iphone 4s unlocked working in india

Then just pick it up now. The more you delay it the more time it will take for delivery. I am pulling it really close. So i am just hoping it will get delivered before the 7th. The apple website says "processing items". I will let you know when it says shipping.

hmmm! thanks for the suggestion.

yea..in india its hot.
but its locked.

its been a month now and 'm not able to use it.

some r saying u wil not able to unlock it.. some r saying after a month u will.

'm a bit confused.

Whats the price of locked iphone 4s in U.S? any idea?

ohh!
thanks siddarth... will try that

i used vodafone sim.. it displayed a msg that sim not supported.

is there a way to confirm that its a factory unlocked or not?

Locked phone 16gb costs about 199$! There is a way of telling by the model number. But you should know what model numbers belong to the locked version. They usually begin with the same characters and differ from carrier to carrier.

Hey Rocky,

I just called up apple customer care in USA. After talking to an automated machine for a while i was connected to an apple executive who was very helpful and she prioritized my shipping to something called "guaranteed next business day". Costs about 16 Dollars more. So now the website says Delivery between December 2nd to December 9th. It earlier said Between 7th and 14th. Anyway i hope i get it on time i.e before my relatives leave. Then i will unpack it and may be take a video and put it on youtube 😝

Next business day once its shipped.

Are you guys sure that the unlocked phone from US will work fine in India??Is there anyone who did that before, i mean who shipped and is using in india?

guys!!

can u please tell me how to find its factory unlocked or locked to at&t?

If you are getting an error that says the SIM is not supported, the phone is carrier locked. As you've already been told. Sell it, give it away, or use it for a paperweight. It can NOT be unlocked.

@harry,

It is interesting to see that still most of the people,whoever is interested on iPhone (in India) have a vague idea on iPhone,its price, contract etc. I have been hearing from my friends and family that..”ohyou are in Canada,so iPhone would be cheap there...” Not to blame, but just to let you know myexperience on this…

First about unlock: there is no way att will unlock yourphone for you. We cannot even think about that (official unlock) from India. The veryvery minimal chance is that, you are an att customer and had been in theircontract for 1 to 2 yrs and you said them that you are going back to India socan you pls unlock it for me,

there is a very minimal chance they will do it for you (butvery very less chance that they will do...I haven't heared that they did it forsomeone.)

So, you need to unlock unofficially. Currently hackers couldnot get into a 4s unlock and 4 unlock is available only for a specific modemfirmware. But we are expecting 4s unlock very soon (as per hackingteam)..that's why I asked you to wait. Email me (get my email address from myprofile) I can help you with that...or I told you google it..(be warned, don’tgive your iPhone to any petty mobile shop guy(s), they may screw it up. Unlock usuallycan be done yourself once it is available)

@siddarth You cannot buy a contract phone ($199 one) in USfrom India.It requires you to provide lot of your personal information like SSN no.,credit history, local address etc and importantly you need a US credit card.And some of your friend or family in US can get one by giving all thesedetails, but they need to pay a monthly fee around 45-50 $ th till the completion of contract (2 yrs). Ifthey break the contract they have to pay back almost same price of an unlockedphone around $400 + to the company and will get a locked phone. So why thishassle, get a fully unlocked one ($600 +). By seeing $199 price people willthink it is cheaper in US or Canada,but this is the fact, if you break, pay almost full amount back to the company.If you don't do that, they can sue you legally.

If you order online at apple.com for an unlocked iPhone fromIndia,they may ship it by guaranteed next day and all, but you will face problem atIndian customs. You have to pay an hefty customs duty and vat at India (comesaround 14-15%) and then it will cost almost same or more than what currentlyAircel and Airtel charging you (Rs.44500) then why all these hassles, get onefrom Aircel/Airtel...it is unlocked one too (as per my understanding, but checkwith them.) and you will get warranty. However I see you did order online letme know what you faced from Indiacustoms; I am also interested for that.

Harry got it from his friend and he is from US. So if hepaid 35K also, doesn't mean it is fully unlocked, he can check with his friendonly.

Visit apple.com for the iPhone prices, instead of asking inthe forum.

@siddarth hi, i didn't read your other post...so you are getting trhough your relative...that is good..so no need to face any customs problem. I was thinking how did you order at apple.com by giving Indian address...

anyway..enjoy your 4s... :-)

@jackdanniel

unlcoked phones will work anywhere in the world (provided the GSM frequency available in the country will support iphone's modem, usually it will support most of the countries including India.) so the simple answer is - yes it will work in India, if it is unlocked.
