How To Unlock IPhone 5s To Use For Different Service Carrier
Jun 19, 2014
I bought a iphone 5s off ebay and it is through a sprint carrier and I had it flashed to straight talk and I got the sim activated for it but its not verifying the sim so im trying to figure out how to unlock so I can use it...
Ok so i updated my iPhone to last OS.. what happend? since the update it wont let me use any SIM card, i went to the carrier and they told me its a "Parameter" problem that happened when i updated it but my iPhone lost warranty.. im going again tomorrow cause its a carrier or hardware problem they told me that on an apple store today and they said that they have to help me with that but in case of getting my solicitacion rejected..
I have an iphone 4 the network is from Mexico but I am currently in the UK, is there any chance to have unlocked so I can install a micro simcard so I can use it overhere in London?
today i tried to contact AT&T for their unlock requirements but I had a strange surprise: My IMEI was not listed in their system. At live chat they told me that my e-mail would be send to Apple to check what is happening, but still nothing happend (don't know if such promise was made or not).I bought this iphone in eBay and it is supposed to be locked to AT&T (saw it on box and model). Is there any e-mail support that Apple would answer? I can't receive/make calls since i am overseas right know to use their call service.
After requesting for a carrier unlock with AT&T, I received their confirmation email and followed the directions. I have been trying to restore my iPhone 3G using the latest iTunes installed on a MacBook with OS X Lion. I have been unable to restore and use my phone. I am stuck at restoring it over and over giving me an error code of 1015.
I want to buy a used iPhone from eBay Australia who was bought in some carrier (like Optues, Telstra etc...) and unlocked by the carrier for the buyer's request.
Carrier unlock is like factory unlock? I will be able to use this iPhone in any GSM network in the world?
I haven an jailbroken iphone 4 unlock in mexico TECEL and everytime i plug it into my macbook it ask me for an update on the carrier or something like that, should i do it? or not? i dont wanna loose my unlock u_u
I bought a 2nd hand Iphone4 and a carrier unlock was submitted to Vodaphone by the previous owner sucessfully. However the phone is still locked and it was well over 7 days since the request was put in. How long do these things take, I was told it would only be 5 days.
I just had my iPhone 4 unlocked by ATT, but how do I test that it is unlocked? The Apple knowledge base article [URL] says that once the iPhone has been unlocked I should get a message in iTunes saying: "Unlock Complete. Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked. To set up and sync this iPhone, click Continue."
I did not get that message, but neither did I get an error message. Since ATT's (possible) unlock I have updated the software to 5.1.1, and done a complete backup and restore. I bought the iPhone used from a friend several months ago, and then created a custom config / profile with Apple iPhone Configuration Utility. This allowed me to use the phone as a Pay As You Go phone on ATT's network, and has worked this way with no problems for the last six months. The phone has not been jailbroken, or unlocked with a third party unlocking tool.
In the next few weeks I will be traveling to the UK where I want to be able to use a local number, but want to make sure that this will work before I travel. How do I test ATT's unlock without a Tmobile micro sim that I dont have?
I have an issue with BB 9100, after transferring users data from a 8100 pearl, I cannot activate with Enterprise Activation. So far I have troubleshooted the following: Tested the SIM card in a known working 9700 Bold - Sim card is working fine - BES service is activated - I was able to configure the users account. After placing SIM card in the BB 9100 - No Blackberry symbol (logo) & registration msg Tried - Register Now - through Host Routing Table - no change Security wiped handheld - no change Upgaded to 9100_9105Asia_PBr6.0.0_rel2474_PL6.6.0.207_A6.0.0.546_Telstra (OS6) Downgraded to: 9100_9105EastAsia_PBr5.0.0_rel1083_PL6.2.0.46_A5.0.0.623_Telstra (OS5) Replaced the SIM card - No change Contacted my service provider - they sent another new handset This is also having the exact same problem, also after transferring the users data from 8100, and repeating all the troubleshooting previously.
