How to factory unlock an iPhone 5 for free myself?

I would like to know how you go about factory unlocking an iPhone 5. Not any specific carrier iPhone 5, just how do these companies that charge to do it actually do it? I would like to be able to learn how to unlock all models of iPhones myself. I do not want to use an unlocking service who charges me per phone, but I want to be able to factory unlock the phones. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you purchased your iPhone 5 at full price then it is only locked in your country and when you go abroad it is unlocked and you can use any SIM card of a local carrier. To get your iPhone unlocked in your country (so you can use it with any provider), you need to contact your carrier and ask the customer service to have it unlocked. If you have a contract phone purchased at a discount, your carrier will not unlock it until your contract is fulfilled.

Now, there are legit services that factory unlock iPhone for a fee. They have people at each carrier in customer service who simply "expedite" the unlocking process. This is what they charge for - the facilitation fee. You may wish to visit the site below for more information about this process.

No, You can't Factory Unlock iPhone yourself without using any service. There are many reseller who provide this service at low price. You can contact them for it.

Well, it's not possible to factory unlock for free in most cases. You can read more about iPhone factory unlocking here: https://www.fastgsm.com/en/page/how-to-unlock-iphone

Sir, I strongly advise against unlocking yourself since you can brick the phone very easily (render it unusable)

I recommend iphoneofficial.com - really trustworthy, and they will get you an OFFICIAL unlock, putting your IMEI in Apple's database. Check them out.

No way mate. You can only buy this services to unlock.cause unlocking iphone need connect to apple server to active unlocked status. So the phone not get locked after update

Most of the time it is not free, but sometimes the provider will do it if you are out of contract. If not, and you have an ATT locked iPhone, a great place with great reviews is www.iPhoneUnlockedCheap.com They are quick and 100% guaranteed (unlike some of the ebay sellers). Prices are great too, I used IPULC12 coupon code to get $2 off

ANyone can unlock any phone for any provider. The question is the phone we bought is in fact belonging to us. So, the company that we decided to use or linked to a device uses this as business leverage. It is our device we should be able to do this of our own free choice… So who really owns the device?

  • If I unlock my iphone myself, will it be the same as the factory unlocked iphone 4? Just a question, I'm thinking about unlocking my iphone 4. I don't want to buy the factory unlocked iphone 4's so I think I will just do it myself. After I unlock it, will it become and act the same way as the unlocked iphones you can buy from Apple? Also, what is the quickest way to unlock it?
  • How to unlock a Sprint iPhone with the factory unlock code? So i'll be calling Sprint in a couple days to get the factory unlock code for my iPhone 4S once i'm donw with my contract, so what do i do next with that code to factory unlock the phone? And eventhough it's unlocked could it still only be used with Sprint or Verizon (since it's a CDMA phone) or can it now be used with networks like AT&T or tMobile?
  • How do I encourage myself and make myself thankful for what I have? I admit I take much for granted, I complain because one thing goes wrong or be sad because I don't have the newest iPhone. To me it feels bad being the middle/lower class student in the rich kid high school. However I try very hard to tell myself I should be more grateful and some people don't have anything, I have a warm bed and roof over my head. But yet I always seem to fall back into a state of wanting. How can I change, so I can increase my happiness?
