IPhone :: Apple Offering A Pin For AT&T Lock For 4S To Be Used In Other Countries?
Jun 18, 2012
My cousin just bought an iPhone 4 recently locked to AT&T and is currently living in the Philippines. He told me that if I would ask Apple, I will be able to get the pin to unlock my phone. I will be going to the Philippines as well and I need to get my phone unlocked. He contacted Apple and got the pin and got his iPhone 4 unlocked in minutes. My question is how would I get it?
how is Apple going to expand sales into 17 more countries at the end of this week, but I've ordered my iPhone over a week ago and it still has a ship date of August? Yet, they can sell more phones in other countries...are they just mass producing all these phones the past few weeks and saving them up for the new launch in these other countries and holding out in the U.S.?? Makes me a little upset, I am not an Apple fan and never have been. I have been using Android for quite some time now and never had any issues but I finally decided to make the switch to try something new and yet it gets worse and worse before I can even get my hands on the actual phone!
I have decided to upgrade my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5. With my iPhone connected to iTunes, when I click "Check for Update" I get a message that says, "This version of the iPhone software (4.2.1) is the current version." How do I get it to upgrade me to iOS 5?
I installed LockInfo a while ago. I got everything working fine, downloaded it and plugins fine. I got them all from the same repo as I was advised to do that, and everything seemed to be working fine. Everything was up to date etc.
I received an SMS, and instead of it appearing under the SMS on LockInfo, which it does, it appears as well by the annoying Apple notification box.
I still want my phone to light up when I received a text message and the text message to be displayed under the SMS tab in LockInfo, but how do I get rid of the Apple notification box? I saw when configuring the app there was some thing about quick replying to texts and there was a list to choose form. Would any of those get rid of the Apple alert?
So I have been searching & have even spent money on trying to find a dot lock for the apple iphone 4s and dont seem to find it , does apple have it ? why or why not ?
If someone buy an iphone via Ebay (or other online trade site), and its locked to a foreign provider, is it possible to ask Apple to remove the sim lock directly? I know Apple in contract with providers, but an example:I get an iPhone from US (as an european person). It locked for one of US providers. I can activate it (if I have original provider's SIM or on CDMA network), but nothing else. So I get an iPod (in good case). To use this device, I must go to US, stay there for many months, make a contract with the provider, and after many waiting, they may unlock it for other fees (or not). As anyone can see, this is not a working way.So if the phone is clear (were on good standing on original provider, not reported as stolen device etc.) is it possible to request unlock directly from Apple (for fee)I know there's unofficial methods to unlock the iPhone,
I live in Denmark, and apple is going to release iphone 4 in july. But now when iphone 4 was sold out last week, and now apple is even delaying the ship date to 14 july. these delays can effect europe
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. I am (Netherlands). It's going to be a lonngggg month. 3GS will be gone by next week and than I still have to wait for 3 or 4 weeks. Pff. Luckily for me holiday is coming really soon so I can do whatever I want... without an iPhone 3Gspeed.
My wife and I each have an unlocked, no-contract iPhone 4s. Next month we'll be traveling for a couple weeks in Croatia (mostly) and a few days in Slovenia. We're planning to bring our phones with us. We'll be making just a few calls (probably to each other, when we get separated), and using some data - we'll try to take advantage of wfi when its available in our hotels, but I expect we'll use some data when no wifi is available. Doesn't have to be terribly fast (no streaming video), we'll make do with whatever connection speeds are available. I assume we can remove the micro-sim cards from the phones at home, before we leave (leaving them safely at home), then upon arrival at our destination purchase micro-sim cards for both phones, insert them and...I guess activate them on the local network.
Will the phones work during our flight over, without any sim card - (obviously not for calls or data, but for listening to music, watching preloaded movies or playing games)? I've never done this before, but I assume that all content on the phones (music, movies, apps & associated data) will be preserved - correct? Are there any gotchas I should watch out for around iTunes accounts, Apple IDs, setup, etc.? (my wife is not very good about remembering her itunes password...even at home). Basically, do I just pay for the local micro sim card and voice/data plan upon arrival, pop it in the phone, start it up, and start using it? Or do I need to go through any kind of initialization/reset process? My goal is to just change the phone carrier/phone number, but leave everything else on the phone intact and functional - so it's easily switched back once we get home.
