How to unlock your iPhone for use with another carrier

Unlock your iPhone

First, your carrier will need to process your unlock request. Then you'll back up, erase, and restore your iPhone to unlock it.
Start the process:
  1. See if your carrier offers unlocking. Only your carrier can unlock your iPhone.
  2. Contact your carrier and request an unlock. You might need to meet requirements to qualify for unlocking. After you submit the request to your carrier, it might take a few days to complete. Contact your carrier for the status of your unlock request.
  3. After your carrier confirms that your iPhone unlock has been processed, go to the next section.
If you have a SIM card from a carrier other than your current carrier, follow these steps:
  1. Remove your SIM card and insert the new SIM card.
  2. Complete the setup process.
If you don't have another SIM card you can use, follow these steps to complete the process:
  1. Back up your iPhone.
  2. When you have a backup, erase your iPhone.
  3. Restore your iPhone from the backup you just made.

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt The museum's main entrance. For many people, The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is the Holy Grail of museums. Over 150,000 relics from ancient Egypt are packed into this scruffy, salmon-colored giant, including some of the most precious artifacts known to man. To put the enormity of the museum's collection into perspective, consider this: if you spent one minute looking at each piece, you'd be there around-the-clock for nine months. I don’t have nine months to spare, but I did manage to spend two days exploring the museum. Here are the things I admired most: Granite statue of Chephren , builder of the second pyramid at Giza. Falcon god Horus provides protection (and a little love). This beauty is a whopping 4,500 years old. Wooden statue of Ka-Aper. Also around 4,500 years old, this statue is carved out of a single piece of sycamore. He's kind of an intense fellow. Museum patrons . It's fun to check

By just using   Google Translate , everyone's favorite online translator for text and foreign websites, you can actually recreate a pretty spectacular beatbox with a few nifty "word" creations.
