what is up guys kristen here today i
will show you how to unlock an iPhone is
e it is exactly the same procedure as
unlocking any other iPhone such as
iPhone 5s iPhone 6 6s 6x plus or any
other iPhone so for this example I'm
going to use this phone and I will show
you how to do it step-by-step we're
going to go completely through the whole
unlocking process this is a factory
unlock which means that we will do a
network unlock so that you can use your
iPhone with any other GSM carrier out
there now after we unlock the phone you
will be able to update jailbreak restore
do whatever you want with your iPhone
and your phone will always remain
unlocked it is completely safe and very
very simple so to unlock your iPhone you
will need a following three things you
will need your iPhone you will need a
USB cable you will need a SIM card and a
computer with the latest version of
iTunes installed this lock is made
directly through iTunes so it is
completely safe and reliable however I
have to mention that in most of the
cases we will need to pay to unlock this
phone but I'll show you the way to
unlock it and then you later decide if
you wanna pay to unlock it or not
perfect so let's begin with the actual
unlocking so the first step is to
disable Find My iPhone so just go to
Settings iCloud and make sure Find My
iPhone is completely deactivated you can
reactivate it once the lock is completed
so this is just temporary all right so
the second step is to get your phone's
IMEI number to get that Mei number
simply go to the dialpad
and type star hash zero six hash and you
will see that your 15 digit IMEI number
will appear so this is very very
important this is probably the most
important part of the whole unlocking
procedure so keep this number close
because we don't need it later to unlock
this iPhone alright so once you're in
your computer open your browser and go
to the website unlockriver.com in this
website we just have to fill in the
information about the iPhone we want to
unlock and we will request the unlock so
we're going to start by selecting the
original carrier that your phone is
currently locked to in my case is locked
to AT&T in the United States so select
that one is currently locked to then you
have to select the brand of your phone
we select Apple and then select the
exact model you want to unlock so this
method will work for any model but for
this example I'm going to use iPhone S
II
so I'll select that one and then the
most important part here you have to
enter correctly your IMEI number does
the number we got before so enter here
make sure it is 100% correct if there's
a mistake here this method will not work
perfect now the final step is to enter
your personal email where you want to
receive your unlock notification so also
make sure it is 100% correct because
they will notify you here once your
iPhone is ready to be unlocked so if you
scroll down you will see the average
delivery time and the price to unlock
your iPhone now this will always vary
depending on your phones brand carrier
and country so it may take between 1 to
48 hours but sometimes you can take up
to 15 business days so it will say here
how much time you need to wait on the
next page you will see a summary of your
order so check everything here there's a
few things that you need to consider
before unlocking your phone don't worry
everything is safe and no risk involved
so once you have read everything go
ahead and place your order I'll be back
in a few seconds once I'm done placing
my order alright guys so if you did
everything correctly you will see a
screen just like this it basically
confirms that your order was placed
successfully and now you just have to
wait you have to wait until they send
you a notification email saying that
your iPhone has been unlocked
successfully now as I said before the
delivery time may vary depending on your
phones brand carrier and country so on
you will get a different delivery time
as mine so once you have waited the
estimated amount of time you will get an
email the email will say that your phone
is ready to be connected to iTunes to
activate the unlock so I will show you
my personal email account this is it and
as you can see here I just got an email
from unlock River saying that my iPhone
has been factory unlocked successfully
and now we just have to connect it to
iTunes to activate the unlock this may
take a few seconds it's very very simple
as you can see here there are two
methods you can simply connect to Wi-Fi
or just use iTunes we will use the
iTunes method so basically we just have
to insert a SIM card and connect our
phone to iTunes so we're going to do
that exactly right now so the very last
step we have to do is to insert a
non-supported SIM card so if my phone is
locked to AT&T I will insert that
different SIM card that it's not from
AT&T so I'm just gonna insert my SIM
card here
and once you're done just go ahead and
connect your iPhone to your computer and
open iTunes so once you have open items
you will get a message saying that your
iPhone has been successfully factory
unlocked so the message should look like
this and it will confirm that your
unlock was successful now it is as
simple as that guys you should be able
to use your phone with any GSM carrier
in the world thanks for watching guys I
hope this video helped you unlock your
phone let me know if you have any
