According to a few readers and a post by K.thekuwaiti, Zain has acknowledged the issue with the iPhone and is trying to fix it. One comment on K’s blog even states the iPhone should be working with Zain by 3PM today. If thats true it would be perfect timing since Nat should be collecting her iPhone today from U Shop We Ship.
Update: It is now confirmed, as of 3PM today the iPhone started working with the Zain network. Thank you to everyone at Zain who helped out in updating the network to support unlocked iPhones.

i think apple is releasing an update to re-lock the iphone from the softwares unlocking it here and there ,,
thats the only reason why i didnt buy one yet
iPhone now works with Zain.
Enjoy! 🙂
You don’t have to update it .
why are you people so obsessed with iphone, I am sure its going to suck , especially after a couple of days from using it .. .. ..
Unless the update brings better features!
Guys I have some questions for all that have an iphone… 1. Whats so special about iphone?
2. are you the type of person that always buys the latest technology?
3. if apple launched the i-wii-360-ps3-phone would you buy it?
P.s
give me a sec while i put up a shield for the attacks 🙂
Any body can confirm Zain ?
bb .. Apple want to sell more & more iphones so i think the re-lock update is a pointless for Apple
Perfect Timing!
iPhone patch has been applied to Zain Network.
Enjoy Your iPhone with Zain.

i personaly think that Apple released the Unlock software .. 😉
(without anyone knowing about it ofcourse!)
it has already collected it’s money from AT&T and helped AT&T re-launch .. people we unlocking it physicaly anyway and will contiue to try to unlock it all over the world .. so why not sell my iphnes .. sign with international telecom companies anyway! and still sell more iphones.. so that by te end of the year .. they will release a nw product in the US and the iphone will get shipped internationlly to the people who signed .. and if they refuse to sign .. then apple wont ship the iphone out to anyone … and people will stil be buying from apple.com and Vodafone or orange will not get the nice fat distributor discounts on the iphones if they were to sign up to be re-sellers 🙂
just a thought ..
i second what anas said.
its Working now ….. WOW love it

i’ve had the iphone for 3 days it’s old news by now, already bored of it. gimme a call dude i might let u borrow it for a while to show to nat or something until she gets hers next week or so.
me 3 🙂
and mabroooooook , bs el7een kl el iphones automatically !! or its need programing ??
Holla,,, how much do you charge per day?
Is it possible you’re trying to recover the cost!
i am @ Apple store in Marina Mall (Abu Dhabi) and i wished if they would have it here so i would directly buy it! 🙁
Did you get it ? USWS has been telling me its in the airport for 2 days now, mine shipped on 15th.
THey managed to release everything today from customs and they will be delivering the packages tomorrow. Yes they are working on a Friday so they can deliver the packages to everyone. Aramex on the other hand wont be able to clear its packages from customs until next tuesday!
MARK !!! u have to give us a review !!!
MARK even for the unlocking steps !
Mabroooook, iphone now working with MTC cards, in and out calls, no need to change the cards
Zain works 100% with the iPhone since around 4PM today.
hey mark..
is it working 100% perfectly.. i mean does anything not work? and how do u crack it?
i love how zain updated there network just because the problem was mentioned here “because you ordered one and wanted it to work with zain , that’s power for ya! , I’m not hating mark you deserved it you worked hard on this blog and you deserve all the power you generate from it “not to mentioned the money” LOL
again I’m not hating only congratiolating
Damon I doubt this blog had anything to do with it. What most likely happened is a bunch of guys who work at Zain ordered iPhones and when it wouldn’t work with their own network they went ahead and fixed it.
sweet… now thats going to be interesting!
Lets see how many more people use the iPhone at this point!
Useless iphone!You are all trying hard to be at par with technology!What a shame!
Mark i installed my MTC sim and your you-know-who called me to invite me for late rendezvous. so i guess it works with bezzzain now.
To every one who use it does send and recieve arabic SMS, If no then how can it be solved
Mark
does Iapple sends and recieves Arabic SMS, If no then how can it be solved
M.u.D.1./.2
i dont think so. those ppl are crazy and they have a strategy.
look at the 100 $ rebate they gave to customers. i can assure you that this chinese made iphone, designed in califorina woudlent cross 100$ as its real price.
there are 2 independent arab programmers working to arabise the iphone. so far they got it working but it’s not cursive most of the time, they will have a full download soon.
I imagine that when the iphoen releases internationally it will come with arabic support since all phones do. it doesn’t now bc it’s not even supposed to work outside the US.
Arabic will screw up the iPhone..
did USWS deliver the iphone? i didnt get mine , it was shipped on the 15
waa a5eeeeran !!
I am using the iPhone and its so amaizing i swear i cant let go! and now that it works with “Zain” im even happier! looool
Rania enjoy it ! 🙂
both networks are working in fine i tried youtube with wataniya and its working fine .. and if any one need any help in unlocking the iphone let me know ..
([email protected])
p.s arbic is not working at all and some ppl is taring to make it work .. but until now the reset are not too good
Please give further ideas on how iPhone worked on Zain network. In Bahrain, iPhone is not working with Zain (cannot receive calls), please advice with details. Thanks.
Mark.. does the iphone support bluetooth and wireless connection? plz inform me about it when you receive your Iphone and wither or not it works in Kuwait.
It works in kuwait, havent tried the bluetooth stuff yet
hey mark have u considered getting a case or sleeve for the iphone? if u did which one are u thinking about? the orion sleeves at amazon seem good.
Thanks Mark.. if you try it just inform me about the wireless and bluetooth.
Jane nat is actually trying to decide between the pink or black Orion sleeve, they seem to be the best we could find on Amazon.
i forgot to say that bluetooth that is install on the iphone is not compatable with most of the bluetooth on other phones .. i trided the sony and samsong its not working
xcarlos.. what about the connection to the car bluetooth?
Ohhh Gooosh.. after replacing my order with apple store I received an email regreting my order 🙁
I did it with aramex and KFH visa card.
well looks like the iphone is locked again…nasty 🙁
Hay people,
