Aug 24, 2015 8:33 AM in response to rzxcby sona jee,After a Restore I got this message
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported. The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

Aug 24, 2015 11:35 AM in response to AmishCakeby rzxc,Hi, I read the response to sona jee's post and am wondering how, without being able to get into the phone, the carrier would be able to unlock it? (Aside from emergency calls there is only access to the setup process: choosing language, region, and network, before getting stuck on the 'SIM not valid' message.) Also, my phone was unlocked by the carrier, does this mean they hacked it? (There's no other way this would happen?)

Aug 24, 2015 11:39 AM in response to rzxcby KiltedTim,It was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was locked to. It was hacked. Legitimately unlocked phones do not re-lock.
The unlock process involves the carrier it's locked to communicating specific information about the phone to Apple, where it goes into a database as 'unlocked'.

Aug 24, 2015 11:58 AM in response to KiltedTimby rzxc,So I need to go back to the original carrier and get it unlocked properly. Is there some way to verify it's done right this time?

Aug 24, 2015 12:06 PM in response to rzxcby KiltedTim,Yes. That is what you need to do. Keep in mind that a previously hacked phone may not be able to take a legitimate unlock any more, depending on what damage was done by the original hack.
