HT1430 my iPhone 4 shows sprint as my carrier but net10 is my provider and gave me the working phone number i have
My husband has an iphone4 and I used the Net10 byop package and it activated and they gave me the phone number and it worked immediately exept it states on home screen SPRINT!
(This phone came from a family member that no longer was using it. There was no service active on it when we received it, but activated it with the CDMA option from the BYOP package we purchased since there was no sim.) Thought you might want that info if you are able to help me!!
I went to the "about" section under settings and it shows sprint there also. How is this possible and how is the net10 service working when they are not tied to Sprint? I will say that the reception with net10 and this phone is horrible compared to the previous phone that my husband was using before we switched him to the iphone and before he had excellent reception most anywhere we were.
I really need help figuring this out and have read numerous articles but nothing can tell me how to change these settings or what i should do exactly.
Thanks for you time, it will be greatly appreciated!!
Net10 use ATT,T-Mobile for GMS phones and Verizon and Sprint for CDMA since your IPHONE is from sprint they are using the sprint network to give you the service you are using; that is why in the carrier it says Sprint.

my iphone wonbt charge let it die but now it wont charge and it did the same thing after i restored it
Resetting the Logic Board
Resetting the logic board can resolve many system problems. Whenever you have a
unit that fails to power up, you should follow this procedure
before replacing any modules.
1 Unplug the computer.
2 Press the Power On button on the front of the unit.
3 Open the side access panel.
4 Remove the battery from the logic board.
5 Wait at least 10 minutes before replacing the battery.
6 Make sure the battery is installed in the correct +/-
direction.
7 Reassemble the computer and test the unit.

i have a new iphone 5c replacing my iphone 4s. I backed up my 4s info on iCloud and then activated the new phone and downloaded from iclould. I then erased all info on my old 4s. However, I still can't get cellular service on my new phone. help!
Keep powering your phone off and back on, it can take up to 2 hours for a normal service provider to finalize the activation process. When you got your new iPhone (congrats by the way) you should have received a little bubble that appeared that told you when the phone was activated, did you see that?

So my iPhone 4S stopped ringing, and I was missing all of my calls. The speaker works, it's not on silent, and I'd exhausted most every other option (messing around with accessibility options and various soft resets), to no avail.
So I reset it to factory settings, logged in with my Apple ID, and lo and behold, my backup failed to take. All my apps got restored, but my texts and all of my pictures are missing.
So here's what I want to find out.
1. Does the reset procedure involve writing over all old information with 0s?
2. If not, is it possible to recover the data, in full or in part, through some alternative methods?
The phone is out of warranty, so I'm willing to try whatever it may take to get this data back.
Thanks in advance.Apps have never been included in the backup, so is there actually a backup?
Have you failed to use the device as designed, meaning syncing contacts to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service?
There are some 3rd party programs that claim to be able to extract data (like sms) from a backup, try a google search.
Unless you're willing to spend and extremely large amount of money, there is no way to recover the data that may still exist on the iPhone. -
My iPhone 4 shows the carrier name, I can go online with my data plan, but there are no bars and I can't make phone calls.
It worked for some time, less than a week, I made phone calls and all, and all of a sudden the problem mentioned above happened. Now I can't make any phone calls. I can go online with it, even with my Data plan, I can go to the app store (of course) but can't make any phone calls.
Please help, this is frustrating.Did you already try the troubleshooting mentioned here? http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/
Also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple lo comes up again. You will not lose any data doing this.

HT4993 Hi I got 32 gb iphone 5 sprint line from America but using Turkey and send sms problem
Hi
I got 32 gb iphone 5 sprint line from America but using Turkey and send sms problemDid you request that Sprint unlock the phone?
If so, did they? Did you follow the process to complete the unlock by restoring as new?
Did you get the message indicating the iPhone is unlocked? -
help can't update my iphone 4s sprint to ios 6 because it exit automatically on about 75% of the installotion over the air and itunes ...
So what happened to the phone during the process? It should have gone black and restarted a couple of times and there would have been a white progress bar as the update installed. Sounds to me like you've downloaded the update file but not actually installed it. The quickest way to see version of the software is installed is to go to Settings-General-About and check Version.