I consider myself an advanced technical user. Got a bit of an issue here which even my Carrier is stumped - they're currently suggesting replacing my handset which may resolve the issue but seems a bit extremem to me.Basically, the device was functioning fine up until yesterday when I received a Service Update which I duly carried out (read, delete text, reboot). After that, internet browsing ability ceased. Email however continues albeit much much slower.If I connect on wifi however, I am able to browse although images in aps like Facebook won't load - very strange.I spoke a couple of times with Tech. Support and we've tried resending Service Books, re-registering the Host Routing Table and full reboots. None of that worked.
My hunch is and given the inconsistent nature of of the issue is that the problem lies in the Service Books or HRT somewhere.
I have a strange problem since yesterday. Out of the blue my 9700 (5.0.0.442, free device, Vodafone Germany) can no longer connect to the Internet. The connection to the BIS, however, is still there. It lacks only the right service books. Vodafone said that I should do a software update -> so I installed 5.0.0.536. But the problem persists. The Vodafone-BlackBerry support is then determined that posting the service books hang in a "queue" and can not be delivered. They created a new BIS account for testing, even there the problem exists.My carrier says I have to replace the 9700. But I don't think, that this is a hardware problem. Sounds more like a software problem to me, because some service books still arrive:
Wi-Fi TCP / IP Browser Wi-Fi TCP / IP Transport Save Self VPL D2 WAP 2.0 Wap Push Config Vodafone DE MMS transport Provisioning
Akkupulls, resending service books, wiping and new firmware install brought no improvement. I just despair. Every data connection with no BIS requirement works. (e.g. weather apps)
I 'm running with Koodo Mobile(samsung m540) and my phone just die, i've a 3 years contract , My question is, Can i buy an unlocked phone and just transfere my contract or something like that. I know with sim card you just slide card for cell to cell and that its. But is there a way With cdma PHone ?
I telephone T-Mobile today and requested the Carrier Subsidy Unlock Code for our Motorola Defy. They said that they would have it to me in 24 hours! Has anybody ever actually had that quick of a turnaround time on a T-Mobile Carrier Subsidy Unlock Code request?
So AT&T finally got my iphone 4 unlocked. I've restored it (and updated the iOS to 5.1.1 in the process) and recieved the "congrats! your Iphone is unlocked" message.
However, when I insert my local carrier's sim, I get not signal. I tried it with two diffrent sim either.. My modem firmware is 04.12.01.
recently got moved to kuwait and wanted to keep using my blackberry storm 2. so i got the unlock code and unlocked it. after that i got a pre-paid SIM and phone and sms works great, connected to 3g and everything but anytime i try to use something that requires internet it says i need a wifi connection to do that. when i got the pre-paid the guy at the phone shop said it would work with blackberry internet and email. is there a setting i'm missing?
Now I have an unlocked 9700 AT&T. I am just wondering, if I am going overseas and want to use 9700 with the overseas prepaid BB service and prepaid SIM card, how do I configure my phone so I can get all functionality (BBM, emails, etc)?Right now I have an unlocked overseas 8520 that I am trying to use with AT&T service and I am having problem using AT&T BB service with 8520.
I've done everything I know to do (reset network settings, hard reset, software update, restore to factory default, replace sim card) still have not fully resolved the issue. It seems to work periodically at random, but only has 1 or 2 bars where I should normally have full service.
Recently, my iPhone has been having some service issue and it is not AT&T's problem. At home for example I always used to have 5 bars, but now the service will show no service and then 10 minutes it will show up all 5 bars then soon no service. This happens to me in many places.
I love my iphone 3GS but I had to switch carriers, I paid $129.99 a month for unlimited min,data,text,picture,gps on my iphone and I cant believe Sprint have that and includes sprint tv also just for $69.99 a month.
I wish I could have a cdma iphone for sprint.
I hope Sprint and Apple work something out, because verizon sucks.
