Does Apple make different iphones for US and European market?

Q. If my iphone bought in the USA will not work with European SIM cards, then how Iphone could be used in Europe and elsewhere (with Sim cards of local operators)? This would mean that Apple makes different types of Iphones for different parts of the world? Is it right?

A. Your phone is almost certainly SIM-locked, meaning it will not work with any SIM card not issued by your home network.
That's the way most phones are sold, especially the discounted ones you get with subscription plans.

It's a software feature, and can be removed if you have the right tools, but doing so is a breach of contract with your provider while the contract lasts (usually 2 years for new phones).

What is happenning to my iPhone and how do i fix it?
Q. My iphone (bought in the Philippines, using in Canada) froze so i pressed the home and unlock button at the same time. I've done that couple of times but last night it said to connect my iphone with itunes so i did. Then, it said to restore it so i did. Then now it says the sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported. Help me please, tell me what to do.

A. just as maryann stated - when you clicked on restore, it got set back to original configuration (probably newer firmware if older than 1.1.4) and now only accepts AT&T sim.

just need to unlock again and you should be fine. just remember not to update/restore thru itunes, otherwise this will happen again.

there's a freeware that we use and it takes less than 5 minutes with your exisitng data cable. do a search on a major search engine and you should find it. it's the same software that some are selling for $$$ on some auction sites.

good luck
