Unlocking License Purchase.

Good afternoon,


Kindly i am requesting an assistance to unlock my phone which my friend was trying to recover and I got the attached message, the card inserted is invalid. Some of my friends told me that i can purchase a license from Apple and unlock my iPhone directly from Applestore. I was searching for this but unfortunatly i could't find it. i got many websites requesting some information and credit cards to unlock my iPhone, but i prefer to buy and use my Credit Card only from apple store as i am buying many apps from my account which i logged in now.


Appreciate your help to unlock my iphone. Kindly contact me back if i my problem can be solved.


Thanks in advance for your collaboration.


Thanks and Regards,

Your friends are in error. That is why you didn not find anything on Apple's website about an "unlock license". It does not exist.


Apple does not and will not unlock iPhones. Only the carrier that was tied to the iPhone can do that. Contact the original carrier to unlock you phone.


The websites offering "unlocks" are:


1). Most likely scams

2). Offer methods to unlock/hack the phones that are not supported by Apple which might brick your iPhone rendering it useless.
