iPhone Unlocking & Repairs

HOW DO I CHECK TO SEE WHAT VERSION OF FIRMWARE I HAVE
You can check what firmware is preinstalled by going to the emergency call, entering *3001#12345#* then pressing "Call". Under Versions you will find what revision firmware is on the phone out of the box.
03.12.06_G is firmware 1.0.0
03.14.08_G is firmware 1.0.1 and 1.02
04.01.13_G is firmware 1.1.1
04.02.04_G is firmware 1.1.1
04.02.13_G is firmware 1.1.2
04.03.13_G is firmware 1.1.3

WHAT MODELS CAN CURRENTLY BE UNLOCKED
All versions can now be unlocked / deBricked!!! We offer a WALK IN UNLOCKING SERVICE and a POSTAL SERVICE. The cost is £24.99 ex VAT per unlock. Corporate rates available.

We can also DEBRICK your iphone for £34.99

WILL IT WORK WITH FUTURE UPDATES TO THE IPHONE
The honest answer is who knows what apple will do in the futuer regarding updates regarding locking previously unlocked phones. However please remember that all updates are optional to install.

DOES THE UNLOCK WORK FOR ALL NETWORKS WORLDWIDE
The only two that cannot be unlocked are Verizon in the USA and 3G in the UK

WE USE A SOFTWARE SOLUTION TO UNLOCK THE IPHONE
For those people who prefer to use 02. You do not need the expensive contract that comes with the phone. Once the phone is unlocked using software, you can use the following sim cards.
1.o2 Pay As You Go Sim
2.Cheaper o2 sim-only contract
3.Tesco Pay-as-you go sim


WHAT OPERATING SYSTEM DOES THE IPHONE USE?
iPhone uses OS X, the world’s most advanced operating system. Which means you have access to the best-ever software on a handheld device, including rich HTML email, full-featured web browsing, and favorite applications including Address Book and Calendar. iPhone is also fully multi-tasking, so you can read a web page while downloading your email in the background.

WHAT IS A PROXIMITY SENSOR?
When you lift iPhone to your ear, the proximity sensor immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches until iPhone is moved away. Another power-saving feature is the ambient light sensor. This intelligent sensor automatically adjusts the display’s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light.

WHAT IS VISUAL VOICEMAIL?
Visual Voicemail allows you to go directly to any of your messages without listening to the prior messages. So you can quickly select the messages that are most important to you.

IS UNLOCKING THE IPHONE ILLEGAL?
No. In fact, there is a strong argument suggesting that the locking of phones by mobile networks should be illegal, as it restricts choice and freedom. It''''''''''''''''s your phone and so you should be free to chose which SIM card to use with it. You would never get a car manufacturer saying you can only fill up your petrol with Shell!

IS UNLOCKING THE SAME AS UNBLOCKING?
No. A blocked phone is one which has been reported lost or stolen and which the network barred to discourage phone crime. Removing this block is illegal, punishable by a 5-year prison term and rightly so.

WILL I BE ABLE TO USE MY IPHONE ON ANY OTHER NETWORK?
After unlocking the iPhone, you can use your phone on any network that uses a GSM service (most networks in most countries worldwide).

WILL ALL THE SAME FEATURES WORK?
Except for Visual Voice mail (which is an exclusive AT&T & O2 feature), all features currently available on locked phones are available on unlocked phones. Some applications such as YouTube may require some manual configuration.

CAN THE PHONE BE LOCKED AGAIN ONCE IT IS UNLOCKED?
Our advice on this is simple - DO NOT ACCEPT THE SOFTWARE UPDATES! There is a risk that if you update the software, Apple will re-lock the phone or try to damage the software. The way to counter this is to not accept the iphone updates - remember, they are optional to install. If in doubt, get back to us at fone doctors.

I CAN SEE "INCORRECT SIM" MESSAGE BUT THE ORIGINAL SIM CARD IS IN THE DEVICE--The security area is damaged (previous unlock or third party software modification). Special recovery procedure needed with extra charge of £25.00 required. This is on top of any other charge.

