Lol.

Answer #3

The company or the consumer ended the contract. The contract could also have a deadline depicting when the services would be stripped from the user. Lack pf paying bills also could have caused this. If there is an option to put a password, it could just mean you have accidentally put the password on or put it on several times wrong. You might have to contact the manufacturer. By the way iPhones suck! xD, my opinion, don’t hate. That may sound hypocritical, but I don’t care at the moment.

Answer #4

They do suck, I got it when I was 13 because I was all traying to be cool and I only had it for like 2 months, because first the bills where going crazy, and second the touch screen was making me mad! :O

So, you need to unlock it from Vodafone or from any of the online service providers like http://www.onlinegsmunlock.com/apple-iphone/rs7wp9/ to unlock your iPhone. Here, you can get Remote unlocking method to unlock your iPhone.

The process of removing SIM lock from your phone is known as “Unlocking” . “ Sim lock “indicates that the current Network provider restricts our phone to use with other countries. For example: Consider you have an iPhone 4 which is locked to o2 UK . Unexpectedly, you want to switch over from UK to Australia . At that situation, your phone gets locked to particular network (o2). During that time, you need to unlock it to use your iPhone with Australia or other countries. You can get unlocking service from your Network provider/use factory unlocking method/get Remote unlocking method from any of the third-party service providers like http://www.theunlockarena.com/apple-iphone-4/rs13wp9/ to unlock your iPhone 4.All the network providers lock the SIM to work with different countries .We can’t use it without unlock it. This is the process of SIM lock.
