I need to unlock my Iphone 4 for South Africa

AT&T did not start unlockiung iphones until this week.

There is nothing you can do.  ONLY AT&T can unlock it. 

Sell it an buy an officially unlocked iphone from an official reseller.

**** all i can do sad to say is revert to the 3rd party geevy sims ect doesnt look like apple is willing to assist outside south africa ... i work for a big media company ( a newspaper) maybe i should start a negative publicity thing in South africa  Please dont buy  apple !!!

This has nothing to do with Apple.  Manufactures don't lock phones, CARRIERS do.  Do you think your inability to use your AT&T locked phone now benefits Apple in any way?

Apple has NOTHING to do with the decision to lock or unlock an iphone, just like any other manufacturer of phones.

ONLY the carrier can make this decision.

No idea why you think this is Apples decision.

You bought an iphone from e-bay.  This is the risk you take.

You are blaming the wrong people here.  The person who lied to you about what you were buying is at fault.

Still not sure at all how you have it in your head that Apple has anything to do with this.

Apple must have alternative avenues off resolving this as ATT refuses to help !!

Well i can blame ebay but they not the brand or the product i purchased they were just the sales channel in a way!

It is unfortunate  but  im not the only person in this position !!

My view the manufacturer must take responsibility for their product/ brand name  and not let a carrier tell them how to opperate  their product  it boils down to " a bad business practice" so  the only thing i can do cut my losses but give the people out there my opinion  and the awareness  that apple doesn't give proper support channels.. I hope bad publicity would make them look at alternative ways off suporting their product !

i will send u a link to my article in the South African newspapers within a week so you can respond accoringly either posative or negative ?
