How to check what operator iPhone is locked on and unlock instructions - Page 3 - GSM-Forum

PeteRock · 07-04-2010, 11:07

Bit of a weird one purchased a iPhone 32gb 3GS for my girlfriend from 3 and it's the model number MC134B which is an O2 UK phone.

The phone is currently locked to 3 but as it's originally a O2 model can this be unlocked?

Hi there,

I have 5 iPhone 4's some of them are SFR France and some are Orange France, can it be unlocked officially? And how much are the credits for each one, and how much time does it take?

Thanks in advance

AtrixJ · 08-30-2010, 09:01

iPhone4 from Orange France supported for 70 credits, SFR not yet supported.

hello,

I have bought iphone 4 from France. IOS 4.1 fw installed and modem firmware is 02.10.04. Carrier is shown as "Carrier Lab 8.0". Any idea about this carrier ?

And Now I am outside of France, and will not go to France soon.
Is there any possible way to officially (factory) unlock my phone by imei ? and cost ?
Because after unlocking I do not want to fight to unlock again after each relase update from apple.

thanks in advance.

kind regards,

I bought an iPhone 3gs from a friend who bought it from another person in UK. Its locked to O2. And me nor my friend have the official Sim to activate it. And I am outside UK so of course I need it unlocked. Its on 4.1 and baseband 5.14.02. Can you factory unlock it? And for how much?

AtrixJ · 09-29-2010, 18:45

Price is 55 credits for iPhone3 locked on O2 UK operator.

To me all this seems great.
Though I just bought a phone that wasn´t activated. I get the locked screen slider and can´t get passed it. I read this text at the start of this thread

Quote:

In case when u attach with iTunes and it says there is no simcard in the phone , in this case you have to put a SUPPORTED simcard inside the phone and than attach iTunes , once its synchronized after disconnect and put an unsupported simcard in and follow the procedure .

How do I go about getting a simncard toi activate it with? I don´t even know where the phone is bought from the start.

Iphone 3GS
4.1 (8B117)
Carrier: Carrier Lab 8.0
Model: MC131KS

Is there any way for me to find out a way to solve this for me?

oneSIM · 10-01-2010, 14:15

you'll need a oneSIM at first

Swedish · 10-01-2010, 14:49

So first I buy a oneSIM and then I get my phone activated and then and then I get help here to unlock the phone?

This seem to cost a lot.

Can I find out who the Swedish carrier is and then just activate the phon eusinga friends sim-card? or no? So many stupid questions from me. I just feel dumb I bought the phone like this :/

AtrixJ · 10-01-2010, 14:51

If the operator is not supported by allGSMunlock oneSIM won't help you.

Swedish · 10-01-2010, 15:05

And how do I know?

Am I in a situation that can´t be solved here?
Can I find out who the operator is?
