So, how to know which devices are officially unlocked from the locked device is very important for users who are about to buy a new phone, especially after the conscience was absent. Exorbitant. Consequently, upon the first update of the firmware, the user's phone crashes and has to wait until the network unlock program releases his phone, and sometimes it takes months.
Let us show you ways to find out about the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS devices that are officially open on all networks from the unlocked. As for the old iPhone 2G phone with a silver back, it is locked in America only, AT&T company. It can never be open.
The first method (by phone model):
On the iPhone XNUMXG, he was there Table Submitted by Apple, which shows the countries in which the iPhone is available, its models, and its status in relation to the networks, is it open on all networks or closed on a specific network, but the column for models in this table has been deleted and it becomes difficult to recognize the status of the phone in relation to the networks through the new table, and because The topic is important for iPhone Islam visitors and iPhone users. We will provide you with a copy of this old schedule.
And from our observations on the table, we found the following:
Each country has a letter that distinguishes its model, such as the letter T for Italy, the letter CZ for the Czech Republic, and so on. . . . But there are some countries that are similar in this letter, for example, the models of Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates are similar, and its distinctive letter is AB, although it is officially open in Saudi Arabia and the Emirates and is closed in Egypt and Jordan, so in this case the separation is the second method in the article via iTunes, or to be sure of its source To check whether the phone is unlocked or locked.
So phones whose model has the letter T are officially open to all networks and their source is Italy, and phones with the letter LL are pieces that are locked and originate in America, and which have the letter NF. And it is open if it is from a network TurkCell andIt is locked if it is from the Vodafone network, and so on. . . .
From the model number, you can know the color and capacity of the phone. For example, the models MB489 are a model for iPhone 8G black with a capacity of 496 GB, MB16 for 500 GB black and MB16 for 131 GB white and MC16 iPhone 132GS 16 GB black and MC133 for 32 GB white The MC134 for 32GB black and MCXNUMX for XNUMXGB white.
So by looking at the model, you can find out which country is it open or closed by the distinctive letter, and you can know its color and capacity from the number in the model.

Steps: Connect the iPhone to the computer via the USB connection, then open the iTunes program, then create a restore for your phone, and after the restore, leave it connected to iTunes and wait for it to connect to the server:
In the event that your phone is officially unlocked on all networks, a congratulatory message will appear on iTunes:
"Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked"
If your phone is only open to your network, then the phrase "iPhone is activared" will appear on the phone, and nothing will appear to you on iTunes.
But if your phone is not open to your network, it will give you a message:
"The SIM card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported".
