In settings-general-about, there is a Network section there. Is that what you're looking for?

You need to have the IMEI number of your device, and to find a tool on Internet that can tell you what carrier it is locked to with that info. Usually you have to pay for the complete info about your device, but if you're lucky you might find a tool somewhere that does it for free, or that gives the carrier info in its trial version.

If, as I gather you are, you're stuck at the activation screen, and if you don't have the original box of the iPhone, you'll need to hook your device to a CPU and check out the USB buses to get the IMEI. Google it all for the tools and know-how.

Hi thanks for the replies. My iphone is jb on 5.1.1 and hactivated so I can access the screen. I am willing to pay for a service to find out my network. Any suggestions?

You might not need to pay, as I was saying...

Google a query like "Find carrier with IMEI"...

But why would you need that if you're already hacktivated and can access the screen? All you have to do now is install UltraSn0w 1.2.7 on Cydia... and put in whatever SIM you want...

This is suppose to work on any GSM iPhone.

i tried that and where it says carrier it says(not activated)

 

[GPAbsinthe]

Well... if you're sure what country it's from you can call each main carrier to know if it's their phone. A task made easier by the fact that, usually, the iPhone is restricted to only the most prominent carriers. So depending on which iPhone it is, you can easily know what carriers to call first.

Call apple with the imei they will let you know.

The above method use to work but Apple has now stopped allowing these requests since mid August 2012. There is an alternative method, just not as simple.

Have a look at the article below.
