So you're leaving PM and need the phone unlocked...correct ? You'll have to contact a moderator for unlock assistance.

Public Mobile has not sold phones locked for a very long time, not since shortly after switching to Telus' HSPA/lTE network.

The phones that were sold by Public Mobiel for use on Public's original CDMA network cannot be used for anything any longer. They are literally paperweights/alarm clocks.

The ones that Public Mobile did sell shortly after Telus takeover are the ones that have sim card slots. Back then, those phones were essentially Telus and Koodo stock. Public Mobile Moderators can unlock any phone that is locked to Telus/Koodo.

Currently, phones sold by carriers in Canada are not locked to one speicfic carrier.

If your phone is locked you need to contact your old company to do that and it’s free.

Useful to know:

All wireless devices sold after December 1, 2017 are already unlocked (sometimes they may be locked but then you will have instructions on how to unlock it, it is free).

If you need to unlock your phone, ask your carrier they will give you an unlocking code and explainations on how to do it. For free.

Does this apply for older iPhones? I've got a 4 here that displays no service even before I login to it with my apple account, I've sent a message to the mod team, but Im

Can you try a sim from a family member or a friend?

@on2wheelsI am pretty sure it doesn't apply to older iPhones.. especially if you don't know what the previous carrier is. If your think the iPhone is worth while you can buy one of the unlock status query services for iPhones... You just type in the IMEI numbers and they will show the status.

Also I am pretty PM Mods can't help you with unlock status of iPhones with questionable lock status from other carriers.

Apparently it was with Koodo and I'm using a working pm sim in it from an older android phone.

Ive provided the imei and account to the mod team here, maybe they can assist?

@on2wheelsI am pretty sure you need to talk to Koodo about unlocking.. not PM.

Some of the earlier iPhone 4 won't work as they are obsolete.

Give this a try...www.willmyphonework.net.

Let us know.

If it was working with Koodo before then it should work here as the locked status carries across.

So what all problems are you having? Calls in/out? Texts in/out? Internet browsing? MMS?
