Factory Unlocking Your iPhone 6s: A Step-by-Step Guide
What's up guys, David here and in this quick video, I'm going to show you how to factory unlock your iPhone 6s, which will allow you to use it on any GSM carrier worldwide. It's worth noting that this method also works with the iPhone 6s Plus and pretty much any other iPhone out there.
Before we get started, I want to let you know that this method isn't free. It does cost some money, but the money that you can potentially save on roaming charges and the resale value it adds back to your phone could make it well worth it. So, if you're looking to unlock your iPhone and use it with a different carrier, keep reading.
The first step is to turn off Find My iPhone. You can do this by going into the settings, then iCloud, then Find My iPhone, and then flipping the switch to the off position. Once you've done that, go back to the home screen and open up the dialer. Dial Star #06# to bring up your iPhone's IMEI number. Write this number down and make sure that you get it right, as you're going to need it later.
Next step is to go to unlockriver.com, where you'll actually be able to get that unlock code that your phone needs. Just enter in your information, so in my case, the carrier is AT&T United States. But be sure to select whatever carrier your iPhone is actually locked to, and make sure the manufacturer is Apple, we're unlocking the iPhone 6s. Then, enter in that IMEI number that you got earlier, making sure to double check that it's entered correctly.
Finally, put in your valid email address, as this is where your unlock confirmation will be sent. As you can see here, the unlock could take a while to process for me; it was just a few hours, but in some rare cases, it can take up to a few business days. So, be patient and soon enough, you'll get an email that looks like this telling you that your iPhone has been successfully unlocked.
From here, all you have to do is enter in an unaccepted SIM card. Basically, any SIM card that isn't from the carrier that your phone is locked to. In my case, since the phone was locked to AT&T, I'll enter in a Vodaphone SIM card. And then, all you have to do is connect the phone to Wi-Fi and that's it; your iPhone will be officially unlocked.
If you don't have Wi-Fi available, you can always just connect your iPhone to iTunes, and that will do the trick as well. But, anyway, that's it for me in this video, thank you guys for watching, and as always, I'll see you in the very next episode.
