Hello everyone!
First off i want to say that i am living currently in the Palestinian Territories/ Israel and have been using a unlocked windows phone
ever since. I have a Locked AT&T iPhone 4 and have went ahead and taken it to a cell phone shop here that claimes that they can Factory Unlock any iPhone you bring them. The shop here didn't seem fishy or anything because their were about 50+ iPhones waiting for the Factory unlock prosess with many customers leaving happily with a unlocked iphone.
So i went ahead and dropped of my iphone with the owner telling me that I dont pay him anything untill the iPhone has been successfully factory unlocked. Waiting the 3 days that he told me it takes i come back the 4th day and have been welcomed back with my iPhone being factory unlocked. I grabbed a IL ORANGE sim card and popped it in my iPhone , it said "Searching" then showed my carrier with full bars and a EDGE connection. I Took out the IL ORANGE sim and inserted a JAWWAL-PALESTINE sim and have been also succesful with aquiring a signal and a working EDGE conection.
My question to yall is that my iPhone is running iOS 5.0.1 and i want to update it to 5.1.1, I need to do a restore on the iPhone to remove some exchange accounts as well as all the data on it and wipe it clean. So if i do a restore then update it to iOS 5.1.1 will the iphone ask to be activated on AT&T or can i activate it on any carrier because its factory unlocked?
Their ISNT any AT&T coverage here in Palestine/Israel so will this be a problem?
I think your phone was unlocked by hacking. It will be restored to it's factory default including being locked at ATT. ![]()
It sounds as if your iPhone was hacked by the cell phone shop and most
likely will be re-locked to AT&T when you update. Per Terms of Use to
which you agreed when you logged into this forum, there is no support
available here for hacked iPhones. Return to that shop for any support
issues you may have.
