How to unlock a Verizon 4s to be used in the US?

Hi, I have a Verizon iPhone 4s that I purchased from a friend of mine who upgraded to the 5s. Unfortunately, the phone is locked to the Verizon network, and I'm currently a Tmobile customer in the United States. How can I unlock the Verizon phone to be used on the US Tmobile network? Can either me or my friend ask Verizon to do it, or should I go through a third party site? If it's a third party site, which is a reliable one that I can use? Thanks for your help!

Contact Verizon. They are the only ones who can unlock the phone from their network. T-Mobile is a GSM network, so you can only use the phone on their network if it's a GSM phone, but Verizon is a CDMA network.

  • I bought an iphone 5 unlocked from verizon. Can i use it in Greece with vodafone carrier?

    I bought an iphone 5 unlocked from verizon. Can i use it in Greece with vodafone carrier? or is ti better to buy on from AT&T?

    Verizon is cdma - no sims card       Att is simms card based   I would contact Vodaphone and get their opinion of the situation (i believe there technology is sims based)   http://www.vodafone.co.uk/personal/index.htm  to help you make the correct decision.
    I would also explore the unlocked option with them (greece vodaphone) and a states based carrier (att) so you can use the phone in the states and eu if you travel

  • How do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    how do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    You can simply sign out and sign in with the different ID. However, if you have any protected media - movies, or songs purchased before they stopped protecting them - you will not be able to play them, so in that case you are rather stuck.
    You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs. Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream; use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • How do I get my Samsung S4 phone unlocked by Verizon for oversea travel using local GSM sim

    I just got my new Samsung S4 phone and need to know how to get this phone unlocked by Verizon so that I can use the local GSM sim card when I am out of the country.  In reading some of the community posting,  it sounds like Verizon has to unlock my phone before I can use it for GSM.  I put in a China Mobile sim card and it keeps telling me that this is a " non-Verizon SIM - This sim card is from an unknown source"  and I cannot use the local SIM on my phone at all.
    Please help.
    leongss

    Yes,
    I have selected global mode in the Mobile Networks setting.  Network Operators is greyed out for me to select China Mobile as the SIM card carrier that I inserted and replaced the Verizon LTE SIM card.
    What else can I do to make the local SIM work on my S4 phone.   It still show China Mobile not available.
    Thanks

    Did you erase it before you sold it?

    Or did you leave all your personal info on it and give it to someone else?

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • How do I install my own fonts to use in the adobe creative cloud?

    I have fonts that I have downloaded and used in a previous file but are not installed within the typekit.  Is there a way to load them into the creative cloud so that I can continue using the same font with the creative cloud? 

    Hi lsiggins
    Typekit is not font management software; it is a library of fonts that you can sync to your desktop to use alongside the fonts that you have installed locally. This tutorial shows how it works:
    http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1145956
    You will not upload your other desktop fonts to Typekit. You'll continue to manage them locally in Font Book, Suitcase Fusion, or another font management software.
    I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions. Best,

  • How to unlock my verizon iPhone (contract over) to use it with straight talk?

    My contract with Verizon has expired I would like to use mi iPhone with straight talk some people told me that I have to unlock my phone…please help me with real solutions!!!

    You can't. The Verizon iPhone 4S can not be used with any US carrier other than Verizon. If you want to use StraightTalk, sell the Verizon phone and buy a StraightTalk iPhone. They are a supported CDMA carrier. Neither StraightTalk, nor Apple support using an unlocked phone on Straight Talk.

  • In Acrobat Reader DC for Android, how do I prevent Verizon Cloud from launching when clicking the floating action button to retrieve files?

    I have a Verizon-branded Samsung Galaxy S5, which means a lot of Verizon apps were added from the factory install.
    Recently I upgraded Adobe Acrobat Reader to its most recent version.
    When I clicked on the floating action button to open a PDF, it launched Verizon Cloud instead of showing my file directory.
    Unless I disabled Verizon Cloud altogether, every time I did this, I would get the Verizon Cloud app instead of a file listing.
    Reader DC is the only app that does such a thing. Is this a defect?

    Thanks for the information.
    To remove the Verizon cloud storage from Adobe Acrobat DC application, you can 'Turn off' the Verizon cloud application from 'Settings'-->'Application Manager'-->'All applications'. After doing this, every time you tap on the Floating Action button, you will be presented the list of all your pdf files on your device.
    If you would like to view both the Verizon cloud based files as well as files from your internal memory/SD card, I would request you to download some file manager application from the Google Play Store such as And Explorer, ES File Explorer etc. After doing this, whenever you will tap on the floating action button, you will be provided an option to open the files either from the Verizon cloud or the files on your device.
    Hope this helps. Please let us know if you observe any more issues.
    Thanks.

    I found it and i dont know the password and i hope you guys can
    Help to unlock it

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
      1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
      2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

  • How to unlock MacBook Air that was purchased used

    I just purchased a MacBook Air from RAC. I opened it and the previous user, or a employee at RAC hadn't closed things down. As I was closing things getting ready to try and reset it. The computer returned to the log in page. Now the computer is locked and I have no idea what to do. I am not wanting to reset completely to factory settings because the previous owner put a very expensive program on it that I would like to keep.
    I have no idea what year it is or any other info like operating system

    Has the previous owner relinquished registration of the Air to him/her?
    You should be able to register the device at that time with YOUR apple ID, thus satisfying the system's request for a valid Apple ID that owns the resident copy of Mountain Lion (if the system came with it).
    The old user can go on Apple's website to edit your Support Profile to delete ownership registration of the product(s).
    The new user, you, then simply registers your "new" device, also online. Once the old owner has deleted ownership, the serial number is freed for a user (new owner) to add it. The new owner should have an Apple ID first, which I imagine you do, since you login here with that ID.
