Unlocking iPhone means you can use your iPhone with a different carrier. In the US, UK or Australia, unlocking is sometimes referred to as contract-free or SIM-Free phone. The easiest way to unlock an iPhone is to go through your carrier. Once your carrier unlocked your iPhone, you can back up and restore your iPhone to unlock it immediately. Often, you can only request an unlock from your carrier when your are not tied up to any contract. In other words, you have to meet the requirements to unlock your iPhone. This usually doesn’t happen to people who have just bought an iPhone through a carrier network with monthly installment or people who don’t pay the full price for their iPhone. There are, however, a few third party methods to unlock an iPhone.

1. I used it on an iPhone 8+ - the SIM card now connects to 'a network' but with no name and data doesn't 'flow' I suspect you would need to copy the files from an exact same phone or exact same network (for the iCloud bypassed phone) to get anything to work properly.
2. With the R-SIM and new SIM plugged into your iPhone, open the 'Phone' app, then tap the 'Keypad' tab to open the dialer. If you get transferred to the activation screen, either do a long-press on the Side button (iPhone X) or quickly press on the Home button three times (iPhone 8 and below), then select 'Emergency Call' to get into the dialer app.

The best way to unlock an iPhone is with Ultrasnow Unlock software from Cydia. Unfortunately, Ultrasnow (Ultrasn0w) works only on iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. It doesn’t work on the latest iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S or iPhone 5C. At most times, websites that offer you a service to unlock your iPhone are usually scam.

Is your iPhone locked to a specific carrier? This means that, unless you unlock it, you cannot use it with any other carrier. And that is quite limiting. Some users might want to change carrier, others like to travel around and need different carriers for different regions. Whatever your reason, unlocking your iPhone is quite simple to do.

Let’s dive in

How to Unlock Your iPhone:

Because your iPhone is locked to a carrier, only that carrier can unlock it. Apple cannot do this so don’t waste time asking them.

There are certain conditions that must be met for an iPhone to be unlocked:

• It must not be on a first contract. When you purchase your iPhone with a contract, the cost of the device is spread over the term of the contract. Until that contract is satisfied, your iPhone cannot be unlocked.
• Your iPhone must be owned by you and fully paid for
• It must not have been reported as stolen, lost or blacklisted in any way.

If you purchase your iPhone second-hand, you will need to contact the seller to make sure there is no outstanding contract or is still active under their name.

1. The first step is to contact your carrier. Not all carriers will offer an unlocking service and some make a charge if they do.
2. If your iPhone is eligible for unlocking and it meets all the requirements, your request may take a few days to complete. You can contact your carrier for an update on this.
3. Once you receive confirmation that your iPhone is unlocked, move on to the next steps.

You will need a SIM card from a different carrier:

2. Restart your iPhone and set it up again

If you don’t have a SIM card to hand:

1. Back your iPhone up and then erase the device
2. Restore your iPhone using your new backup.

See how easy it is?

But what if something goes wrong?

Getting Help:

After inserting a new SIM card, you might see a message on your device or in iTunes telling you that the SIM card isn’t supported. You must ensure that you have a supported or valid SIM card. If you see this message, do the following:

1. Back your data up
2. Do a factory restore on your device
3. Contact your carrier to check they did the unlock
4. Restore using your recent backup
