iPhone IMEI Unlock Sites

Yeah I've seen that one but at 75$ I find it a bit expensive

It's not as cheap as some, but if no one else can do it cheaper it is far better than a Gevey or alternative SIM and they appear to be your options.

Why do you want to unlock? Is it to use a cheaper carrier? Work out how long it will take to save $75 it can put it in perspective.
 
It's cause the other day I restored my iPhone and my phone got locked with AT&T somehow..

I brought it to apple and the rep told me that when we switched my iPhone 5 ..that they made a mistake with the serial number or imei number and my phone was locked with AT&T

It was working fine since December and when I chose to do the restore a few days ago .. It got locked

Appel did what he called a escalation or something and now it's fixed

I just want to make sure it doesn't happen again

That's why I want to unlock it
 
Apple locked it back with my service provider (bell)

----------

Just a question..

You know when your phone is at the setup screen when is the very first time you turn it on ( select which country,language etc.)

When my phone was locked to AT&T it said "this sim is not compatible with this phone"

Can I unlock my phone even tho I'm stuck at the setup screen cause I have an invalid sim?
 
Hi, just read all the answers of this post, but still i'm not sure what to choose...
I have a iphone 4 with ios 6.1 and baseband 04.12.05. I believe it's locked to O2 from UK. Just checked a couple of sites of factory unlock with IMEI but everything is too expensive, they ask for more than 60$.
Do you have anyone on ebay or skype that you trust and tried that i can use for like 20$ top?

Apple will not unlock your iPhone. That's not what they do. Only the carrier will unlock your phone or you can purchase an IMEI unlock.

You fail to grasp how a carrier unlock works.
The carrier tells Apple who put the device on their whitelist. It is Apple that hold this whitelist and do the unlocking.

You are Correct, but his point also stands.
If the carrier doesnt submit the request to Apple for a particular iphone that is locked to them to be unlocked then Apple will never unlock it even if a customer tells them to.
 
I never suggested they would. Only your carrier or one of the grey market I lockers can get you on Apple's whitelist and that is the only way to unlock apart from UltraSn0w.

That's a tough one to find for @ USD$20. Right now, I see that our supplier does it for USD$40 (2-3 day turn around). We haven't listed it on our site because it wasn't a big request. But you have to be sure that it's locked to O2/UK though.
 
UnlockFusion

I put in my request with UnlockFusion and paid via Paypal yesterday. Today it says it is "Complete" under their tracking but I have not received any email from them yet and restoring it in iTunes does not unlock it.

Should I start getting worried? :eek:

Keep us posted..i might do the same if it works
 
Nope, that's not the real unlock fusion that we all used on ebay.
His site is swiftunlocks.com now that he doesnt do iphone unlocks on ebay.
Not sure about this character but whoever tries to take advantage of someone elses good reputation is questionable to me;)
