iPhone 11 locked to three

I don’t think Apple cares who makes the request tbh!

I mean god loves a trier.

I think it’s about as likely to work as if you contact a supermarkets supplier to purchase products through them if you get me. I don’t think the contact details for the department within Apple that handles these requests is public information.

For the record, I just mentioned them because I personally have used them in the past without any issues.

It’s not switcher.ie btw, not being pedantic it’s just that website is for utility company price comparisons 😅

Again the best way I can compare this is like SuperValu you can go in and buy stuff right? But you can’t phone up Musgraves and order the products from them for cheaper.

I mean yea it’s the same stuff right, but that’s just the law of the land so to speak. I agree they shouldn’t be either it’s a piss take.

And you dont have to pay. Three can submit an unlocking request for you but as you say, in this case it’s not possible to do such things. The price seems rather high though I definitely think you would be better off maybe trying some phone doctors in your area. They might be able to sort it out for u cheaper.

iPhone’s are not unlocked with codes. They are unlocked via iOS through apple servers. They are the only ones capable of switching off the network lock.

Software unlocks via jailbreaks are not permanent and can be removed if you update the software. They’re also completely different to a factory unlock or an unlocking code.

The codes themselves are permanent factory unlocks. It’s not the same as jailbreaking or rooting.

Look man if you want to visit a local phone repair shop and see if they’ll explain it to you feel free? You’ll be hard pressed to find one who will and I’m not going to do it.

If it’s this shocking to you that shops who’s sole business is to repair and unlock phones have the ability to unlock phones through Apple I can’t help you any further. This isn’t exactly news and has been around as long as the phone has been.

There are absolutely plenty of websites and retail stores offering this service who don’t do it correctly and will simply apply a software unlock which will be gone if you reset/update the phone, but those stores and websites usually have shite reviews so you can avoid them.

All you need to know is legitimate businesses will unlock your phone through apple and the how is irrelevant. Do you often find yourself worrying how repair shops get their hands on genuine apple parts despite apple only very recently offering them for sale and only to the US at present?

Where there’s a will there’s a way. That’s all I’ll say.

Man you’re just confusing yourself here. What I said was all factory unlocks are done through apples servers. They don’t generate codes like other phones.

Yes, you can software unlock the phone temporarily but it’s unreliable and not a proper factory unlock. Those can still only be done through apple.

Repair shops and unlocking businesses have methods of getting it done through apple. But were they all to explain exactly how to do it then they wouldn’t have a business worth a shite anymore would they? Same as when I explained why you can buy Musgraves products in SuperValu but not directly from musgraves because then SuperValu becomes irrelevant.
