Hi !

few monts ag I was studying in france and I bought a iphone 5.
I am now back in Malaysia but my phone is lock on Orange france carrier.

where can i go to unlock it, and how much will it cost for it ?

thanks a lot !

Brad

IINM, Orange does provide unlock for their iPhone.

Before asking here, have you tried to request Orange to unlock for you?

because i tried, they say you must have the phone for 3 months at least, and whn i explain to them that i bought it on december24th, so more than 3 months they dont know how to answer !

any place I can go ? And how much ?

Well, there are "methods" to unlock your iPhone5 to be used with Malaysia carrier. But you are so out of luck for iPhone5

1. Ultrasn0w - Not supported for iPhone5
2. Gevey Sim Unlock - Not supported for iPhone5
3. SAM Unlock Ticket - Exploit closed

4. Factory Unlocked or IMEI based unlock method: Your last method. I'll not provide the link here. Google yourself

Ok thanks for your answer !

i can unlock it by using x-sim at RM120, bring you iphone 5 and Malaysia simcard to my office at Sri Petaling, i can unlock it within 30min. 100% can unlock. factory unlock for iphone 5 france orange will cost you more then 150usd (about RM500)
please Pm me if you interested.

May i know ???
X-Sim can support iOS 6.1.3 ???

yes, 100% tested and support ios 6.1.3. it is very complicated for iphone 5 sprint due to the GSM/CDMA version, is not just the x-sim you buy else where will work on sprint iphone 5 6.1.3 this due to no jailbreak on 6.1.3, it need to have some special patch to this to work. otherwise your iphone will have problem sent SMS and no internet connection, we have this special patch to solve this. just bring your iphone 5 sprint to us, we will unlock it.

P.S: The below list is for Malaysia simcard that 100% tested and work with iphone 5 sprint ios 6.1.3.

Japan set can support ??? Bcoz i got friend already has been "tipu" from other forum ... So he got iPhone 5 japan set ...

i can say 100% support with the simcard compatible listing as above. i don't ask money and sent by courier and end up you have not usable turbo sim. i only request bring your phone and simcard then come to my office at sri petaling and you have nothing to loose if i can't unlock it.
all iphone 5 with sim lock user have to beware for buy any turbo sim online due to simcard compatible and ios 6.1.3 security issue.

ooo ... if i restore , can i still can use X-sim ...

all turbo sim in this world can only guarantee you on current ios, apple may or may not close back the hole on new ios patch. if you are using a turbo sim, please ask a unlock specialist first. we can only tell you one week after new ios patch after full tested.

P.S: only factory unlock can guarantee upgradeable to any ios, but not all carrier of iphone can factory unlock, is either too expensive or not available. by no choice you have use this turbo sim to unlock.

Review VIDEOS of IPHONE 5 - By CNet













Moving on to the connector - as expected, Apple has moved to a new smaller connector, called Lighting. The new connector features 8 pins and is 80% smaller. It has improved durability and is reversible (no more guessing which end is up!). For compatibility with older cables and accessories, there's an unattractive looking converter.

guys, feel free to pm me on any addition to thread..

contribution from everyone is much appreciated

you should add an article on how to activate LTE on the device

erm every user can?

currently digi but still not LTE yet

correct me if i'm wrong

for Maxis, have to update carrier settings to 14.1
i'm not too sure on Celcom, maybe someone else can input this.
Digi has no LTE at the moment
