How to unlock iPhone 4

[neksmerj]

I have just received my daughter's hand-me-down iPhone 4. It was on the Telstra network.

My first problem is that it needs a micro SIMM card, my iPhone 3 uses a standard SIMM, so it doesn't fit.

After a visit to a Telstra shop, they gave me a new micro SIMM card and proceeded to transfer all my data onto the new card. Problem 2, it could not be done and suggested the phone must be locked.

I confirmed this with my daughter, and she gave me a lock pin No.

Telstra were not able to unlock my new phone at the shop and said it had to be done via iTunes.

Anyone know how? I have just downloaded iTunes.

in my case I've just changed network provider.

First, as far as I know, there is no known way to transfer iPhone contact data from an iPhone to a SIM card to take to another phone

2nd -- it's a relatively simple task to backup an iPhone to a Mac or PC and to sync contact data with the computer -- iTunes will normally do it without being asked to.

Hi Ian,

I am really dumb when dealing with iPhones, the phone contacts in my new phone I don't want, in fact I want to delete all of them.

Is this a painless excercise and can it be done using iTunes?

Was unable to sort out my phone, so took it back to my daughter's place where she could get on-line. Apparently you can only erase the phone whilst on-line.

The next part was easy, my son cut down my normal size SIMM card to fit the micro SIMM carrier, and whallah, in business.
