Hey Everyone!
my cousin found an iphone for me, but is not unlocked.
All i can do is make an emergency call only.
Here is the things i would like you guys to help me with

1)What kind of iphone is it if it has 16GB and the serial number and IMEI are on the sim tray

2)where can i find out the firmware version of it?

3) I really need help on how to be able to use this phone for T-mobile.
Can someone pleaseeeeee help me!

THanks!

If it has a metal back then it is the 2G iPhone. As far as unlocking goes I am with ATT so I would nto know anything about that, but if you do a Google search about it I am sure that you will find all the info that you need. As far as knowing the firmware version you need to go into settings and about. I am almost sure that it is a 3G or 3GS as I don't think that they made a 16gig 2G but I could be wrong about that. Hope that helps.

The back of it is black.
It's either 3G or 3GS, but i cant find out what kind it is.
and i cant enter the settings because the phone is locked. I cant do anything.

Sounds like it's a lost/stolen phone. Try to find the owner and make them happy by returning it.

Is the writing at the bottom shiny silver like the Apple logo, or more of a matte grey? The shiny silver is 3GS, the matte grey is the 3G.

But I agree with Alli.

lol alli there was no sim in the phone.
The apple logo on the back of it is shiny.
The writing below it is like matte gray.

So if there isn't a sim in it, then it's not stolen/lost? Yeah that makes sense

I agree with Alli...

Never thought about that. To the OP, just how did you cousin come into possession of it. Ali makes a good point if it is locked then there is a good bet that it belongs to someone who would like it back.

[Muero]

It's entirely possible that this isn't locked with a passcode but just isn't activated in iTunes. That will give you the same "will only make an emergency call" behavior.

[Alli]

Except that emergency mode doesn't request a passcode.

[poisoned10]

Sounds stolen and the OP can't get it to work.

Threads like these just seem too sketchy and I wouldn't offer any help.

[Earless Puppy]

I refuse to help you use a stolen phone

[James94]

Lol i found out that he said it was stolen so i dont pay him for it.
He has done a lot for me and he was like "i only said this because i knew you would pay me back for this phone."
ah hes a nice guy. It was his old phone.

[iquinn]

Ummm, if it was his old iPhone then why do you not know what the pass code is? Why would he give you it and not tell you. I'm calling BS on the OP.

[buddyclub94]

maybe is not genuine iPhone

I second that.

If it's not stolen take it to a Genius desk. If it is stolen take it to a Genius desk. Get it returned to it's owner.
