Will my replacement iPhone 4S be unlocked?

My phone wont charge/turn on, so I have an option of getting it replaced for $199, but my current iPhone is locked and not under any carrier contract, due to personal reasons. If i get the replacement phone, would the new one still be locked under the same conditions?

You will get a refurbished unit that is the same as what you turn in. If yours is locked to a service, then so will the replacement.

  • When will come the iphone 4s factory unlocked?

    Hello, i want to know where will come the iphone 4s factory unlocked? because here still say: coming in november... but, what day of november?? i gonna be in united states just for 3 days more, so i dont know where can i buy a factory unlocked iphone 4s, please let me know! and, whats the difference between ''factory unlocked'' and ''contract-free'' thanks!

    If you care about the camera, you will not want the iPad. The iPad's cameras are intended for video only, particularly video conferencing, and so are quite low in resolution.
    In regards to getting an unlocked iPhone 4S in the US, understand that the warranty and service on the iPhone is not international. So if you were to purchase the iPhone in the US and anything were to go wrong with the hardware, you'd have to ship the iPhone to someone in the US to take or send it to Apple for service. I'd therefore strongly suggest waiting to purchase your iPhone in the country in which you live.
    Regards.

  • What will they replace iPhone 5 under Apple Care +?

  • If I upgrade to an iPhone 4S will my current iPhone 4 be unlocked?

    I'm looking to upgrade to an iPhone 4S, I very much want to, and I was wondering if, since I have only recently switched to Verizon, gotten an iPhone 4, and now have a hefty sum of cash to pay to upgrade early, will my current iPhone 4 be unlocked if I upgrade?

    Verizon phones use CDMA. They don't get "unlocked". There is, theoretically, a way for another carrier to reconfigure the phone for use on their network. It requires being sent away. The only other major CDMA carrier in the U.S. is Sprint. I don't know if they offer that service.
    You are free to sell the phone to someone else who wants to use the phone on the Verizon network.

  • Will my replacement iphone be unlocked to all networks?

    I have just recieved a replacement Iphone 4s as my old one was faulty, But recently bought myself a Iphone 5.
    I wanted to pass the new Iphone 4 onto my sister but i was on Vodafone & shes on 3.
    Will the replacement that Apple have sent me be unlocked to all networks? Or still be on Vodafone?
    Bearing in mind its a whole new handset.
    My sister is awaiting the delivery of her micro sim so cannot test it out to see until that comes.
    Anyone that could help would be appriciated! Thanks

    The replacement handset will have the same carrier profile settings that the old one had.  If the old one was carrier locked, the new one will be as well.  You can always ask the carrier to unlock the device. It's up to them.
    If they agree, the process takes a few days to work thru the system, then you restore the replacement iPhone 4, and the new carrier profile (sim-unlock or carrier unlock) will be applied.  But again, it is at the carrier's discretion.

  • Will a replaced iPhone 3GS have the new firmware 3.1.3?

    Will a replaced (reconditioned) iPhone 3GS have the new firmware 3.1.3 yet?
    Thinking of taking mine to an apple store in the UK and it will more than likely just be replaced.
    Any had one replaced in the last few days or had experience of how quickly they update thier stock handsets?
    Many thanks

    I would expect they will not. I got a replacement 3G back in mid October which still had 3.1 or 3.1.1 on it. First time I sync'd it with iTunes in updated to 3.1.2. Phones with 3.1.3 will probably cycle into inventory over time, but I am pretty sure they don't update existing stock.

  • Will Apple replace iPhone 5 for broken lock button, if under warranty ?

    I've had my iPhone 5 around 5 months.
    For a few days the button has been sticking, and I've had to press it around 6 times to get it to lock/wake.
    However today, the button is totally stuck and isn't even clicking at all.
    It's still in warranty, however I haven't got AppleCare or insurance with O2.
    On Apple's support page, it stated I can send it off to be repaired, however, this can take 7 days.
    If I make a Genius appointment, and go into the store, do they sent it off or replace it you there and then.
    Thanks

    If it's defective, as opposed to physically damaged due to accident or abuse, then Apple will replace the phone.
    If you make an appointment and take it in to the genius bar, they should be able to replace it on the spot.

  • Will my replacement iphone be refurbished?

    my iphone bent and i was wondering if i will get a brand new one or not.

    Generally replacement phones are refurbished, however there is no real way to tell if they are new or refurbished. It really doesn't matter. It is an iPhone.

  • Will my current iPhone 5 factory unlocked from Apple support T-Mobile's 4G LTE when T-Mobile launches the iPhone on April 14th?

    Okay so it has been announced that T-Mobile will be selling the iPhone 5 and it will also support their 4G LTE networks. My question is, if I bought a factory unlocked iPhone 5 from the Apple store (2 weeks ago) will it support the 4G LTE T-Mobile networks? Or will be stuck with the insoncistant 3G and Edge speeds? I have the A1428 model.

    For more information, see:
    http://www.forbes.com/sites/matthickey/2013/03/26/t-mobiles-iphone-5-is-atts-iph one-5-but-its-not/
    Articles have indicated that eventually the Apple Stores will sell a single model that will work on both T-Mobile's and AT&T's networks, but how soon that will happen is unknown.

  • HT3302 Will apple replace iPhone 5 for a charge?

  • IMessage Will Not Activate [iPhone 4s || Factory Unlock || Simple Mobile]

    Ive had this iphone for about a month now and imessage and facetime does not work. it says waiting far activation and after awhile it fails. Ive tried literally EVERY THING on the net. everywhere. Someone please help. My sister has this same setup and hers is working find.
    another question, is simple mobile the same as tmobile?

    First turn off imessage and facetime.  Then restart the phone, wait about a minute or so and turn imessage and facetime back on and see if they activate.  To restart hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).  If that doesn't do it you should be aware that activation of imessage sends a hidden SMS to a +44 number in the UK and depending upon where you are that could mean an international SMS.  Does your plan with your carrier provide for sending international SMS?

  • I have an iphone 5 that was originally with verizon but has been unlocked now by them and the phone is still under the apple warranty, if I go to replace for power button malfunctioning, will they give replace it with an unlocked phone as well?

    I currently have an iphone 5 that was verizon locked but has been unlocked by them because of my contract, the phone is still under the apple warranty but the power button is not working, if it was the case that apple has to replace it with another phone, will they replace with an unlocked phone now?
    thanks

    The SIM Lock is stored on the Apple Activation Server - if it has been correctly unlocked by a network then this would have been done on the Activation Server.
    When you get your replacement handset through Apple they mirror the activation server details of your existing handset and the current SIM LOCK status is mirror'd onto the new device.
    (100% Accurate - done mine 2 weeks before christmas due to original 5 sleep button stopped working)
