Why you should unlock your iPhone 13

A network lock is a software code you can’t see that instructs your phone to work only on one network. If your iPhone 13 is network locked you won’t be able to use it with another network. Unlocking your iPhone 13 comes with many benefits. Plus, it’s completely legal and easy to do too. All you need is the IMEI number of your phone.

What's an IMEI, and where can I find it?

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity. It’s a unique 15-digit number that links a device with the SIM card inside the device. The first 14 digits are defined by the GSM Association. The last digit is generated by an algorithm. There’s a record of every IMEI stored centrally in a database called the Equipment Identity Register (EIR). It’s used by mobile operating systems to determine if a device has a network lock on it. And, if so, what network it’s tied to.

Your IMEI is like your phone’s fingerprint. It’s completely unique and every phone has one. Unlike a SIM card which is linked to a user, and can be transferred from one phone to another, if unlocked, your IMEI is fixed to your device.

You can find your IMEI using your phone. Just type *#06# into your cell phone keypad, look for it in the ‘Settings’ menu, or locate it under the battery. It will also be on your SIM card.

You can’t unlock your iPhone without having your IMEI number. But the frustrating thing is, even if you know your IMEI, you won’t be able to manually activate a network unlock yourself. The process can only take place through the central manufacturers database. Which is why you need whitelisted software like Mobile Unlocked that has direct access.

How to unlock your iPhone 13 Pro Max

Whether it's Virgin, Telstra or Optus, the mobile market’s vast and full of different providers offering different deals. Being able to pick and choose from those providers to find a package that’s right for you makes sense. But if you’ve got a locked iPhone 13 you can’t switch network simply by inserting a new SIM. Your device needs to be unlocked first.

You can tell if your phone’s locked by inserting a new SIM card. If, after inserting a new SIM into your iPhone 13, you see the message: ‘SIM not supported’, it means your iPhone 13 is locked. The good news is, to activate your iPhone 13 unlock online, all we need is your IMEI number.

Using an authorized process called 'whitelisting', our software searches the Apple database (whitelisting) using the IMEI number of your iPhone device. Once it's located it removes the lock from the database.

Apple phones are automatically and permanently unlocked 'over the air' using Wi Fi. So you won't be sent an unlock code or promo code to input. All you need to do is insert your new SIM card and your iPhone model will update and unlock when you turn it on.



Unlock iPhone 13


Mobile Unlocked’s process is so quick and seamless because it’s so simple. And remote from start to finish. There’s no admin to contend with. There are no identity and authorization checks to meet. And your phone stays with you the whole time, so there’s no break in service. Plus the result is permanent, and won’t affect your warranty or be affected by software updates. It also works on both the GSM network and CDMA network.



Can you also unlock iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max and other iPhone models?

How to screen unlock iPhone 13 without passcode or Face ID

See this guide on how to unlock iPhone using all device types.

Forgotten your passcode? Haven’t enabled Face ID? Or acquired the phone from someone else and don’t know the login details? You can unlock your phone's lock screen using iTunes or the ‘Find My’ app. Both options will activate a factory reset which wipes your iPhone's data and settings so remember to back up your data first.


Restore factory settings using iTunes

  • Connect your iPhone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed.
  • Click the iPhone icon in the top left corner of the iTunes window.
  • Select ‘Summary' on the left-hand side of the screen.
  • Click the 'Restore iPhone' button twice

TIP: If your computer has never synced your iPhone to iTunes before you’ll need to put it into ‘Recovery Mode’ by:

  • Turning the device off (hold the 'Volume Up', 'Volume Down' and 'Side' buttons down at the same time and release when you see the 'Power Off' slider).
  • Connecting to a computer while holding down the 'Side' button.

Restore factory settings using ‘Find My’ app

  • Open a browser on another iOS device with the ‘Find My’ app installed.
  • Log in with your Apple ID and password.
  • Click on ‘All Devices’.
  • Select your locked iPhone 13, locked iPhone 13 Pro or locked iPhone Pro Max from the map.
  • Click ‘Erase iPhone’.

How to unlock iPhone 13 FAQs


  • How do I submit an unlock request?

    The quickest and easiest way to request a network unlock your iPhone 13 is to let us do it for you because all we need is your IMEI. Which means we'll have your device unlocked in just a few hours. To permanently unlock your iPhone 13 yourself and use it with another network you’ll need to put in an unlock request to your network's customer service and follow the device unlocking process defined by your provider. You’ll be checked to ensure you fulfil their eligibility requirements. And have to pass a number of different identity and authorization checks. The process is a little different for deployed military personnel.

  • What's a mobile device unlock?

    A mobile device unlock will unlock your phone so you can switch over to other cell phone plans. To unlock your phone so that it's no longer tied to a network requires a network unlock code. Our software scans the Apple manufacturing database to whitelist and release it from its network. permanently

  • How do I find my IMEI?

    To locate your IMEI, type *#06# into your smartphone and it will appear on the screen. You can also find it by going to ‘Settings/About Phone/Status/IMEI Information’. Or by looking at the white label under your phone’s battery.

  • I’ve got a new phone but want to keep my phone number. Can you help?

    Your SIM card holds your phone number. To use your SIM and keep your number while moving to a locked handset, you will have to unlock your new device. We can help you unlock a cell phone from other networks, such as Optus, Telstra and Three Mobile. No need to buy a new SIM card, just unlock the new device to use your SIM card and keep your phone number.

  • I don’t know what network I'm on. Can you help?

    Yes. If you’re unsure of what network your iPhone is locked to we can run a network check for you. Just type in your phone’s make and IMEI number (you can find this out by typing *#06# into your phone) and submit. We’ll then send you the findings of your network check report in an email.

Amazing!

Thank you MobileUnlocked! This was a much cheaper alternative to buying a new iPhone Pro Max! It couldn’t have been easier to unlock with MobileUnlocked, all I had to do was provide my imei number (it’s so simple and they clearly show you how to do this) and that was that. Amazing service – 100% would recommend!

Tim Lewis 18/04/2023

Super Quick!

It was such a simple and cost effective process! My iPhone Xs was unlocked within no time and I will be returning to unlock my new Apple Watch 4.

Jeffery Brook 15/10/2023

I thought it would be complicated!

I can’t believe how quickly MobileUnlocked handled my request. Looking online, I read it can take up to 60 days to unlock a device, but MobileUnlocked unlocked my iPhone 14 Pro Max in under 24 hours! Fantastic service which I would highly recommend.

Dang Lee 21/07/2022

Really Easy Process

So quick and simple! I followed the simple instructions MobileUnlocked provided and within 12 hours of placing my order my phone was unlocked. I would recommend this service to everyone and I will certainly be coming back when I need to unlock my next new phone.

Such amazing company!

MobileUnlocked are such a fantastic company! They don’t overcomplicate or overcharge, and their staff were both friendly and informative. My phone was successfully unlocked within hours, saving me both time and money. Highly recommend.

Flawless

I can’t fault my experience with MobileUnlocked. I followed the clear and simple instructions on their website and my request was carried out the following morning. The service couldn’t have been easier, and the instructions couldn’t have been clearer. My phone is now unlocked and I can’t recommend this company enough.

V Heggie 07/09/2022
