Apple Factory Unlock iPhone 3Gs | T-Mobile

Unlocking policies with the various networks differ greatly. If you bought an iPhone 2nd hand or were gifted an iPhone, if you are not the original contract holder or if a contract period remains (to name but a few) it's likely you will not meet the requirements to unlock directly via T-Mobile. This is when an Official Factory Apple Unlock Service is required.

An Official Apple Unlock removes ALL network restrictions imposed by T-Mobile both in and around the world. This allows your iPhone 3Gs to be used with ANY network and unlocked from anywhere in the world. Unless stated, as long as your iPhone 3Gs has not been reported 'lost or stolen', any iPhone 3Gs can be unlocked, regardless of contractual period (unless stated) etc. Once unlocked you are able to swap and change network Sim cards at your will. Your will be unlocked to use any sim card and no longer limited to just T-Mobile in .

To unlock your iPhone 3Gs with an Official Permanent iPhone Unlock all we require is the IMEI of the phone and a contact email address to receive all correspondence and ultimately, the 'Unlock Confirmation'.

An IMEI number is a unique 15 digit number that identifies your handset and its lock to the T-Mobile network. The process updates your IMEI on the Apple GSX database and it is marked as 'Unlocked/Whitelisted/Sim Free'. This is the only permanent unlock, recognised by Apple.

How to unlock an iPhone 3Gs on T-Mobile:

1. Locate your IMEI number (Detailed help on how to find your imei is available here)
2. Select iPhone 3Gs from the model options.
3. Select the Country your T-Mobile iPhone is locked to.
4. Confirm the T-Mobile network by selecting it once the country has been selected.
5. Order your iPhone Unlock - Instant submission upon payment.
6. Unlock confirmation email sent immediately upon status update.
7. Simply insert a new Sim card whilst connected to an active WiFi signal to complete the unlock.

The third generation of the iPhone, the iPhone 3GS succeeded the iPhone 3G and was released first in the USA, Canada, and six European countries on June 19, 2009, in Australia and Japan on June 26 and internationally throughout July and August.

This iPhone 3Gs the "S" standing for Speed included performance improvements, a 3-megapixel camera with higher resolution and video ability, voice control and support for 7.2 Mbit/s HSDPA downloading

It was succeeded in 2010 by the iPhone 4, however, the 3GS remained in production until September 2012 when the iPhone 5 was announced.

  I was tasked with unlocking our 7 company iPhones... All were unlocked from the Orange network within the timescale quoted and contrary to my expectations, the whole process was simple and easy. I had no further involvement other than submitted the IMEI's, they did everything and I simply received an email confirming the unlock for each handset. Will definitely use for all our unlocking requirements.

  Lets face it, the only reason we read these reviews is to get the confidence of those who have gone before us! It's the only reason I have taken the time to add this, simply because the service and customer service was beyond all of my expectations. I took the chance and I am pleased to say it worked, my iPhone 5s was unlocked from the Vodafone network in under 3 days. Cannot recommend highly enough. Great job

  I have unlocked 4 work phones now with this company when we swapped providers, I cannot recommend highly enough. Fast, efficient and reliable service that I will use again.

  Spent about a week being told by local shops and Vodafone that I could not get unlocked, I thought I was stuck with an iPhone that I was never going to get unlocked. Found officialappleunlock this morning and within a few days it was unlocked. Seriously impressed and can highly recommend to others.

  My EE iPhone that is still in contract was unlocked in just 3 days when EE would not even enterain it. Bit expensive but less than I'd found elsewhere and the price was justified when it was explained to me that the handset is heavily subsidised when purchased on a contract.

  Had a little problem with the phone recognising the unlock but emailed customer service and they soon determined it was because I had restored my phone to factory settings and not activated it before trying to unlock it. On their advice I solved my problem and now my phone is unlocked. The only reason for a 4 star and not a 5 was that LiveChat is only available 104 GMT and I am now in Australia. Already recommended to other travellers I have come across wishing to do the same and will continue to recommend you. Brilliant service, thank you.

  I'd used this site before to unlock another phone but this time I wanted my new iPhone 6 plus unlocked. It took a little longer than I'd hoped so I was getting a little worried. I had no problems with my previous unlock so I knew it wasn't a scam but others in the same position may have worried. I was probably a little impatient because it was only 2 days later than I thought.
