Have the new iPhone 6...What is involved to "unlock" my iPhone 5 prior to selling it to maybe get a higher asking price?
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
I'm not sure what country you are in and the process differs from country to country I would imagine.
In the UK, you can call your carrier and ask them to unlock the device and most of them will do it for free if you are on a contract with them. If not, they may charge a nominal amount o unlock the device. I'm sure a number of other countries will do the same.
In other countries that don't have this process, I think there are a number of extortionately priced websites that can do this for you but personally I wouldn't trust one of these sites as far as I could comfortably spit a Buick.
