  • Factory unlocked iPhone not working

    i bought a factory unlocked iphone 4 8gb from walmart in new jersey. I put an at&t sim and it worked. But now that i am back to my country (Pakistan) it isnt working and it is locked. I paid over $500 for a factory unlocked phone. Kindly help!
    thanx

    Hi Liju,
    There is nothing to worry at all. a FU iPhone works with any carrier including Airtel and Vodafone in any city of India. based on my experience that has been explained earlier in this thread, it is better to use a New SIM.
    I prepared the micro sim on my own by cutting the sim with a cutter. It is quite a simple process. Just browse through web, you get lot of info on that. As far as activation process is concerned, it is **** simple. Insert micro SIM into phone. Connect it to iTunes and register it. That's it. Your phone gets activated within few seconds.
    Mail me at girishramarao<at>gmail<dot>com for any more questions

  • My USA purchased iPhone 4S factory unlock is not working in India as it gets no signal bars

    Hi,
    I got my iPhone 4S from USA, which came with AT&amp;T sim in it. It was sold as factory unlocked but when I inserted Indian sim card in it , there appeared the name of the service provider but no signals.
    Can anybody help as what best can be done to resolve this issue.
    Please help. !

    You do not have an unlocked iPhone 4S. Those have not yet been released in the US, and will never be available from AT&T. You may have an iPhone purchased without a contract, but it is locked to AT&T, who do not unlock iPhones at any time for any reason. Return the iPhone to the place you purchased it and get your money back, since you will not be able to use that iPhone with an Indian carrier. I'd suggest you wait until the iPhone 4S is released in India rather than purchase from another country, since the warranty on the iPhone is valid only in the country of original sale.
    Regards.

    will it work in india?

    Apple retail stores in Canada do sell officially unlocked iPhones. However, they may not have the iPhone 5, officially unlocked, in stock. But they do sell them. Be very careful, Apple retail stores sell both at full price, officially unlocked & carrier locked without contract. If your receipt has any carrier name listed or the phone comes with a sim card, it is not officially unlocked.

  • Recommend a (USA) micro SIM card for a factory-unlocked iPhone 4s?

    Could be a simple question but I can't find the answer: I bought a factory-unlocked iPhone 4s (from Apple)  for use while traveling abroad (mainly China). I already have a Chinese SIM card to use while I'm China.  I just got the iPhone delivered to me in the US and I want to get it set up and tested before I travel back to China.
    But I'm a little confused about where I can get a micro SIM card in the US  to pop into the phone for a couple of days just to get it set up and running (I don't need a lot of time on the card).
    Can I just pop into any AT&T or T-mobile store and pick up a micro-SIM card that will work?

    Hi, thanks for your answer. I just got off the phone trying to clarify this with AT&T. They tell me that they also have something called a "Go" card that I can get for my (factory-unlocked) iPhone that works without a plan. But, as you pointed out regarding the T-mobile card, it sounds as if I don't get full service on the iPhone. They told me that I won't be ablet to browse the web via the card, only when I'm connected via Wi Fi.
    I am headed out to try to find a card today and will update this thread with any further discoveries.

  • I want to buy a factory unlocked iphone 4s from US ,will it work in india ?

    i want to buy a factory unlocked iphone 4s from US ,will it work in india

    Unlocked iPhone 4S's are not yet generally available at retail in the U.S. Currently, the only official way to get one is order from the US online Apple store. This will require a US credit card with a valid US billing/shipping address.

  • I bought an factory unlocked iphone 3gs at the apple store today and just ordered a sim card activation kit and a 30 dollar minute card for it. the sim will work in the unlocked iphone am i correct?

    i bought an factory unlocked iphone 3gs at the apple store today and just ordered a sim card activation kit and a 30 dollar minute card for it. the sim will work in the unlocked iphone am i correct? and i can use messaging on it right?

    If T-Mobile in the US, while your phone will activate/work, you won't have FaceTime, MMS or 3G. T-Mobile, in the US, is not a supported iPhone carrier, thus all features of the iPhone may not be available. T-Mobile's 3G network, in the US, is not compatible with the iPhone.

  • HT1937 Will a factory unlocked iPhone 5 A1429-GSM work in S Korea & USA?

    According to Apple, the model A1429 (GSM) is the one for South Korea- LTE bands 1 (2100 MHz), 3 (1800 MHz) and 5 (850 MHz).
    When I return to the US in 2014 will I be able to use it on Verizon and sprint's network? I noticed that the LTE band 1, 3 and 5 are also supported by those two US carriers.  However, those two carriers use a different platform/technology (CDMA).
    I am positive that the A1429 GSM will use a nano sim card.  What about the CDMA? Please clarify.
    I am contract free as of yesterday and able to go with either of the carriers and be able to factory unlock it before my departure in January 2013. However, the hardware must work in Korea and in the US.
    Another option that I am considering is a factory unlocked iPhone 4S, but I cant find a 32GB.  I am very reluctant with this option as I am afraid that when I return to the US (Jan 2014) things will drastically change and I wont be able to enjoy the new advancements in the mobile tech world because I have a hardware that wont handle them.
    Thank you. 

