iPhone 6 plus

Now, for unlocking an Apple iPhone 6 plus multiple methods were used. In the previous years, there were two methods of unlocking which were prevalent. They were the hardware and the software method. The hardware method of unlocking was usually carried out by the owner itself or third party customer care services. For this method, the various parts had to be configured as per the requirements of the owner. Now, if the third party customer care is skilful then you might end up in being lucky. However, most of the handsets got damaged due to faulty pairing because of hardware unlocking method.

The second method that was prevalent was the software unlocking method. Here, consumers tried to internally configure the operating system of the handset. In doing so, they often ended up in damaging the OS which created an unwanted pressure on the Apple’s tech base. All the damaged products within the warranty period had to be fixed by apple for free of cost which led to a huge expenditure on their part. So, this method was only valid until the launch of the iPhone 4. As this phone launched, Apple decided to declare software unlocking as an illegal method. They clearly stated that any damage to the handset caused by this method of unlocking will not be apple’s responsibility even if the handset is within the warranty period.

They made their customers sign this legal agreement before purchasing an iPhone. So, after these two methods got obsolete, the third method of unlocking was discovered. To get your Apple iPhone 6 plus unlock, you can now avail the third method which is absolutely legal and authentic. This method is known as the IMEI unlocking method. In this method, you neither tamper the hardware of the phone by unnecessarily experimenting with it nor do you internally disrupt its software.

To avail of this method, first, find out the unlock codes or the IMEI number by dialling *#06# from your handset. Contact a licensed expert or the Apple store directly to avail of this service. Submit the IMEI number to the expert to allow him to access the master database. The master database compiles all the IMEI of all the Apple handsets. He will know when the handset was manufactured, the internal memory size and the colour of the handset along with the status of the phone.

As soon as the expert changes the status of the phone from locked to unlocked, your handset will be allowed to pair up with any other network provider you want. This is the legal method of unlocking which safe and hassle-free and takes a maximum of 3 working days.