I'll make sure that we've updated our phones and synced them via iTunes before we leave home, but I'm assuming we will not have access to any computer (at least none that I'd want to plug my phone into) while we're traveling. Once we get back home a few weeks later, I'm expecting things to return to normal when we pop our "domestic" sim cards back in - I'll assume we can start using the phones on our existing domestic carrier (with our original phone numbers) without having to jump through any extra hoops - correct? (BTW, no, I don't want to just pay our domestic carrier for a travel voice/data package - not an option for us, thanks; one of the reasons we bought unlocked, no-contract phones was to be able to use them internationally with local sim cards.)
I know this is probably vague since the new iPhone hasn't been released yet, but I would like to buy the iPhone 4 at its release, from AT&T without the contract ($599/$699), because I move to Germany a few weeks later. As far as I know it is still locked to AT&T then. Could you use it with a German sim card. How do I activate or can I avoid an activation and how can I use it in Germany? Do I need to wait for an unlock? I don't want to buy it in Germany because it is far more expensive and I don't want to use it with the standard-iPhone carrier.
I recently updated my iPhone 3g and am irritated with how slow it's running as I've heard a lot of people are. I've read about downgrading to the old OS but I'm beginning to consider jailbreaking it. I only have a few questions and i was hoping someone would know:
1) I'm planning on spending 6 months in SE Asia toward the end of this year. I'd like my phone to work there if possible. I'll completely admit that I've not researched this topic enough but my general question is, can I jailbreak my phone and then enable it for use in SE Asia, if so how? 2) Would jailbreaking the phone make it more difficult in some way to enable it for use there?
Unintelligible questions I know and I apologize but I have no idea with where to start for all of it.
My friend lives in a different country and she has an iPhone. I have an ipod touch and wanted to contact her with iMessage. Will it charge for her since she's using an iphone? Or will it not?
I spend 1/2 my time in US and 1/2 in Malaysia. I would like to buy an iphone 4S and use the phone with a local carrier in US and Maxis in Malaysia. Can this be done if I buy a factory unlocked phone?
My lock button and home button is not working very well and I was wondering if the apple care protection I bought covered it. If so do i have to pay a deductable?
I'm traveling to Cuba with a group of friends and family. A number of us have blackberries, none of us have full data plans but rather social networking plans (e.g.. BBM, fb, twitter). I'm wondering if we can talk to each other while all being in Cuba without extra costs. Also keeping in mind about the ability to turn off roaming.
Why Sony is releasing the update by countries? Why Sony do not just release the update globally? Is there some problem like a overloading the servers with updates? I understand that sony is releasing the updade for only few phones at the same time,but the releasing over the countries is not understandable.
provide the list of countries where Android Market comes preloaded on the phone, please the latest list.If a country is not listed in the list, is there any other way to have applications installed
The story so far: I bought an accessory in Nov 2011 at an Apple Retail Store. (Philips dual-dock speaker) It started malfunctioning in Mar 2012. (Dock not charging anymore) I brought it to an Apple Store (closer to my place), they were happy to replace it on the spot, except that there was none in stock. So I was advised to go to an other Store (the original one), where they had stock. So far, so good for service. I went to the other store, but there I was told that they could not replace it because I had bought it more than 14 days before, so I had to contact the manufacturer directly! So my questions are:
- What is, if any, the actual policy on non-Apple product repair & replacement?
- Why don't all store follow the same policy?
- Should I just try my luck again with another person, until I strike gold and get it replaced?
I made a purchase for a black bumper and paid $31.60 but when I go to the Apple.com website to check the status of my refund its shows "There is no record of a refund for the receipt number you entered." I tried entering my receipt number plus last 4 of card and I also tried just entering the full CC number as well and get that response for both.
Just wanting to know if anyone has possibly experienced before, wanted to to see if any Macforum members have had this issue and what was the resolution to your issue? Should I just call Apple? Are they giving refunds in store if you take in your receipt?
