I bought an iPhone 5 for about 1 month that every website I check for unlocked status, it says that "iPhone Unlocked" but the problem is that it indicates "this iPhone was bought from the AT&T Carrier" and its from "Puerto Rico". And it is also compatible with other Sim Cards beside my own carier.
Is there any chance of possibilities that I might face an error or problem in the next few months that cause to getting locked again !
iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.2
Unless it was purchased from Apple as unlocked, then it was likely hacked, not officially unlocked. When you try to update the iOS it will then just re-lock right back to the original carrier it was sold as locked to.
I also would not trust any online site to tell you it is unlocked - to my knowledge, there is no such truly reliable web site, as the only ones with databases of officially unlocked phones are Apple, and they do not make that data publicly searchable.
It is not Hacked or jailbroken, the problem is about being locked or unlocked !
it is on iOS 6.0.2 and certainly there is no jailbreak for it yet i think I wont look for it, I buy applications originaly !
If it was purchased directly from Apple (or an official Apple authorized agent) as unlocked, then it will always be unlocked.
It will only re-lock to the original carrier if it was in some way hacked or unofficially unlocked.
If it was purchased form AT&T in Puerto Rico, then it is locked to AT&T, and only AT&T can/could unlock it. So if you bought it from AT&T and you did not request an unlock from AT&T, then no, it is not officially unlocked.
Simply question - where, exactly did you buy it? Was it from AT&T in Puerto Rico? Was it from the Apple Store?
If the iPhone was originally purchased in PR, the warranty will only be valid in PR.
