[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1555824, member: 38864"] You didn't tell me what problems you are having with the iPhone, besides it not being unlocked. So I assume the iPhone does (seemingly) work fine, you just can't activate it? It's not that Apple "can't" unlock it. They likely are contractually obligated to not unlock devices sold under contract and leave it to the carrier to do so once the terms are fulfilled under that carrier's contract with the customer. Yes, it is silly that Orange won't do it since you aren't a customer, and maybe they won't because whoever sold it to you hadn't yet fulfilled the terms of the contract that they bought it under. Your options are to either become a customer (see if they will unlock it if you buy a cheap pre-paid SIM card, or something like that), or re-sell it on the condition that it is usable (for now) only on Orange.
