Hi kagan,
Take the time to read the previous posts. As you can see, no one here has a solution yet.

Sorry to hear that, but yeah, so far it doesn’t seem like a good idea to buy a locked iPhone. Better get the previous owner to unlock it before you buy it.

It would still be interesting to know if anyone has had lock unlocking an iPhone by buying a pre-paid Telia card…

Hi Adem,

I’ve had the same question asked before, but I’m afraid I don’t have a verified solution.

Someone suggested buying a (cheap) pre-paid Telia card, as a way to get a phone number to use for unlocking, but I have not heard back from the guy who suggested it, so I don’t know if it would work. Maybe you could give that a try, and let us know if it worked.

Thanks,

Great help!

I have looked a few times on this and have not wanted to do the restore as this is not what Orange (in my case) stated should be done…

Thanks again

Hi there,

The Telia rep. gave me the right guidance on restoring factory settings from iTunes. I then restored from backup.

The backup restores most data. I lost som applications in the process but have yet to figure out which applications and why som made the transition and others didn’t.

I’m heading back to Telmore as well.

Cheers, niels

How did you manage to get all your data, aps, settings, media etc. back on your newly unlocked iPhone without reseting the operator back to Telia?
