Unlocking Telenor Sweden PLEASE!!

So,

• I just unlocked my iphone 5 with my UK credit card, it doesn't seem to matter on the website.
• the information dated 2014 relates to mobile wifi hotspots.

Listen I admit this may not be a problem that often occurs, the original topic is regarding an iphone 5 which is locked to Telenor and outside of Sweden. Allot of iphone 5's from Scandinavia are sold second hand in Europe, especially as more contracts come to an end or people wish to buy newer phones. If they no longer lock iphones then no one will have this problem or search for it therefore they would never click the link to find out that they don't lock iphones.

But if and in the case someone form Europe has this problem all I did is post the solution on the apple website.

There is no need to point out any other information as it is not relevant to this discussion topic. I do not understand why it is such a problem to respond with a solution of a problem which still occurs despite the low probability of it reoccurring?

I didn't come here to show off my knowledge of Apple, Telenor or Sweden. I had a problem researched it, found the solution and thought I may as well share this in case.

Can't you just say thanks for the solution however late it is?

Considering that this is a 3-year old thread, it is very possible. Even the website you provided mentions things before 1 May 2014, which is after this thread was started. Check dates before responding to threads, as time can change.

Why, I came here fist to find no helpful information and then had to VPN into Sweden to find the answer I was looking for. Is this not how the community help? Is it not the whole point of this discussion board to share information considering this is obviously still a problem that is occurring? Hence why I tried to assist others only to be trolled...

Correct, replying to the only community topic regarding an ongoing problem which advises a negative solution until my post advising the solution, is not trolling. However, what your doing now is defined as trolling. This problem is obviously still occurring, I posted a response to ensure anyone who believes the apple community still works has a solution should this reoccur. Now please stop trolling me.

You might want to add then, from the very link you provided, that the OP would need a Swedish debit card to pay the unlocking fee for devices purchased with Telenor prior to 2014 (that appears to be the sole payment method telenor accepts for unlocking older devices). Given that they lived in Greece at the time of the original post, your link may well not be very helpful.

And anybody with an iPhone 5s or newer will never need that link, since telenor no longer locks iPhones (according to your linked site).

The only way to unlock an iPhone is via the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked

any offers for unlocking are scams

If it is locked to Telenor ,then only they can genuinely unlock it from their network

but Telenor Sweden do not offer unlocking ,it is their choice whether to or not they do not

You don't

Try Telenor but they are listed as NOT offering unlocking .

unless you can get your money back it is probably an iBrick

Apple does not unlock phones. Only the carriers do. You have wasted money on "shops" and "famous unlocking sites" which take your money. You have been scammed.

Telenor will not unlock that phone because they do not offer unlocking in any case. If you bought the phone from your friend, return it for a refund. If not and he will not refund your money, you are stuck with a brick.

No one here can help you with your dilema.

Carrer unlock help imei **** thanks

Of course you can unlock your phone! Maybe times have changed, I hope you have auto translate on:

Obviously, hence the words maybe times have changed. Please check the context before responding to threads, as people post links in order to help others who may have the same problem.

Please check the age of the posts you reply to.

Replying to long dead inquiries is not trolling?
