Who's my carrier?

Hopefully you can help me out . Status update on my order just changed to 'delivery scheduled by final carrier, see estimated shipping date' and there's now a 10 digit carrier tracking number which happens to be the same as my Delivery reference number but only just decided to show up. Under the assigned carrier it says UK Distribution Centre. Do I even have a carrier yet :/ ?
Thanks for any help

Ask whoever you bought it from. Call AppleCare and give them the serial number. They may be able to tell you.
If it's locked to Verizon or Sprint, it's useless to you. If it's locked to AT&T, you will not be able to get it unlocked unless you can provide them with the original proof of purchase for a no commitment phone from an AT&T or Apple Store in the US.
Most carriers require that you be a current or former customer in good standing before they will unlock an iPhone.

  • Can i look up my imei number to see who or which carrier i am locked to ?Search or ask a question

    i have been given an iphone 4s from my cousin ,she has restored the factory settings and i cant get the phone to accept my sim card as i guess it is a different carrier how could i fix the problem or wipe the imei number ? p.s i am computer illiterate

    Ask your cousin who the original carrier was, then call the carrier and ask if they will unlock the phone. Some carriers will only unlock phones for the original owner, so your cousin may have to ask.

    Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
    If you do not meet their requirements or they do not offer unlocking there is no official way to unlock the device.
    Who is your carrier?

  • How do i know which carrier my iphone is locked to?

    I bought my iphone 4 off ebay new in box, it is suppose to be for at&t but the box doesnt have any carrier information. an at&t sim card came in the phone but i am still apprihensive of it being locked to at&t. i am trying to unlock it so i just would like to have confermation of a carrier

    That is a lot of good evidence it is ATT. But to be certain, if you can turn it ON, then tap Settings App > General > About. Sometimes carrier information will be given here. If not then in this window of About will be the Model number. Enter this model number into Web Search and see who is the Carrier. if ATT this will be easy, if other, it could be a bit more difficult.

  • I just bought an iphone 4s from someone off of Craigslist and I am using my consumer cellular sim but it's saying I need to contact the carrier to unlock the phone?

    I bought an iphone 4s from someone off of craigslist. I went to update to ios7 (it was running ios5 for some reason) and when it finally updated it said the phone needed to be unlocked by the carrier. I don't know who the original carrier of the phone is or what to do about it.
    I'm using Consumer Cellular and it my sim was working perfectly in my Iphone 4 for 7 months.
    Did I totally get screwed out of $90?
    I think the phone was jailbroken but I'm not sure.

    Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can authorize it's unlocking.
    Consumer Cellular is not a supported carrier.
    Jailbreaking voids all rights to support from Apple and these user to user support forums.

  • I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim is ok. How to restore the iphone?

    I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim, it is ok. How to restore the iphone?

    I'm going to make some guesses here. You bought your phone second hand. In other words, not from Apple and not from your carrier. What you got is a hacked phone that was originally carrier locked, most likely to AT&T in the US. You are NOT in the US. (If I get any of this wrong, please tell me).
    What has happened is when you updated the software, it was re-locked to the original carrier.  ONLY the carrier can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, you're out of luck as they WILL NOT unlock an iPhone for any reason.
    If it's locked to another carrier, you will have to find out what carrier that is (you can NOT tell by looking at the model number) and find out if they unlock iPhones. If you can't find out, or if they do not, then your only real option is to sell the phone and purchase one from a LEGITIMATE source.

  • HT1430 SIM NOT VALID!! i wanted to update my iPhone to the latest version. i made it all the way up until you have to set up your phone. it says "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone." thats all it would let me

    what do i do when it will not take my SIM card anymore and i can not downgrade my phone? i already got a new SIM card but it still says its not compatible! what can i do?

    This means that your phone was hacked to be unlocked. Updating it restored the phone to Apple specs and re-locked to the original carrier.
    You will need to find out who the original carrier is and see if you qualify for unlocking.

  • Repair damage, keep carrier's unlock

    I highly doubt that this is possible, but is there any way to preserve something like an unlock by means of an iTunes or other backup? I understand that this is intended to back up files/settings and that changing or replicating an IMEI or serial number is likely impossible and completely illegal - not what I want to do - rather, I have a carrier-unlocked French iPhone with varied hardware damage, and I'd like to keep my unlocked iPhone without paying for a completely new one.
    I doubt that Apple will allow for out-of-warranty service and things aren't looking good for the insurance claim with my French carrier, so I'd be looking at buying a new phone from France and having a friend ship it to me in the US at a cost of at least 739€, or nearly $1100. My only idea is to have it serviced elsewhere at greater cost... Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks!

    Wondering if anyone knows the "for sure" answer to this. I am a Canadian iPhone 4 owner under warranty, who has a carrier-unlocked iPhone. That is, it was originally carrier locked and I legally paid them to have it unlocked through Apple iTunes.
    Now, when Apple looks at the phone in their database, it shows up unlocked.
    I am having problems with the home button, so I need to have it repaired under warranty. I am sure they will just swap it for a new one though, because that's how the roll at the Apple Store.
    Since it is registered to them as an unlocked phone, will that be what I get it replaced with now?

  • Dealing with the fallout of people who "Got Into IT Overnight"

    I know these feels!
    I took an Technology Coordinator ( which means I run our network, our servers, purchase, help desk, etc...) at a school, and the previous person relied on a MSP to do everything, but was really nice.
    It was a huge mess when I got there, and it's still a huge mess, as those years of neglect and bad choices can't be fixed completely in the 6 months I've been there so far.

    Welcome to the world. Murphy is a great guy. Greed is rampant so everything is about the dollars. Social skills and who you know carry more weight than hard skills and capability. Common sense isn't all that common. And nobody seems to understand the Law of Unintended Consequences anymore.
    Everybody wants to socialize and be part of the community. People want to fit in and be part of the pack. So they hire and look for social first, skills second in so many cases. "My friend/uncle/associate/dog got me into a position in IT because they liked how I interacted." is something that is apparently a common trend.That all being said, I've seen and suffered from the other side of this coin...Several years ago I was pulled in temporarily to a technology position that I was told I couldn't get permanently because I didn't teach. Yep. Working as...

  • Can i look up iphone type & carrier by model number?

    I have an iphone which  says carrier 14.0, version 6.1.3 can i look up what iphone style, carrier it is by the model or serial number so i can purchase a sim card & activate it?

    Ask your cousin who the original carrier was, then call the carrier and ask if they will unlock the phone. Some carriers will only unlock phones for the original owner, so your cousin may have to ask.

  • Call forwarding on iPhone4. I am sick of trying but once I input the number and go back to call forwarding, it turns off call forwarding. Any idea why

    tried the simple way of call forwarding going in to settings>call forwarding> turn on call forwarding> enter number> return to call forwarding
    but the status is going back to 'off' from 'on'
    I also tried *61*number# but there again its failing. Can someone assist please?

    Who is your carrier? Not all carriers support enabling and disabling call forwarding using the controls in Settings.
