How to use a Verizon iPhone 4 with an Australian Telstra Sim Card

i bought an iPhone 4 off eBay from the USA. the carrier is Verizon 12.0 but i want to use my Australian Telstra Pre-paid sim in it. how do i do this??

If it is a Verizon iPhone 4 there is not slot for a microSIM so you wouldn't be able to make it work anyway. To unlock a Verizon phone you have to be a current customer in good standing.

  • Can I use a Verizon iPhone 5S with a Japanese au SIM?

    I was wondering if anyone knows if I can use a Verizon iPhone 5S on Japan's au with an au SIM card???
    (Verizon iPhone 5S comes factory unlocked and freely accepts GSM nano SIMs from other US carriers. This question is specifically for people with firsthand knowledge of American phones working on Japanese networks with Japanese SIM cards.)
    I'll be living in Japan for just 7 more months, so it doesn't make sense to buy an impossible-to-unlock Japanese iPhone now. I'll be back on Verizon when I move back to the States, so if I can use an American Verizon phone on au, I would love to buy one right now while I'm home in Hawaii for the holidays.

    You can't. Doing so is not supported.

  • How to use my Verizon iPhone 4s in America and China - is jailbreaking the only option?

    Disclaimer: I'm not the most tech-savvy so forgive me if my terminology is incorrect! 
    I have a Verizon iPhone 4s with latest iOS update. I have relocated to China for work and would like to use it here. Have gotten my SIM unlocked but cannot use it without accruing ridiculous fees. Verizon uses CDMA and China is GSM, I believe. I've been told that if I get my phone jailbroken here, I can use it with a Chinese SIM but I am wondering if I can still use it back in America with my original Verizon number. Since I work back and forth China-US and am traveling, it's important I can use my phone.
    I'm very nervous about jail breaking, as it seems a little unethical to me...but I'm wondering if that's my only option. How can I retain my American and Chinese phone numbers and still use my phones? Should I just invest in buying a new iPhone 5 so that I can use it internationally?
    Am wondering if anyone here has had similar experiences. Would appreciate any and all help. Thanks so much!

    Verizon does not unlock the iPhone 4S for use on U.S. GSM carriers, only for foreign roaming.

  • How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint. The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
    The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    There is no such thing as an unlock code.   Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

  • I want to use my verizon iphone 4 with another carrier

    how can i use my iphone 4 with another carrier?

    Did you read the question properly?  The OP has a Verizon iPhone 4, so obviously they have a CDMA phone because Verizon is a CDMA carrier.
    They will not be able to use the phone with any other carrier but Verizon and also the Verizon iPhone does not have a sim card tray.

  • Can i change my existing sim card on my iphone 4 with a completely new sim card, without losing information, icloud info etc?

    Getting a completely new sim card but same network this week. I have an iPhone 4. Once i receive the new sim card, will my photos, music, contacts etc still be there with the new sim card in the iphoine? Will my icloud be the same etc? How would i transfer it over if i have to? or will nothing change ? thanks

    Yes, you can change your sim card and not lose pictures, etc.  The only thing the sim card holds is carrier settings.  That said, just to make sure you are completely safe, backup your phone before you replace the sim.  If anything goes wrong (it shouldn't), you'll have everything in your backup.

  • HT201328 How to unlock iphone before you get a new sim card?

    I read the article on unlocking the iphone 4, and got permission from the carrier to unlock it.  But the instruction assume you already have a 2nd / diferent sim card.  How do you unlock the iphone before you get a new sim card?  I.e, as in unlocking it before going overseas where you will purchase a country specific sim card? 
    Thanks,
    Bobj.

    I restored my AT&T locked iPhone without a different sim, & got the congratulations screen. So, do this:
    1. Sync your phone to create a current backup.
    2. When finished, hit the "Restore" button.
    3. When done, you should get the "Congratulations" screen.
    4. If you do, restore your phone from the backup you made when you started.
    5. Sync your content back to your phone.
    That's it. You're done.

    A Verizon corporate store can provide you with a nano SIM and activate it for you. Corporate stores do not charge for SIMS. I don't know what a reseller might or might not do.

  • Is it possible to use a Verizon iphone with SIM card?

    I am due for an upgrade from an iphone4 (from Verizon) but am moving to New Zealand where they use SIM cards... If I upgrade to a 5s or 5c will I be able to use it internationally?

    The 5 series all have sim cards and unlocked GSM radios.  But, if you move to NZ with an iPhone purchased in the US you will have no warranty or service support from Apple.  That is only valid in the country of purchase.

  • Can i use my iPad, iPhone, Mac with 2 independant iCloud accounts (private, business) simultanuously ? How ?

    can i use my iPad, iPhone, Mac with 2  iCloud accounts (private, business) simultanuously ? How ?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes you can do that, however you can only have one primary account. You will need to set one account up as a secondary account and choose which account you wish to do this with, since you can only use mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders with a secondary account.
    On your Mac, you would enter the account at system preferences> mail, contacts & calendars, on your mobile device you would enter your account at settings> mail, contacts, calendars.

  • If i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost

    Hi,
    if i buy iphone 5 from the usa can i take it back and use it with my UK O2 sim card and also how much will a 16gb iphone 5 cost in the usa?
    thanks
    Andy

    hi there,
    you could buy it somewhere in Europe. I know Apple sells them unlocked here in Germany and if I am not mistaken also (among others) in France and Italy.
    Yet, as Peter wrote, the warranty can become a problem. Not sure whether a one country only rule goes for the European Community as well though.
    As for the price, the 16 GB model costs 679,- € (equals roughly 550 £). Currently there is an average delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks.
    LTE connections will not work with Orange or Vodafone. Only EE is about to offer a compatible LTE network. DC-HSPA and regular HSPA+ will work fine.
    regards, Chris
