HT1937 how do I get sprint to give me the unlock code

I purchased an Sprint Iphone 4 on craigslist I want to have it activated on boost mobile but Im being told I need to have phone unlocked, I called Sprint and Im getting the run around what is my next step

Only the original owner of an iPhone can request it be unlocked.
That aside, the iPhone 4 was produced in two models: the CDMA one (for companies like Sprint and Verizon in the US) and the GSM one (for AT&T).
The CDMA model cannot be used with another network.

  • Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

    Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2  year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy.  Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me.  These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE??  WHY?   A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones...  Please tell me why?  All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
    Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue.  I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone. 
    A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA.  Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
    I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone.  That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them.  That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with. 
    Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country.  I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
    I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
    A response would be appreciated.
    Thank you.
    An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.

    Defiled:
    I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east.  She travels in missions all over.
    At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone?  AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier.  If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" .  My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T .  I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product.  My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
    Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
    Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
    Thank you for your responses.

  • My three year old was playing with her sisters IPOD and somehow figured out how to lock it. No one knows the unlock code can you soehow reset the device

    My three year old was playing with her sisters IPOD and somehow figured out how to lock it. Now it is locked and noone knows the unlock code, Is there a way to master reset/wipe the unit?

    Gretchen,
    What iPod model does she own?  If it's a Nano, simply connect it to iTunes and restore it. 
    If it's an iPod touch, you will need to connect to iTunes in Recovery Mode and restore it using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • How can I get Apple to give me an activation key for QT Pro that works?

    Stopping at the Genius Bar last night, they suggested I upgrade my QT Viewer to Pro so I could move some of my digital video over to my iPone. I followed the purchase/download instructions and after putting in the activation code, I was NOT redirected to the page to activate the Pro version. I did the usual of retyping ny name, the key and even installed QT Viewer again, all to no avail.
    I caled Apple support this morning and was told to call QT support and have them make my key recognizable. The only problem is the number she gave me for QT support says there is no QT phone support, only web information on frequently asked questions and this forum. I sort of feel like I am going in a circle.
    So if anyone has the magical answer on how I can get Apple to give me an activation key that actually works without being able to speak or email a human support person, I would very much appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    Kirk,
    Thanks again for your suggestions. No, I don't get an
    error message. In fact nothing happens. My name and
    key are typed in and from what I understand, once you
    do that with a real key it directs you to the
    registration page. When I get done entering the
    information the window just sits there without any
    button or option to continue.
    QT Pro is already in the QT (non-pro) you installed and the key (which is a hash of your name in part) allows the Pro features to work.
    No redirect, internet, nothing like that. As such many people have activated and think they haven't. Just look at the menu items and see if the "Pro" logo is shown next to a few (which are greyed out and not available without Pro). If not you are done.

  • How do i get a list of all the apps i have purchased this year

    how do i get a list of all the apps  have purchased this year and how much each app was

    Check your iTunes purchase history (click your email address in the upper right corner in the iTunes App Store-> log in -> click Purchase History).  This gives you a comprehensive list of apps you've purchased.

  • I changed my appleID but iCloud is still using the old one and no place to change it.  How do I get iCloud to update to the new ID?

    I changed my appleID but iCloud is still using the old one and no place to change it.  How do I get iCloud to update to the new ID?

    You have to sign out completely and then sign back in.
    On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.
    On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Your synced data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in (give it time).

  • How can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in?

    how can i get my car to change the track when i am listening to the music on my phone through the line-in? is there a app i can download so it will recognize it? i have a vauxhal astra and the controls are on the steering wheel

    First question is how old is Astra and you are in UK ( well you must be to have a Vauxhall)
    Normally the Radio only has a line in socket  to allow sound
    You have two choices here either a simple cable with a 3.5mm Headphone plus at each end
    or a cable with the headphone plug to place in car's line in plug and a wide Apple socket to fit the base of your iPhone This allegedly gives better sound but  you have to control the iPhone for music selection
    The equipment you need to control the iPhone from the Steering Wheel controls ,which I suspect currently handles radio /Cd  tracks /stations ,is much more complicated it will have to be integrate with the Factory Fitted  radio
    and designed to manage the S/Wheel  controls and translate to the iPhone .
    Fitted into back of radio etc etc
    If car is a recent Vauxhall there may be a kit available from them .but will not be cheap
    Many imponderables you did not give much away in your OP

  • Requested 3 unlocked my Iphone 4 and they're saying they'll give me an unlock code. How to enter it?

    Phone's not activated so...

    That's not how it works. Call them back. They don't give you an unlock code for the iPhone, they submit authorization to Apple to unlock it. You will get a text message when the unlock is ready, then you plug it into iTunes and it will be unlocked.

  • How can I get a new copy of the Voicemail app for my LG Spectrum?

    !Visual Voice Mail - A Visual Voice Mail error has occurred.  Please try again. OK   I've tryed several times with the same message.  I've
    deleted the app from my screen and replaced it from the Apps Library....still the same message.
    I cannot find an answer on MyVerizon.  Any ideas?
    Thank you,

    OK, at least 3 is working.
    I don't know how you have a Tape Recorder icon on your Home Screen. I cannot add one myself. But, I am running Holo Launcher in replacement of the default LG "Optimus" User Interface. It's much better in my opinion.
    Try long pressing the icon and select Edit and maybe you can change some attribute of the icon.
    Another thing you could do, is long-press an empty area of your desktop, to add an icon. Select Shortcut, then Select Contact, and scroll through your contact list and choose the contact that you added for *86.
    You realize if you have voice mail you haven't heard, there is a tape recorder icon in the notification bar, which you touch and pull down, then press it to dial voicemail.
    If that functionality doesn't work, you MIGHT want to consider doing a factory data reset on your device, but that is going to nuke all your personalizations and cause you work to set up again.

  • 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.

  • How do we get Apple to respond to the CD burning problem?

    How do we get Apple's answer to the problem so many of us are having burning CDs?

    Apple responds to problems with their software though KnowledgeBase articles and/or software updates. Except on very, very rare occasions, Apple tech support people will not respond in the Discussions forums. If you want to communicate with Apple tech support directly, you would have to call their tech support forum (the call will not be free).
    Have you seen this KB article?
    iTunes for Windows: Additional troubleshooting for burning issues
    It may not help, but if you haven't seen that article, it's worth a look.
    You might also try as a temporary test disconnecting the Lite-On drive and setting the Samsung as master and then see if you can successfully burn from iTunes.
    Regards.

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

  • When trying to work with Agilent 34401A multimeter (serial RS-232 connection), HP34401A Getting Started.vi gives always the message: "Error 1073807369 occurred at Old VISA Open ".

    Baud rate and parity are set correctly, RS-232 cable is also connected correctly. My QuickBasic program has no problems to read and write to the Multimeter. It is obviously a software problem: the same error is persistent if I disconnect RS-232 cable.
    I downloaded NI-VISA 2.6 for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP frorm digital.ni.com and installed it. But it did not help.
    Thank you in advance
