View originalIphone needs unlocking
Hi. I’ve been given an iPhone but it needs unlocking to do mobile data. Please can you advise ? Many thanks
Welcome to the ID Community
I'm afraid that a phone bought from another supplier would need to be unlocked by the original supplier; we would be unable to have the phone unlocked that isn't from the ID Mobile network.
That is if you mean SIM locked?
However have you tried putting in an ID Sim and seeing what happens?
If it is just data settings that are missing you can use itunes to update the mobile while connected to a computer. New mobile carrier network settings and iphone software updates were released recently.
Otherwise this following link may help with data settings
