My brother upgrade his phone to and iphone 5, (he had to sign a 18 months contract, so he could buy it for only $199.00) but he asked the seller not to activate the iphone 5 (he gave him the phone in the box sealed) and he gave him another phone (very low price one) with the number of the phone he upgrade. then he pay for the unlock service from a third party, and then he open the box and connected to the itunes, and he got the "congratulation your iphone has been unlocked".


I live outside the US and he is planning to give the iphone 5, so I can use it with another carrier.


FYI: I check the imei and it is not activate, but I the "sim lock status" is unlocked. I hope I would be able used it outside the us even if is not activated.

Olga:


Te recomiendo que desestimes las sugerencias de salvadorean. No solo son cuestionables, son probablemente altamente ilegales. Y al final te daran mas problemas al final. Desfortunadamente tienes que aceptar el hecho que compraste el iPhone equivocado via un vendedor NO autorizado. Sugiero eleves una queja a nivel de Amazon. Hay ciertas protecciones para compradores. Obviamente el vendedor no fue completamente trasparente.


Si no resulta el apelar a Amazon, trata de vender el telefono a alguien que lo pueda usar en los EEUU. Y comprate un telefono que SI puedas usar en VZ.


Por ultimo, el metodo de desbloqueo/hackeo trae consigo dolores de cabeza. El principal es que los sitios que ofrezen "desbloqueo" son unos engaños que prometen un "codigo" de debloqueo (el cual no existe) por una modica suma de $$$. Y si usas los "programas" de hackeo estas tomando un riesgo ya que no siempre el telefono funciona como tiene que funcionar. Ademas tengo entendido que hasta ahora los hackeadores NO han logrado "liberar" el iOS 6 que es cual funciona con el iPhone 5.


Al final, como dicen los de USA: Your choice.
