Who will tell me whether my phone is unlocked or not?

hi
who will tell me whether my phone is unlocked or not?

If your phone is out of contract, then I would take that to mean that when you purchased the phone you purchased it with a contract?  If this is correct, then you will have to contact your phone company to request that they unlocked your phone for you.  Nobody else can do this.  If this is the case and you did have a contract, then it does mean that your phone is locked.

  • How do I know whether my phone is unlocked or not?

    Hello
    I am in Thailand trying to activate my iphone 4S with Thailand SIM card.
    but the phone message says below.
    This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.
    so my question is how do I know whether my phone is unlocked one or not, before I go and try get new SIM card.
    Thank you very much. Your reply will be very much appreciated.

    If your phone will not work with another sim card, then it is likely to be locked to the original carrier.
    The only way to get your phone unlocked is to contact that phone company/carrier that the phone is locked to and hope that they offer unlocking.  Apple cannot unlock a phone for you, only the phone company that your phone is locked to can do that.  Some offer unlocking and some don't, so if the phone company does not offer unlocking, then you are out of luck and you'll either have to buy a new phone or use a sim card of the comapny - take out a contract with the compnay that the phone is locked to.
    Anyway - contact Apple to see whether your phone is locked conclusively and if you talk to them they can tell you what they need.

    Nothing we can do to help you.  If it was bought in the UK from an Apple store as unlocked, it is unlocked.  If it was bought anywhere else, it will be locked, and only the carrier it is locked to will be able to unlock it.
    If you've tried a local SIM and it has not worked, then you have your answer, it is locked.

  • Hi. Im currently living in New Zealand. Just bought an iphone 5s yesterday from a shop called Parallel Brand Imports in Auckland. When i came home i called apple to check whether my phone is locked or not and they said that its locked to US Verizon even t

    When i came home i called apple to check whether my phone is locked or not and they said that its locked to US Verizon even though when i checked on iphoneimei it said sim status unknown. I put my 2degrees (NZ carrier) in today and it worked fine. I got into the settings and turned off the automatically part of carrier and there were 3 options for me to choose 2degrees vodafone and telecom. Because of that, im quite confused abt whether my phone is locked or not since im from vietnam so i want to know if i can use vietnamese sim card when i go home. Thanks for your help@verizon

    Hi tranvietanh - I appreciate you contacting us all the way from New Zealand! I can confirm that the iPhone 5s and all of our other 4G LTE device are not SIM locked. As the carrier in New Zealand may not support the exact same frequencies and cellular bands that we use on our network, we are unable to support the device if using a 3rd party SIM.

  • I want to know about my phone whether it is factory unlocked or not???

    Dear Concern,
    i want to know about my phone whether it is factory unlocked or not???
    Need your kind support in this regards.

    Ask whoever you bought it from or call Apple Care and give them the serial number. If you'd purchased it from an authorized source, you wouldn't have this problem.

    Depends
    If you need a cellphone then No.
    If he wants more than $1 then No.
    I would suggest that you buy an iPod Touch from Apple.

  • When I try to sync, it will tell me that some of my songs can not be found, almost 100 of them. Any suggestion how to fix this?

    Why when I try to sync to my ipod, it tells me that some of my songs can not be found when they are in my library?

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • How to know whether the phone is unlocked?

    Is there someplace in the software of my 3Gs that says whether or not the phone is unlocked? I don't want to get overseas and find out too late that I did it wrong. AT&T did their part. And I think I did my correctly. But how do I know I have achieved "unlockness"?

    Did you restore through iTunes and receive the 'Congratulations, your iPhone is now unlocked!' message?
    If so, your device is unlocked. If not, then it hasn't been unlocked

  • When I started my ipad I didn't connect it to my iPhone, and now I want to. How do I connect the two so that my ipad messages will be sent to my phone if I'm not on it.

    When I started my ipad I didn't connect it to my iPhone, and now I want to. How do I do this without losing everything and so that my ipad messages will be sent to my iPhone!?!

    Did you read the support article that I posted above? Your iPhone number is associated with your Apple ID, so this should be doable.... Unless your iPhone is associated with a different Apple ID. Then this will not work.
    From the support article... You may have to sign out on the phone as well.
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

  • HT3209 why is there not just a button I can click that will tell me, whether or not my system is able to play HDCP

    As the title says, I find it really difficult to verify whether or not the computers I use (PC) can play HDCP.
    There doesn't seem to be a "Click here to see if your computer supports HDCP"-type of link anywhere.
    It would be really nice if there was.
    (and please no weird 3rd party software downloads)

  • Who can tell me whether I can make a call from MAC if iPhone 5s doesn't support FaceTime ?

    MBP is OS X yasmite, and iphone 5s is 8.1, but iPhone 5s was bought in UAE, does not support FaceTime,
    it means I cannot make a call from my MBP, right?

    Wrong.  The setting is not on the iPhone and whether it has Facetime or not is irrelevant because the iPhone does nothing really. it should be on the computer however.
    On your Mac, open the FaceTime app, then go to Preferences under FaceTime, and tap Settings. Make sure the iPhone Cellular Calls option is switched on.
    With that on, make sure both the Mac and the iPhone or on the same Wifi network. and both are signed in with the same Apple ID to iCloud.
    Then it should work.
