SIM free iPhone?

IOS 5 s iPhone 9.3.2 "Telekom Srbija" (MTS) locked this phone for only usable with their Sims... now the problem is I travel a bit and I have a couple of sim different maps for different country... what I would like to ask is:

(1) is it possible to unlock it without my provider? (They insist on blocked it for 2 years from the date of purchase... and I would deal with another company in the world with them)

(2) if not how to do a sim card full release would you recommend >?

(a factory reset I guess won't work, but perhaps completely reinstall new OS?)

Too many people claim to be able to do, but I really do not trust one of these shady methods. In addition, they cost almost as much as the phone itself.

Thank you in advance.

Only the carrier, that the device is locked can authorize an unlock. You can not release 'no carrier' as you request. You should have bought an unlocked phone. The places that you see that claim to do this for a price come to get your money and your phone hacking. It crashes again the next time that update you.

  • SIM-Free iPhone bought in Dubai, United Arab Emirates UNITED, to aid in the countries of the EU without iMessage and restriction of FaceTime. iMessage WORK PERFECTLY WELL, even on cell phones, but no FaceTime. Please tell me why?

    Hello to all on the Apple community!

    Recently, I bought the iPhone SIM-Free from the shop Duty Free in Dubai World.
    I used my iPhone in Dubai very shortly and I did not have iMessage and FaceTime option on my phone. I know that laws of United Arab Emirates telecommunication UNITED and I know why people out there have this apps.
    But when I arrived in my born country last week I put the new sim card without restriction for iMessage and FaceTime and when I open the Message in the settings, I saw "Power" toggle iMessage and I was surprised that it is possible that. When I pass switches on 'On' for iMessage, who runs BEGIN WORK PERFECTLY FINE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM EVEN on LTE network.

    Please someone who knows this situation to respond to my question: can I activate FaceTime work as iMessage works now on my iPhone?
    Thank you!


    This is because one of the configuration files of the iPhone disables it for iPhones with AB, AE and AH maybe just before the / is their model numbers. If a Middle East SIM card in the iPhone, it can substitute for it, but no SIM card non - Middle Eastern won't. There is no other way to substitute it, or get FaceTime on your iPhone outside the Middle East.

  • How to activate a SIM free iphone 6s plus will detect a sim? I don't want a cell phone or voice

    Apple iPhone 6 s more SIM more memory each option free latest OS and Applecare happened today. I have absolutely no need to voice or cell phone. A; I want to, it's an iPad the smallest size.

  • New iPhone sim-free shows tied to a carrier

    I bought a new, SIM-free iPhone IS when in London last month directly from Apple Store online.  I am now in Turkey and have found settings > general > topic > carrier shows vodafone UK 24.0.  I guess the carrier link is because (I don't have a UK SIM card) when I picked up the phone, an employee of the Apple Store inserted sound SIM in the phone to activate Touch ID.  I was in contact with Apple Support twice and took their advice to restore the phone (2 GB of download).  Their advice was to turn off the phone, connect cable to phone on my MAC, start iTunes and then insert the cable into the phone while pressing the power and home buttons.  Both times, the phone restarts at the end of the restoration process and the carrier still shows vodafone UK 24.0.  Who that it be restored successfully a phone SIM-free, without carrier to its original state?

    Thanks in advance (reposted it with more details)

    You get an error when you insert a SIM card? When you restore with iTunes you get a message in iTunes that says that the phone is unlocked?

  • If I pull the sim card from an iPhone AT & T of full fare is it then Sim-Free?

    I want to buy a sim-free iPhone, but Apple will not have any to the ship for several weeks. The nearest Apple Store has none for local pickup, either. However, the store, have a version of AT & T. If I order an AT & T iPhone OS on the Apple site, pay full price, pick up at the local Apple Store, remove SIM AT & T, I don't can have an iPhone Unlocked sim-free?  I want to use it with Straight Talk. (There is no category iPhone SE for that matter so I picked 6)

    You'll have a SIM-free phone, but not an unlocked phone. There is a difference. A SIM-free phone is delivered without a SIM card, an unlocked phone is one that is able to use any SIM card. If you purchase the AT & T device, you will need to ask AT & T to unlock the device. Devices to specific carriers are locked for carriers.

