How to unlock an iphone 4s which has been reset?
I have just bought a 4s from a friend. I reset the phone for a fresh start and, while going through the setup process, the phone doesn't recognise the sim. The original owner is going to get an unlock code from the old carrier (3) but without a 3 sim to put into the phone, how can I get through the setup process and unlock it?
I don't have access to my friend's old sim BTW.
You can't.
You don't need a sim from the original network (3 in this case) to unlock the phone. You need a sim that works on any other network, eg Vodafone, Orange, etc to do it. The sim needs to be the correct size for the 4s (a micro-sim). Get the unlock code from your friend when she gets it from 3, and put in the new sim. The phone will ask for an unlock code/subsidy key or something like that. Enter the code your friend gives you, and the phone will run the process to get unlocked. Once this is done, the phone will be unlocked to work on all networks, including the original network, the network whose sim you used, and any other network you may like to use it on.
3 will charge your friend a fee of £15.32 to unlock the iPhone, and the iPhone will need to be on IOS 5 or higher, to be able to be unlocked. The information you need is at the link below:

- My iPhone 6s has no phone case and I've dropped it several times but there has never been any damage The screen hasn't cracked and it still works like new and the phone is as old as when the first iPhone 6s came out. But it's just funny because i Never have a case on it and it's fallen, maybe only 3 feet at most onto wood floors and nothing has happened yet. Anyone else relate?
- How to unlock an iPhone 3GS that has been reset to factory settings? My friend gave me her old iPhone 3GS. I reset it to the factory settings and was planning on taking it in to Tmobile to have it hooked up. My problem is i can't get in to any settings or anything now since it was restored. The only thing on the screen is the unlock slider and once you do that it just says emergency call and the little i symbol with the IMEI number. Can I unlock it from here somehow so I can use it?
- Has anybody been able to unlock a Sprint iPhone 4s in India? If so then how. I have a new iphone 4s locked into sprint. Its on ios 6.01 so there's no jailbreak, they can't do a factory unlock as its reported stolen/lost. If anyone has any ideas how to unlock this please let me know. Also as a suggestion, don't buy bad esn iphones from ebay
