Can service provider unlock unactivated Iphone 5?

My brother gifted me an iphone5 which he bought from Canada. Since I'm suppose to use it India he didn't get a sim from Koodo his service provider. Now I'm unable to get the phone active without the sim card. I need to unlock my phone to use it in India.

I need to know if the phone is unactivated and in India can the service provider Koodo unlock the iphone5 with the IMEI no. I'm ready to pay the unlock fee, would like to know if it can be done by the service provider over the phone.

Please help…

Your new service provide can't since they are not the ones who sold you the phone they do not have the IMEI #… Koodo may or may not unlock it your have to ask them. Most companies who sell you the phone do not unlock because it is under the carrier so they would not want to help you use a phone from them with another provider IE they lose money. Your going to most likely have to find a independent company who professional unlock phones. Which should not cost no more than $30-$50 depending on the type of phone you want to unlock. After thats done you can use the u.locked phone with any provider rather you have a sim card or not.

  • Will factory unlocking my iPhone break its contract with my service provider? I bought the iPhone 5 for $199.It's on contract, so it's not only locked to AT&T for two years, but I'm required to pay monthly for the use of this phone for two years. I'm interested in buying the factory unlock on ebay, but I want to know if the contract is going to break with AT&T.
  • Will a verizon iphone 4s show that you have service even if unactivated? I have verizon iphone 4s… There's "no service" showing in the top left corner. The iphone does in fact have NO service from verizon because i didn't pay any for it but my question is would the phone have service showing there regardless of if i'm able to use it? Like I want to make sure it's not a hardware issue.
