When my Iphone 4S will be unlocked?

HI there, any one can answers the question on my title? I bought a iphone 4s from bestbuy  and they cost me $799 for a white 32gb iphone 4S. They told me that is a WORLD version. However, I sent it as a gift for my uncle and he can not use it. He told me that seem be a locked version.
Waiting for a answer. 
THanks

Apple's hardware (same across all carriers) is a world/global phone. However like Gotmulch said, the US carriers have still locked it to their networks.

    I want to buy it in april (2013)

    You can always buy an unlocked iPhone thru the apple online store in Canada. For states, I guess you just walk in and you should be able to grab one.

    Yes he was wrong about the date since they became available through the Apple website November 11th. And I have heard of many cases where people paid full price at the Apple retail stores and got their phones unlocked. I would just order online to be safe.

    My iphone 4 will not unlock when I press the home button, I have to alternate between the home and off button multiple times before my home scree will appear....please help!!!???

    Do a reset
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

    I bought an iPhone 5 from the Apple store with a new Sprint contract in Sept. 2012.  I would like to know if I port my number to T-mobile and pay off my Early Termination fee with Sprint, will my iPhone 5 will be unlocked to use with T-mobile network?

    As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

  • Does anyone know when the iphone 5 will be out?

    does anyone know when the iphone 5 will be out?

    Sorry for the practical joke, but really, there are dozens if not hundreds of threads asking this question and the answer is always the same: No one knows exactly, and that's the way Apple wants it. Apple hasn't even announced that there is going to be an iPhone 5; it's all speculation and rumor for now.
    My best guess is that you'll see a new iPhone at the same time iOS 5 is released, which should be late September or early October. (Or not... Apple will only say, "Fall 2011 – nothing more specific.) But it might not be an iPhone 5; it could be a slightly modified iPhone 4, or nothing at all.

    Anyone here knows as much as you do and has access to the same info as you. Check Apple's India website for announcements. 

  • Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature.

    Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature. What is the issue?

    It won't recognise it at all, but luckily I backed up very recently.
    I've booked an appointment with an Apple store who promise a working iPhone within 10 minutes of your appointment, whether fixed or a brand new iPhone.
    Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll leave the question unanswered incase people have any other suggestions or similar issues.
    Cheers.

  • HT1430 my iphone 4 will not unlock

    My iphone 4 will not unlock. It switches on, accepts the code then says 'unlocking please wait' but does not unlock.

    Try a reset. Hold Sleep/Wake button and Home button down until Apple logo appears. No date will be lost.

    You are not writing Apple.  This is a user to user forum, so we can not kindly clarify anything for you.  We don't work for Apple, thus we don't know their plans for selling their products in other countries.  You should contact Apple in your country who may know the answer to your question.

    Keep in mind that just because a device may not be upgradeable to the latest iOS release does not mean it cannot continue to work just fine on the last update it did get.  There will be many devices that were incompatible with iOS 7 that will continuing to work just fine on iOS 6 for a long time yet.  There are many people still using their iPad 1 despite the fact it stopped getting iOS updates after iOS 5.1.1.
    One way to safeguard your apps against future incompatible versions is to keep a backup of all your apps in iTunes on your computer.  That way, if an update to the app comes out that is not backwards compatible with your iOS, you still have a copy of the last version of the app that was compatible with your device and your iOS release.
