  • I guess you mean unlocking? i.e making it open to all networks..Either jailbreak it or contact your network provider.
  • The easiest way is indeed to contact your provider, but it'll cost you.

    I did my one myself for free, which worked (after a few teething troubles :) )

    depends what network you're on and whether you bought it PAYG or contract.

    if it is an iphone 4 then doing it the network way is the only way to unlock it.

    yeah the provider way is good, or you could just hand them in at a police station, but tbh they will prob just say that you have already left them for a good amount of time so they are now yours, or even if they do take them in another 6 months you would automatically be able to claim them as finder.

    if they are IMEI blocked they are pretty much only good for paperwaights anyway.
  • thanks will pass on

    I would have thought you could use them without the sim, e.g.an expensive version of iPod Touch.