    Apple does sell the A1429 GSM in Europe
    This may help

  • Factory unlocked iPhone 4S ios 5.1.1 emoji is not working under some circumstances

    I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4S
    I have a $50 monthly 4g plan on tmobile but I doubt that is relevant
    I am running iOS 5.1.1
    Whenever I send emojis to other iPhones  my recipients cannot see them unless it is on iMessage.
    Even on the Facebook app, I can see emojis that friends send me in messages but when I reply with an emoji via facebook it says "message cannot be delivered at this time"
    However one single emoji does work on Facebook and it is the red heart
    Can someone help me fix this or at least tell me why it won't work?
    I can see emojis fine but for some reason I can't send them. Not even on facebook

    T-mobile is not a supported carrier of iphones and not all functions will work.  this is probably the reason emojis will not work.   Switch to At&T

  • I got factory unlocked iphone5s A1530 model from india with warranty... Now i shifting to rgina canada so will this phone work in canada with canadian sim card...with canadian operators

    I got factory unlocked iphone5s A1530 model from india with warranty... Now i shifting to regina canada so will this phone work in canada with canadian sim card...with Canadian operators permanently...

    Remember though, that although you have warranty on this phone, it is only valid in India and NOT Canada, because you purchased the phone in India and iPhone warranty is country specific, so if you have problems with the phone, then you'll need to take it back to India to get it fixed.
    If you will be in Canada for any length of time, then buy a new phone in Canada.  It will be guaranteed to work then and you will also have warranty cover.

  • I bought a factory unlocked iphone 4s. it was working fine but when i upgraded it to iOS 5.1 it gave me "no sim" message. so when i tried to restore the iphone setting it is giving me now "ICCID: unknown" message please help. any ideas?

    i bought a factory unlocked iphone 4s. it was working fine but when i upgraded it to iOS 5.1 it gave me "no sim" message.
    so i tried then to restore the iphone using itunes but it got worse it is giving me now "ICCID: unknown" message please help. any ideas?

    Please define "factory unlocked". The term is basically meaningless. iPhones are sold either carrier locked or unlocked. Some carriers will unlock them after a period of time upon meeting certain requirements and paying a fee.
    There are lots of places that will "factory unlock" an iPhone. This basically translates to "hack". This can cause permanent damage to the phone. Best case scenario is these phones will re-lock to the original carrier on an update or restore. Worst case it they become expensive bricks.
    ICCID unknown indicates a critical failure. There is no way to resolve this other than taking it in to Apple and getting the phone replaced. It's very possible that the phone was hacked and attempting to update has now killed it.
    Where, EXACTLY, did you get this phone?

  • T-Mobile SIM card won't work with my replacement factory unlocked iPhone 5

    On Saturday, my rear camera on my factory unlocked iPhone 5 stopped focusing. I took it in to my nearest Apple store and they replaced it. Problem is, now I can't get my T-Mobile SIM card to work with the replacement phone. The guys at the genius bar sent me to T-Mobile to see if a new SIM card would fix the problem, but I'm still getting an "Unsupported SIM" error when I try to activate the phone. Any insights?

    Do you have information about the model no. of original purchase that is printed on the back cover ?
    What is model no. of the replacement iPhone 5 ?
    If T-mobile SIM worked on the original purchase and does not work on the replacement iPhone 5, they gave you a wrong model.

  • Will Apple cover my factory unlocked iphone 3GS anywhere in the world?

    Hello,
    I'm planning on buying a factory unlocked iphone 3GS directly from the Apple Store in Hong Kong.
    Will Apple cover my iphone with the warranty worldwide or only in Hong Kong?
    Thank you.

    What I meant to say is that technically, hardware-wise, almost all iphones 3GS are the same (I believe the models in mainland China don't have GPS?).
    It's no WiFi in China. GPS used to be illegal in Egypt, but they changed the law recently.
    Correct me if I'm wrong but I suppose that the carrier lock is a software lock, which can be removed (we've all heard about it), but gets reversed once you update to a new OS version.
    Carriers can ask Apple to unlock particular phones. The next time the iPhone is restored via iTunes, new firmware will be downloaded from Apple and will display a message saying it has been unlocked. It will stay unlocked if updated. Unofficial unlocks (which can not be done on current iPhones) will re-lock if the iPhone is updated.
    I know it is the way it is, but I believe most of you would agree that if you buy a telephone, you shouldn't be forced to go with one carrier or another. That is why when I pay for an unlocked phone, I pay much more, go get the freedom (without hacks) to choose the carrier I want (where in contrast I pay much less for calls and internet than with the exclusive iphone carrier).
    It would be much easier for Apple if all iPhones were unlocked, and the same in all countries, but the carriers make a fortune from their exorbitant roaming charges, so where the country's laws allow, insist that Apple not make any unlocked iPhones available in their countries.
    By the way, MMS is not something most people use. There are some statistics on the internet about the ratio of SMS to MMS and it was something like 10 to 1.
    All the 3G and 3GS iPhones are capable of MMS, but the carriers have to support it.

  • If I upgrade my factory unlocked iphone to a new firmware, will I lose may apps, data or carrier unlock??

    If I upgrade my factory unlocked iphone to a new firmware, will I lose may apps, data or carrier unlock?? I have a 4.3.3 firmware but want 5.0.1

    If it's a genuine factory unlocked phone from Apple you should have no problems. I have had two, a 3GS and now a 4S, and they update and handle just like the locked phones. If it has been hacked in any way, though, all bets are off.
