My iPhone 5 has an simlock, well that is what my iPhone and iTunes are telling me. When I give my imei to the provider he tells me that there is no simlock on my telephone.. How can I remove this? Is there a trick? ~I hope that someone can help me .. Thanks
iPhone 5, iOS 9.1
With all of the information on these forums, it's difficult to believe that proper nomenclature is not used. When you post "simlock", are you attempting to articulate that the iPhone is locked, and you cannot use other carrier's network". A few smaller carriers (Tracphone, for example) use a special sim, and those carriers will not unlock the sim. On the other hand, completely unrelated to the sim, only a carrier can unlock an iPhone and allow you to use another carrier's sim.
Carl the iPhone is locked for other providers .. Normally I can see in settings carrier but that is also not available .. I cannot update carrier by myself i think?! In Holland it is KPN for me that is the only one I can use now. But KPN is telling me that they deliver only simlock free telephone and it's not locked in there opinion. What do you think Carl?
Where and at what store did you buy the phone?
The iPhone comes from the KPN store .. That is the provider in Holland .. But the providers are not getting any iPhones who are locked anymore .. Since iPhone 4 they are unlocked .. that is the weird thing
The only place to get an unlocked iPhone out of the box Is from Apple directly. So you must get KPN to authorize and process the unlock for you. As has been stated on this thread: only the carrier can unlock your phone.
Thank you .. I will go back to the store KPN and they have to help me out with this .. Thanks
