Why did not restoring in itunes unlock my full priced iphone 5 from AT&T?
I've read in a number of places (like here: http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/26/to-unlock-a-full-price-att-iphone-5-just-restore-it-in-itunes/) that the AT&T IPhone 5 is supposed to be unlocked after a restore in iTunes. I recently purchased the IPhone 5 from at&t for 650 dollars an did not sign up for any contract. The phone is still locked to AT&T though. Exited about the news, I tried this, expecting the usual "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked" message from iTunes, but I did not get one… Instead iTunes restored it from a backup of the phone and I was left without the message and a still unlocked phone. (tried putting in a T-Mobile nano sim in there but it did not work) Does anyone know what i did wrong? Why does it work for other people but not me?
Because you don't know what you're doing.
It may of been a flaw in the early release firmware which they patched.
I think everything is ok. But i did not find your problems. You could visit http://buzz2fone.com/ for finding more information on the best technology blogs and latest updates on technology.
- Will restoring my iPhone on my iTunes unlock my forgotten passcode? I put a new passcode on then stupidly forgot it and nkw I can't get in because i'm getting it wrong. I've read to restore it on the computer which I'm doing now but i'm scared it won't work. What do I do if it doesn't? And will it work?
- Where to buy a low priced iPhone 5? I understand nothings going to be really cheap but £200 or under would be preferable. I've checked eBay but can't find any. And i would rather not go on mad bid or anything. Any suggestions? (I don't mind it being second hand, i don't mind it being damaged either).
- Where can I get a reasonably priced iphone? I'd prefer brand new? I'm currently on a contract with Verizon and can't upgrade til February. But was thinking maybe some way to buy a phone compatible on Verizon elsewhere at a cheaper cost than what Verizon gives, then just putting it on my contract. If that is even possible. Would probably want a 5s or 6(all depending if there are no issues with them)
- Where can i get a reasonably priced iPhone 5c/5s? - I live in London(UK) and I would like to buy a new iphone, atm I have a 4s and will sell that to help pay for a 5s/5c but I'm not sure where to buy it from
