You are NOT talking directly to Apple support here. This is a user to user forum and we are all only users like yourself.

Also, problems with unlocking your iPhone have nothing to do with Apple support anyway, it is your phone company that you need to be speaking to.

If you have had a contract with Globe Telecom, then you need to take your phone back to them and they are the only ones who can officially unlock your phone for you. They should do it, but you might have to pay for it.

If they won't, then your only other option is to renew your contract with Globe Telecom and you will still be able to use your iPhone 4 abroad, but you'll just need to use the internation roaming feature instead whilst in another country.

I thought is like that. No unlocking solution here in the Philippines. I'm stock in this carrier (globe) . This is to bad for me. Hm. I think I need to buy a new phone, a ordinary phone. By the way you help me a lot, now I know im only dreaming for a unlocking solution for my carrier. I thought apple can help me about this issue. My phone is just a toy now, like psp. My toy is kinda expensive ha :-P . @Ethmoid how about gMate? It can be a helpful device? Instead for a new phone? thank you for a response by the way.

Okay, but if you want Apple to helpy you with the one, then you'll need to contact them directly and not post here.