THE IMEI ON THE BACKPLATE IS NOT THE SAME AS THAT ON THE PHONE
It seems that the security area is damaged (previous unlock or third party software modification). Special recovery procedure needed with extra charge of £25.00 required. This is on top of any other charge.

THERE IS A YELLOW TRIANGLE ON THE SCREEN AFTER THE IPHONE IS SWITCHED ON--The I-Phone is in recovery mode, software is corrupted. Special recovery procedure needed with extra charge of £25.00 required. This is on top of any other charge.

FULL WHITE SCREEN APPEARS AFTER THE PHONE IS SWITCHED ON
The Phone is in DFU mode. Special recovery procedure needed with extra charge of £25.00 required.This is on top of any other charge.

TESTIMONIALS
Just a quick note to thank you all for your excellent service! I received the phone as I got to work this morning at 08.30 and considering we are roughly 260 miles apart, and the receipt for my payment included with the phone was 18.02 yesterday I think that is damned good going! We took a gamble sending the phone away to be repaired, but would recommend your services to anyone. Fantastic service, excellent value for money – a well happy customer. Thank you.
Kind regards - Pam (Bridlington, Yorkshire)

Have used your company before to fix my ipod and both times I have been very pleased with the way my quote has been handled (speed & reasonable pricing) Generally good company & have been recommended to other people i know with ipods
Keep up the good work!!
Rob--Manchester

Mr x has asked me to contact you to convey his thanks for the excellent course he attended yesterday. He was full of praise for your set up in Wimbledon and the gentleman who trained him.

Graham--London

Just a quick note to say thank you for your excellent service. I ordered an LCD for a Samsung D900, for a customer repair. It arrived very quickly, well packaged, quality item (unlike some of the dodgy LCDs out there!), with all the bits to make a comprehensive repair. My customer very happy with the quick service, so I will definitely be using you again in the future.
Well done!

Placed an order for a new mic for my wifes Nokia 6610 on Wednesday afternoon and it arrived on Friday. Excellent service.
The phone was only 13 months old and just out of guarantee. The new mic took 5 minutes to replace and only cost £3.99. Excellent value for money.
Peter, London

I would just like to thank you for the excellent service you provide. I sent my Motorola V3i on the Thursday (during the severe storms which delayed the post) with a badly damaged screen. I have just received it back repaired (Wednesday - six days including the weekend and storm delay) and looking/working like new. Thanks again for a great service at very reasonable cost.
Peter, Norwich

Truly astonishing service, I posted my Motorola V600 to yourselves on Thursday about 2:00pm and I received it back here today working perfectly at about 8:25am. Less than 48hrs. Thanks to all involved,

I''''''''ve received my phone this morning, I just wanted to email and say how impressed I was with the service I received. My phone looks as good as new. I will certainly use you again for any of the company phones that may need repair.
Liz, Bassingstoke

After two days on your Mobile Repair Course I could actually repair mobile phones. The course really does teach you what it says it does. Thanks to all concerned for allowing me to start a new career in mobile phone repair and unlocking
Steve, London

Just to say I received my Nokia part today, thank you for the excellent service. I originally ordered these parts from another internet company. After debiting my credit card it took over a month for the goods to arrive and there were parts missing. When I queried this, I was simply just told these were now unobtainable. I am in the process of obtaining a refund from that company. I then found your company, what a difference. I will certainly be recommending you to my colleagues and friends.
Richard, Sherfield-on-Loddon, near Bassingstoke

I bought a second hand mobile (quite a good one) on E Bay, but after
two weeks we had a problem. What a refreshing surprise to find your website (easily named) which even I could follow, not only detailing my phone but pointing owards the likely trouble (microphone).I therefore sent it off on Tuesday and you had it back here by Friday. Outstanding.
Jerry, Channel Islands

I just want to say a big thanks for fixing my phone. i am very impressed with your attitude and service. you fixed my phone without a problem and the cost was very resonable too. 3 other companys said my phone couldnt be fixed!!!! but you sorted it out immediately.
i would definetly use your service again and will recommend you to others i know.
Steph, Manchester