My apps store will not go online with verizon network, but on wifi it works. I am on an iphone 4, verizon. I tried to do a complete, backup and restore on the phone 1 day before i noticed this problem, The backup finished but the RESTORE would fail I had an error, could not access Apple server ( some server name I cant remember).
I have plenty of space available on the iphone,
8gb free,
ios version- 6.1.3 ( 10B329)
carrier - Verizon 14.0
Modem Firmware - 3.0.04
Can someone help.
I tried doing my backup restore on the same computer as I once did a year ago. and THis time I cant do the restore on the iphone.
computer osx is 10.5.8
itunes version 10.
I do not wish to go to ios 7 at this time.Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue continues, contact the carrier to troubleshoot the network connectivity issues. -
When i open up itunes on my computer, it says that i have 2 videos but when i sync it and check my ipod touch, it says i have no videos so it only shows up on my computer but not on my iPod touch and its a 4th Generation.
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
Can find my iPhone be turned on remotely? I had it turned off, and twice in the last month I've found that it is turned on and someone was tracking my location. I'm a little freaked out! Is there any way that someone could be turning "find my iPhone" on remotely? I was under the assumption that the only way to turn the service on was from my phone itself.. Is there any way that my phone is somehow resetting itself to a time when the app was turned on? I'm just grabbing straws here... I have no idea. I just know that the location arrow came on at the top of my phone, and it showed that someone was tracking my phone at that very moment... Any help would be appreciated!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Find my phone can only be enabled from the device itself. -
Im from Spain, but If Im in US and I buy the new Iphone 5, I dont know If later I could use it normally in Spain?
There are some problems now? Or forever?
ThanksCurrently, the iPhones available in the U.S. are locked to american carriers so they cannot be used with other carriers anywhere else.
An Unlocked version of the iPhone should be released some time soon, though no actual date has been given yet.
The Unlocked phone should let you use a sim from any carrier in the phone and have it work.
However, it is up to the cell carriers in Spain wether or not they have Nano sims for sale to be used with an iPhone 5. If they do you may be able to purchase an unlocked Phone and use a sim card from a carrier in spain.
Talk to your carrier first to make sure they have Nano sims available for purchase. -
I have unlocked iphone and got walmart family mobile. I was issued a phone number initially then asked for a different one. Now when I send text messages, they show up the original number, but when I make phone calls, the id shows up the new number, I can recieve text messages to both numbers. If you try to call the first number it says it is not a working number. On my phone, if I go under "about" it says "my phone number" and it says the second number, under settings, and messaging, it says that I send and recieve messages from the original one. T-mobile, has no idea why this is happening and has tried everything to fix it
This is for iMessages only, not for text messages as in SMS/MMS.
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID.
Select your Apple ID and at the menu window that appears, select Sign Out.
Turn iMessage off at Settings > Messages > iMessage.
Then follow these instructions.
You can remove an iPhone from your support profile by following these steps.
Step 1: Click on this link to open the login window of your support profile.
Step 2: Log into the website using your Apple ID – same as your iTunes login.
Step 3: Click on the button ‘Edit products’ and select the iPhone that you want to remove from the list.
Step 4: Click on the arrow behind the product, and then click on the button ‘Unregister’ to delete the iPhone from your support profile.
After you unregister your iPhone, on your iPhone go to Settings > Messages > iMessage and turn iMessage on.
Go to Settings < Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID. Sign back in with your Apple ID.
This should re-register your iPhone with your Apple ID with iMessage with the new phone number only. -
I cant back up my iPhone, as it needs a password but my screen is broken and i cant put in a password, is there anyways around this situation
If your phone is locked because you entered passcode wrong too many times then you need to restore as new and data will be lost
