Help me unlock iPhone 4 - GSM-Forum

r9800pro · 08-15-2011, 02:33

First I would like to say hi to all of you

Then my request for help

A friend of mine got me an iPhone 4 16GB from someone he knows and it seems to be locked, I've put my MicroSim in it but it doesn't show any network

It has iOS 4.3.3 (8J2)

Model : MC603FD

Modem Firmware (BaseBand) : 04.10.01

I don't know which carrier it is locked to and don't even know the country (I live in Egypt and the man that my friend got it from bought it from a tourist )

I want to know step by step how can it be unlocked

By the way, I had a BB Storm before and in this great forum I got an unlocking code for the IMEI number, will it be the same easy way with iPhone 4 ?

Thanks in advance

You can Use Gevey Sim To unlock your Iphone 4.....

Yes you need to either purchase gevey sim (cheapest option) or get it factory unlocked.

Factory unlock will cost more depending on original network. A reliable supplier website is at gsmfast.org you can check that out and even check network only first if you need.

I would like a factory Unlock but I don't know the country or carrier it is locked to

Gevey SIMs are available here in Egypt (I've heard that) but how is it compared to Factory Unlock + Jailbreak ? I like it to be simple not complicated, just like the BlackBerry unlocking went with me (being able to update software and such)

For factory unlock you need to submit IMEI and payment. When confirmation that unlock is done, you need to connect to iTunes with wrong sim card and the screen will display that "Your iPhone has been unlocked".

Please view attachment. There is NO unlock code or anything to mess about. Very simple.

IMEI and payment are easy (but we don't have Paypal here so it must be via credit card directly or Moneybookers) The problem is that they will ask for Country and Carrier for the locked iPhone and that info is unknown to me

I found this site :

iPhone Unlock Service- 1 Click, 15 min Unlock iPhone 4 /3GS/3G/2G Unlock iPhone 4 4.3.5 - Jailbreak iPhone 4 4.3.5 - Unlock iPhone 3GS 4.3.5 - Jailbreak iPhone 3GS 4.3.5

Is it legit ? 19.95$ seems cheap to me

Dont waste your money

The problem is I am not 100% sure that the phone is locked !

I've read that locked iPhones would give : "Invalid Sim" or "Sim Not Supported" but my phone gives me one network bar and then "No Service", it even reads the ICCID of the Sim

Is there any method to be 100% sure it is locked or unlocked ?

r9800pro · 08-16-2011, 01:22

I checked in my city and they said Gevey Sim unlocking (or something similar to Gevey) will cost 350 LE (60$) and full "Official" Unlocking will cost 750 LE (126$)

So, which one to choose ?

The Gevey Sim method seems way overpriced here while the "Official" unlocking seems very fishy to me
