dean Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I bought my airline ticket and will be arriving at BKK on May 21 (actually, May 20 at 11:15PM). I leave at 6:00PM on Air Asia for Chiang Mai, for 3 weeks of working on my house (actually, having other people work on it, mainly tearing down a perimeter wall that is leaning and correctly re-building it). The day I have in Bangkok, I may go to Rutnin Eye Hospital to have my eyes examined and will go to MBK, to have my IPad screen replaced (7 year old son dropped it). A friend in Chiang Mai, who will probably oversee the latter stages of the wall and a few other projects at the house, has asked me to buy her an IPhone 6 (I knew that I should not have given her an IPad two years ago). Looking on EBAY, I see lots of phones in the $450-700 range (I won't be buying those). There are many with cracked screens, in the $80-200 range. I assume that if Apple charges $109 to replace the screen, I can find a shop at MBK to do it for less. I also have seen on EBAY many IPhone 6's for sell that are locked. Has anyone found a shop in Bangkok that can unlock them? Any suggestions of shops, both at MBK and elsewhere, would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon46 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 If you have an locked IPhone 6 and are looking to have it unlocked, you can go to eBay to a number of services, some are as low as $1.99, to unlocked your phone. You have to identify the carrier (Verizon, ATT) and provide the IMEI number first. I had my phone (not an IPhone) unlocked using eBay and in Bangkok bought a local SIM card for my phone.

baa99 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Caution. Apple can send a kill signal to iPhones that have been reported stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Is it easier to unlock a T Mobile, over Version or Sprint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
