Mac Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 You have to replace the baseband drivers in later ones - irreversible so you'd instantly lose any warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drinks Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I placed my request to unlock my 4S using O2's online form when I first saw this thread on the 28th.....Anyone like to guess if it's unlocked yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 If you have a locked, out of contract, iPhone kicking around, you need to find out which network it was on, acquire a free / cheap PAYG SIM for said network, then you can get them to unlock it. Whilst they'll charge you for this, it's safe and permanent, unlike a JB unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Interesting. I've got 3 sat here. Get them unlocked now while they're under contract I'll take one of them off you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 They're not. That doesn't include the 4 x 4S's we're actually using. These are 3 of their predecessors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Oh, those ones. No thanks Get the 4Ss unlocked and I'll take one off you :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 One of them is a 4, the other two a 3GS's. There'll be a 4S available in January, another in March and then two more in June/July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Got a 5. It was in a 24 month contract and due to a Co moving away from T Mobile they paid off the contract and gifted out the phones. T Mobile can't find the IMEI number on there list, and because the contract is paid off there no way of talking to them since talking is geared to customers in active service contracts. A stale mate that has been batted around for 6 weeks. Apple see it on there system as contract with T Mobile, T Mobile won't talk. Since my earlier post on the subject it appears that you can pay a 3rd party that amends the Apple IMEI records and places the phone on a white list that makes it free to air any network. Anyone used such a service?j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I did it once with a 3S, £50 and no problems at all. Getting a network to unlock it out of contract is an unbelievably large ballache, not something I'll ever try to do again (having had to do it with 2 previous iPhones). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
