I purchased a iPhone 4s (AT&T) from ebay to be used in Iceland, the seller said it was factory unlocked.
but when i inserted my Vodafone sim card it said 'Sim not valid -the sim card that you currently have
installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported ...
I contacted the seller, who was kind enough to give me their Itunes log in details and also a email by
At&T about the process of how to unlock.
1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have Internet connectivity.
2. Ensure the SIM card that came with this device is inserted in your iPhone. (The problem is I do not have a AT&T sim and the seller disposed the original sim)
3. Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
4. Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes. For information on backup and restore, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

I tried with my vodafone sim & a AT&T inactive sim but it did not work. I did a restore from backup aswell as ' as new
I spoke to AT&T they where very nice & checked the IMEI & service number. But they couldnt do anything more.
and told me to speak to the seller of the phone
Is there a solution to this problem without sending the phone back. Can the seller contact AT&T and get them to do anything.
