Requesting Details About Unlocking.

Hello,

I have an iPhone that is locked on Telenor which is a Swedish carrier.

As far as I know, is after the expiration of the contract, they should unlock the device for free.


I have contacted them, they told me it's possible to unlock it, but for 350 KR , which is almost 50$.


So, is that true? I mean should I proceed with them and pay?


I know 50$ is not that much to worry about, it's only I have to do a lot of procedures to pay them, so if it's fake or something, then I don't want to get into those stuff, specially when they require only a Sweden Credit Card.


Thank you & sorry for making it long.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

The locking of an iPhone by a carrier is normal They lock every iPhone they sell just about everywhere in the world

The decision to unlock or otherwise and the terms they apply to that decision are completely the carriers decision .

There are sites world wide that offers to unlock the iPhone


they are either straight fakes or they will hack your iPhone to release the lawfully placed carrier lock

If you want to use another carrier then you have no choice

and this is how the process works
