I bought a iphone4 from someone and it is unlocked or jailbreak (not sure if same thing) and I send it to a friend in Malaysia. it got stopped and my friend said they needed a permit for it to clear and mention sirim which i dont really understand that mean..

asking what company it is and I assume its AT&T since it is from it or is it APPLE?

asking me what permit which i dont understand.

can you help me out here? i have all the information about the iphone4.

what should I do?
how long does it take?
My friend lives in Perlis

thanks and reply quick as you can
