February 3rd, 2020

hey so i have the iphone 5, software IOS 6.0.2 and i need to get it unlocked for overseas, so i can use a sim card, is this possible? if so is there instructions?
i dont think i need it jailbroken just unlocked

Answer #1
It’s possible if you pay for it….
Price for unlocking iPhone 5 via IMEI is around 50-200$ depends on network carrier… Also NO, there is no software or hardware unlock for it..
Answer #2
Get in contact with apple, and explain your case to them (maybe make up a sob story) and they may send you the unlock code.
Your carrier has to go an ask apple for it anyways, as far as i know (someone correct me if i’m wrong). That’s usually why the charge applies. Oh that and they’re greedy c*nts
Answer #3
So it’s still not possible to unlock ANY kind of iphone 5 with software ?
Will it EVER be possible?
How about 4S? Is it CURRENTLY unlockable? Not talking if it once USED TO BE because I know they patched that SAM thing.
Answer #4
call your network tell them to unlock it, did for me, it was my misses, or buy a unlock code from ebay �50-100 i think
Answer #5

The network locked on the phone is in the US. (T-Mobile).
Will my local network (outside the US) unlock it for me?

There is NO software unlock for iPhone 5… probably there will never be one… Maybe hardware unlock but not sure about that too…
4S can be unlocked via Gevey Ultra S, you only need to see which BB is supported by it… (google)

They will, if you pay for it… Like I said it’s from 50-200$ depends on network carrier…
Answer #7
Is there still no program for this?!?!?!
Answer #8
Epic bump…And yeah, there is no program…
Answer #9
erm shouldn’t you be able to use the iPhone ANYWHERE in the world without unlocking? Isn’t unlocking just for your country? Like if you live in the UK and you’re on O2 (locked) then you can only use it on that network in the UK but if you take it abroad you SHOULD be able to use it as normal (on a network in that country). I cant really explain it properly but there’s the word Quadband in there somewhere
I kinda need to make sure too, i should be going abroad sometime next year

Nope. you are wrong…
If iPhone is LOCKED then it’s LOCKED to all network carriers… SIM FREE iPhone is unlocked for every single network…
Answer #11
you just need to get a gevey sim or r-sim 6 to unlock it. easy.
