Help about factory unlocking iphones?
So I recently got an iPhone 4s but I have to get it unlocked and its currently from tmobile I believe. I've gone to the apple store to get it unlocked but they sent me to att and they just gave me a number to call and when I called they gave me a website but the problem is that the phone isn't from att. So I was wondering if there are any websites that ACTUALLY work to unlock the phone so I could take it to metro. I've tried iphonegeeks.us, iut, and others but they either require and offer download or payment but I want/need one that won't give me a bunch of offers and free. Also it would be nice if I didn't have to jailbreak it either so please I begging you someone help me I'm tired of my little flip phone and I want to finally upgrade please and thank you!
You have to unlock the phone through the carrier it is attached to. Since it is a contract phone you will have to pay a fee.
Those 3rd party unlocking services tend to be fake. Not only that but unlocking the phone without approval of the carrier is a 5 year felony.
You can't factory unlock an iPhone. Factory unlocked means it was never locked in the first place.
You can get the phone unlocked. You have to go through the service provider, though- in this case T-Mobile. Apple can't do it, another phone company can't do it. If the phone has been reported lost or stolen or you owe money on the account it is linked to, it can't be unlocked.
- 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.
- Verizon iPhone 5 help! Unlocking? I have an iPhone 5 for Verizon. I was planning in using it in Tmobile. I tried putting a Sim but it doesn't even read it. I know for a fact they are factory unlocked. And yes they will work on Tmobile. But my friend sold me his phone and his service is still there but its not connected. Will restoring the phone through iTunes factory unlock it?
- UNLOCKING IPHONE Help NEEDED? So I recently bought a second hand I Phone 5c. When i got the phone i rest it immediately. Currently I can't get past the setup stage because I don't have a sim. I was wondering, is it still possible to unlock the phone so i can use whatever sim i want in the phone?
