Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT
Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2 year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy. Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me. These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE?? WHY? A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones... Please tell me why? All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue. I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone.
A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA. Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone. That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them. That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with.
Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country. I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
A response would be appreciated.
Thank you.
An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.

Defiled:
I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east. She travels in missions all over.
At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone? AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier. If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" . My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T . I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product. My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
Thank you for your responses.

I am currently trying to download the latest iTunes version but I don't know that is going to help me as the problem is basic to Apple security.
If Find My iPhone is on and you cannot identify your phone as you said in the previous post, then it is not logged into your account. Is this a used phone that you are trying to restore that was not activated with your Apple ID and password? It isn't asking for a passcode, it is asking for the Apple ID and password, correct?
I think you need to tell a little more about this phone. I don't think you have told the entire story. Even the part in your first post about downloading iTunes. What kind of computer and operating system are you using? What version of iTunes do you currently have? Did you purchase and activate this phone when it was new? -
Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?
Why won't apple give Ting the iPhone?
Ting is a "MVNO", a virtual network provider; basically, they're a reseller of Sprint's cellular network, only with way, way, better pricing than basically anyone else. They don't do "contracts", and they don't charge separate fees for everything. So if you had five phones on an account, you'd pay $6/phone, plus a single fee for all the data. No $20-per-line "data plans". If I moved my current six phones (including friends and family) to Ting, I'd pay about 70% less per month for cell service... But I'd have to buy the phones up front. Which I'd do, but I have a couple people who want iPhones, and Apple-or-Sprint (it's not clear which) is not willing to let Ting do them.

Only the carrier to which the phone is locked can authorize an unlock. None of the Japanese carriers will do that. Sell the phone and buy one that works in Brazil. -

Why is that when I downloaded the iOS 7 for my iphone 5 that it changed my send and receive for imessages to a random number but my SMS messages are still linked to my phone number?
I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution. I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

We use one ID for the Apps store for 2 iPhones. In the second profile on the Macit is impossible to update apps there is a mistake. What is the decision?
This happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". Also uncheck the other phone's phone number, if present. -
Some songs that I've bought on iTunes won't play on my iPhone 3GS even though they used to and they will still play on iTunes. Anyone know what I can do to get these songs to play on my iPhone again? Please help!
No, I haven't figured it out. And no one from Apple has contacted me to help. Very frustrating. Sure makes me want to not buy music on iTunes and just buy CD's.
Do you have a 3GS too? Maybe it's something with that phone?? -

There is no unlock code.
Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone, or send the unlock request to Apple. -
How do I reinstall the driver software for my iphone 3gs to my PC?
Hi there,
I accidentally deleted the driver software for my iPhone 3GS and don't know how to get it back.
My computer is a Windows Vista and I can still sync to iTunes and sync music and photos etc. But I want to use internet tethering for an internet connection on my computer which I have done previously. One day I was mucking around with the tethering and I accidentally deleted my iPhone from the computer. I went to reinstall it and and it searched for the driver software which it could not find on my computer, after this it asked for a disc so it could search for the software on that. My phone never came with a disc originally and I didn't have this problem when I first got my iPhone and initially installed it. So I chose the option that I didn't have a disc, the next options are to browse manually or search for another option and both of those failed (I chose a manual locotion on the computer where I thought it might be which was: (C:)/Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support/Drivers, but this didn't work.) The computer still recognises my phone and all it just needs to install it.
I would be pleased if I could get any sort of reply guys.Probably only way is to call Applecare in your country and they may tell you who holds the lock. IIRC you IMEI and serial # are required

try formatting the iphone but when I put in nfc mode and connect it to the pc recognizes it and everything when you try to format the error 3004 appearsHello polo-angulo,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the nature and scope of the issue you are describing. If you are saying that you are getting an error code (3004) when you try to restore your iPhone (because you could not remember your passcode), you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
