How come my iphone 5 became locked to the first sim i put in?

How come my iphone 5 became locked to the first sim i put in? Purchased from the apple store in canada i put a fido sim card in and it became locked to it and does not read any other sims? I thought when you buy iphones from apple store they are unlocked to all companies and carriers?

You mey find your answer here. It works for all versions of Iphone…

In the UK it is the same

The only reason I can think of is that a 'batch' scheduled for a NON Apple store got delivered to Apple.

Even though you can get it exchanged, off the top of my head will the store know what is an UNLOCKED phone, from a locked first simcard iPhone

  • When switching my sim to an iphone do I have to wait for the sim to shut off first? I'm transferring my number from a normal sim to a micro sim for my new iphone. I did what they told me to do in the shop and now i'm to wait for my original sim to lose signal before i can put the new one into the iphone. Is it okay for me to go ahead and do that before the original sim loses signal or do I have to wait?
  • My iphone became slow aftre upgrading the IOS version? I have a 4s iphone i just upgraded from ios 6 to 6.1.1, but it became too slow i can't write as fast as before and can't zoom in and out photos fastly. Any recommendations?
  • My iPhone 5 home button has recently became crunchy? Every time I press it, I feel an off putting crunch. I have apple care, does anyone think they will cover this? I just don't want to go in for something that seems like such a small issue. However, I did purchase AppleCare for a reason. What should I do?
  • My iPhone 5 battery became 58% after 7 hours Help! It was 100% just now! I did not use iCloud and my brightness is low. It used to last at least one day or two! For the first time it drains. When I was using my phone at 100%, about 1 min or less, it became 99% but now it became about 3-4 mins per 1% less. Help me! It was great when I bought it. I bought it on December 2012.
