Check the Serial Number at the back of your iPhone.

This alphanumeric string is 11 characters long. The fourth and fifth characters represent the build week of the particular iPhone.

  • If your numbers are less than or equal to 44, then you can most likely unlock your iPhone.
  • If your numbers are 45, then there is a chance the iPhone can be unlocked.
  • If your numbers are equal to or greater than 46 then you can not unlock it.

If you have an unlockable iPhone, then your ONLY method for using it with another carrier is to purchase an aftermarket SIM. This SIM would spoof an authorized SIM. The downside is these aftermarket SIMs cost upwards of $90. These SIMs may also be blocked at the next firmware or baseband update released by Apple.

    About Me

    Hi, I have been using this awesome invention called the Apple iPhone from November 2007 and have gone nutzzz over it. Nuts to an extent that I started this blog which talks just about iPhone and nothing else.

    This blog of mine has been getting tremendous response and is being followed by all kinds of mobile phone users from all over the globe. Most of the traffic comes from the US and Europe. Thank you all for making this blog a success :)