  • If I purchase online iPhone 6s and choose SIM free, it unlocked? I mean I can use it in an another contry Pentecost another company?

    If I purchase online iPhone 6s and choose SIM free, it unlocked? I mean I can use it in an another contry Pentecost another company?

    It comes directly from Apple:

    The SIM-free iPhone comes without a wireless contract commitment or a carrier funding. It does not come with a nano-SIM for iPhone 6s or 6s iPhone more. And because it is unlocked, it is not bound to support, so you can get a nano-SIM of any supported media around the world, such as AT & T, T-Mobile, Verizon or Sprint to the United States.

    Buy a SIM free iPhone means that you are not eligible for the lower prices iPhone associated with a contract or plan of payment of the carrier.

    If you do not want a contract for several years of service, or if you prefer to use a local carrier when you travel abroad, the iPhone SIM-free is the best choice.

  • Allegedly bought sim-free Apple Store

    Greetings. We bought our daughter, we hope this is a sim free iPhone 6s, directly from the Apple Store in the neighborhood. I tried my best to make sure it was free of sim while there and the guy showed me the box and said "see, there no IMEI number on the box, which means that it is sim free. We paid the full price. When we arrived home, I checked the serial number on the receipt by e-mail against the box and it matched.

    Us wrapped and put under the tree. Now, I noticed on the receipt there is an IMEI number. Is it possible that this phone is not without a sim card? Is there a way to check?

    Thanks for any help.

  • How can I activate sim free new iphone is?

    Buy my first is iphone I just took delivery, but given that I bought unlocked and sim free, it will not be activated. Apple support said that I need a sim card. Like I did, maybe I should have, but I'm here.

    So if I want to use my iphone as an ipod and a camera and for the most part, how can I activate this self iphone so I can use it on my home wireless network?

    I tried iTunes to activate and therefore not supported, but they gave up and said to a sim card.

    What are my cheaper options?

    I so wish apple included a simple line on the ad that says if you buy this se iphone to use as an ipod and buy you it unlocked, you will not be able to activate it.

    Hugh

    Cannot activate iPhone without SIM card period.

  • does not sell iphone sim free 7

    I tried to pre-order iphone 7, but could not find sim free selection.  Cannot even discuss with apple online because they are too busy.  Anyone know what is happening?

    He was never a free sim pre-order option. Apple never does the SIM free option available that more later.

    If you need a free option SIM, you will have to wait.

    Otherwise buy the iPhone for any full carrier price means it is unlocked, you can remove the sim card from carrier, and place your own inside instead.

    I would get the T-Mobile version.

  • Assign the carrier on iPhone sim free

    Hi, I hope someone can help

    DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM:

    I bought iPhone sim free 6s to Wal-Mart in the United States, recently, but planned to use in foreign carriers.

    When you pay at Walmart, asked me what phone carrier will be used on? But since I haven't decided yet which operator / plan will be more suitable for me I asked don't not to define the carrier at that time here.

    Now, I'm in Europe and I have the sim card by specific carrier and when I turned my iPhone and you try to save it on the network, it says INVALID SIM.

    QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE:

    1. is it possible to assign carrier to this iPhone right now - yes or no?

    2. If Yes:

    -who SHOULD do it?

    -What is the cost to do so?

    -What is the procedure to do so (it is only done through the site contact Web retailer, apple or iPhone must be shipped directly to the responsible party)?

    3. If there is not - what to do next? Any ideas?

    Of course, if clarifications are needed (imei, provider, country name), I post...

    Thank you for your support,

    If you tried to put a sim card into your phone and it came with invalid SIM card, it means that your phone is locked to the carrier that you have used previously that you bought the phone and only that carrier can unlock for you.

    When you bought the phone, what carrier sim did you use to activate the phone?  If you bought the phone at Wal-Mart and it was free and not unlocked sim, then it means that the phone freezes to the first carrier sim card that you insert into the phone, which looks like your phone has made.  We need to analyze this carrier to get your phone unlocked.  Only this carrier can unlock the phone.  Nobody else can.
