I recently bought an iPhone 3GS from a UK seller. However, he lied about it not being locked to any carrier. I assume it's locked to orange, as that's what the "Service"-bar indicates in his pictures, so I wondered what's the cheapest way to permanently unlock it from abroad? (I'm in Denmark)
View 4 RepliesI've recently moved from Orange to O2 and my iPhone 3GS doesn't recognise the new O2 SIM card. Orange told me that they would send me an unlock code from Apple a month ago. Talked to Orange today and they say I need to get it from O2 but O2 say that's not the case.

My contract with Orange is up so I phoned to get a PUC code and bought a sim only Tesco Mobile Contract. Put in the Tesco sim, mmm doesn't work but thought I had an already unlocked phone. Phoned Orange, yes they will charge me £20 approx to unlock it, will send the request to Apple and shoudl take up tp 20 days. Heard nothing from them so called them back 22 days later - the reply I got was they contacted Apple who have refused to unlock the phone as it is an unregistered device - ie not a paired device? They told me Apple have declined to unlock it as it is considered to be a non paired device. Orange have told me to speak to Apple and as I had given Orange permission to send the request on my behalf. Orange said when I bought it brand new it should of come with a sim - I said no it shouldn't cause I bought a brand new unlocked (or so I thought) phone. So now what do I do - do I phone Apple and pay the £25 incident charge and they will unlock it or if I pay it and they don't unlock it I loose £25 or do I go back to Orange and chase them again. The reason I bought it not direct from Orange as I broke my old phone while still in a years contract with orange and they would not let me upgrade and pay the difference for an iPhone, they told me they would repair my phone (which I told them would not be cost effective as I dropped it in the sea while canoeing!) hence why I bought a new phone - it is registered and have had no problems with it.

You get a new number.Is there a method of doing such a thing?Or is it a scam?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is not the same problem as the earlier post today from the guy getting this message in error. I have a car hook-up that uses the dock connector into my CD changer and it works just great. It was originally for an older iPod so it doesn't charge my iPhone 3Gs but I'm OK with that.
Every time I plug in however I get "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone". I know it's not made to work with iPhone, I understand what it's telling me and I'm happy with that - is there some way to permanently dismiss this message?

I don't know whether it is software problem or hardware. I have tried the repair operation also. my xperia neo is uptodate and running 2.3.4 os.I also tried to un install apps but I couldn't find any difference.Also once I unlock, those 5 screens, I can scroll inbetween and can touch home button. But when I long press on the screen to add widget/folder I am unable to do it as soon as I unlock phone. It is taking some time to respond.
As I purchased this phone in UK and using it in India, I am not sure how much service I can get in india from SE.I have bill for the mobile too.in other posts somebody told me to remove yahoo and i did the same but didn't find any difference.in short the touch scence is not responsive during unlock and for a while once get the home screen. I also installed andvance task killer app and killing apps frequently that also not making any help.

Did anyone else here buy the iPhone 4 on an Orange contract?I have the Your Orange app and there was an update for it this morning, and it now shows your data usage since your last bill. However, in my settings it says I have used 23.5mb + 168mb, and in the Your Orange app it says I have used 305mb! Quite a big difference

I have an iPhone 3G which I unlocked a year ago. Last night I decided to update to ios 4.0.2, then it got locked and I could not use it. Luckily I had a sim from the service provider who i bought it from which enabled me to turn on the phone. I used guidelines from the net and downloaded redsn0w and then os 4.0 which enabled me to open the redsnow finally and of course connected my iphone to my book pro. i went over all the steps and thought I am done after saw the Cydia icon on my iphone (which disappeared during the update)..the only weird thing is that the cydia icon was white not dark red as usual. then i tried opening cydia and follow the step to go to manage etc and enter the famous URL... the result was i got did not find repository and also later i found out that i cannot see my phone icon on the iphone...
