My Iphone is locked to 3.ie network I contacted their customer service several times about my iPhone unlock. However every time they reply saying that only original owner of my iPhone can unlock it by contacting them. I'm not original owner of my iPhone and I have no idea who is :-( I'm hopeless please help.
iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3
Tthen there is no other way to unlock the phone.. Sell the phone and buy one another to use with the carrier you want.
You are restricted by the policies of the carrier to which it's locked. Only they can unlock the phone. If they refuse, SOL. That's the downside of buying a secondhand phone of unknown origin.
In other words: "Penny wise, pound foolish."
To legitimately unlock an iPhone you do it by contacting the carrier it is locked to and ask if thy can unlock as you did. In your case you aren't able to do this as explained so you will need to use a 3 sim unless you were to find out who the original owner is and get them to contact 3 for you.
Any other method of unlocking is classed as hacking and is not supported by Apple or these forums sorry.
I'm 3 customer for two years now, I'm using their SIM card however still no joy:-( is there anything else I could do ?
If you are a 3.ie customer and have a phone locked to 3 in Ireland it shouldn't have to be unlocked. Is there something you haven't told us?
Hi there,
I just genialny want to charge operator without changing my phone thats all. There is nothing to tell :-)
If 3 refuses to unlock the phone there is no legitimate and safe way to unlock it.
How can I unlock my iphone when I'm not an original owner of my iphone?
