How to tell if my iPhone is unlocked?
I'm trying to unlock my iPhone from T-Mobile to give to my friend who has Verizon. But we had to unlock it first. It wouldn't even start up so I put my original T-Mobile SIM card into it. Well we got the email today to explain how to unlock it. All it said was put in a SIM card and follow the instructions. It did set up with a different service provider but I don't know if it is unlocked. It's an old SIM card and doesn't have service anymore so I can't call with it.
If you can put a different SIM in your iPhone and it picks up the signal of that different SIM card then it is unlocked. It shows the signal in the top left.
Verizon requires a special version of iPhone, so even if you unlock your T-Mobile phone, it won't work with Verizon.
- Will an unlocked iphone 4S work for tmobile if it isn't factory unlocked? I want to get an iPhone 4S and my friend has the iPhone 4 unlocked but i'm worried that if i get it non-factory unlocked it won't work. My uncle tried to do it a couple of months ago and apple said that if it was factory unlocked every time the phone shut off or died it would reset. I was just wondering if the same thing would happen if it wasn't factory unlocked? So if I get it unlocked everytime it will shut off it will reset? That is what i'm worried about.
