So as some of u may remember, I was wanting an iPhone 4 that I can gift to a friend of mine in the middle east, they use sim cards there and I thought factory unlocks are just 1000x easier with no hassle for him to use.

Now, is there a way I can double check if the phone is factory unlocked or not? can I find someone who has T-Mobile to slide his sim card in to see or that wouldn't work?

If it works with two different sims without it being jailbroken then is safe to assume its factory unlocked...

best way to do it is restore the iphone then try putting in two different sims, for example one vodafone and another o2. if they both work its factory unlocked

or an easier way you can take the phones serial and ring apple, they will tell you if it is or not
