FAQs

Can a locked iPhone be unlocked?

If your iPhone is network locked and it only works with the original carrier, yes, we can help you network unlock it and use it with any carrier, from any country.

doctorSIM's IMEI network unlock for iPhone service is a permanent and international unlock. You can update your iOS version and reset the phone, and it will remain unlocked.

Please bear in mind that our service does not remove the blacklist. If your device is blacklisted as lost, stolen, or with unpaid bills, you need to contact the original network carrier to remove this restriction, otherwise you will not be able to use the phone properly.

Not sure if your phone is blacklisted? You can run the IMEI check with our quick Blacklist check Blacklist service.

What is the Locked/Unlocked check?

It's a quick and efficient service to check if your iPhone is network unlocked and can be used with any network or if, on the other hand, it needs to be network unlocked. To network unlock it, you need to know which network carrier sold the device originally. If you don't have this information, we can help you with our Network Carrier Check.

Does doctorSIM remove the blacklist block?

Our services do not remove the blacklist block, as this is an additional restriction set by the device's original carrier when a phone has been reported lost, stolen or with unpaid bills.

The blacklist block can be removed by the phone's legal owner, who has to contact the network carrier and settle any pending issues or payments.

Does this service tell me if my iPhone is blacklisted?

The Locked/Unlocked Check Service will tell you if the phone is network unlocked and can be used with any carrier, or if, on the other hand, it's locked and you can only use it with its original network carrier.

The blacklist block is a different restriction. If you need to check if your phone has been reported as lost, stolen or unpaid, you can use our IMEI checker, also known as Blacklist Check, which will be delivered in less than 10 minutes.

What happens if I don't know the original carrier of my iPhone?

Not sure which network locked your iPhone? Don't worry, our IMEI check service is fast and effective, and with it you can easily identify the device's Original Carrier.

After this phone check, you can request our IMEI network unlock service to unlock your phone, and use it with any network, worldwide.

My phone says "No Service", can you help me?

If you have requested the IMEI check and the phone appears as unlocked, the "No Service" message can be related to a network connectivity issue, as the phone recognizes the SIM card, but is unable to reach the network.

Some possible reasons why the "No Service" message comes up are the following:

  • The search mode is not set to "Automatic" under Settings/Carrier
  • The SIM card inserted might not have been activated properly
  • Your previous network provider may have blacklisted the IMEI of your iPhone; this is done if there is an outstanding bill or the phone is considered stolen or lost, so we recommend contacting the network provider to clarify the situation
