to pick up a Sprint or US Cellular model. HOWEVER, as I mentioned above I know that the Verizon iPhones come unlocked from the factory (assuming it will be the same for iPhone 6 and 6+). I DO NOT KNOW if the Sprint and US Cellular models come unlocked. But I am sure some quick internet research will lead you to the answer.
    I think your goal would be to get a Sprint or US Cellular version. Also I believe a law was just recently passed that allows someone to have a phone unlocked by the carrier no questions asked. So even if the Sprint and US Cellular iPhones are locked you can have them unlocked.

    Hi, I am at T-mobile and I want iPhone 5, so I want to know where unlocked iPhone 5 will be ready to buy

    I just called At&t.  It's easy.  It will take 5-7 days after I submit my request at www.att.com/deviceunlock
    It does not cost anything.  Good to know if anyone is going overseas.  Just remember it takes 5-7 days for the iphone to get unlock so allow enough time to plan.  Thank you apple club support.
