Is Iphone 4s from factory unlocked?

I just bought one from the Shanghai Apple store. I just put a China Mobile Sim card in it. Does it come with YouTube? And if not, how do you get it back when you take it to the USA

You will need to get it unlocked to use for your USA cell phone company. You will need to either purchase the unlock or get it from a friend.

I would recommend http://iPhoneunlockshop.com as I have actually used them to unlock my phone when I went overseas.

It is not factory unlocked, only the service can unlock it so ignore the 1st answer.

Like other countries, iphone from china has also 2 versions, so you need to contact the support to consult which version your phone is, and unlocked one usually more expensive than locked one.

I saw you want to buy items from China, i can suggest the biggest China online market, www.taobao.com and also you can buy almost everything from there.

search in taobao.com, then place an order in www.taobaoenglish.com, if any questions, you can leave us message in website, we will reply u As soon as possible.

  • Will the factory unlocked iphone 4 work with any carriers? I want to take this phone to a different country. If i get a sim card there, will the iphone 4 still work if it has been factory unlocked?
  • 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.
  • Why factory unlocked iphone 4s is showing that the iphone is not activated? I bought factory unlocked iphone 4s on ebay for my sister-in-law who is in europe. And the seller assured that it is factory unlocked and will work perfectly. I have non activated sprint sim card and when i inserted it in to the iphone it showed that "the iphone is not activated.contact the carrier". What does it mean? Does it mean that the phone is not factory unlocked?
  • Verizon's iphone 5 or factory unlocked iphone 5? Verizon gives iphone 5 at 199$ and the factory unlocked iphone 5 costs 649 $. the verizon's iphone is already unlocked too. so, why should anyone by an iphone for 649$ when its available for much cheaper rate as 199$?
