My iphone 4s is locked verizon usa

wath can i do to unlock my iphone 4s (lock verizon usa)? tanck you!

If you're not a Verizon customer, nothing.  Verizon will unlock the SIM slot of the iPhone 4S ONLY for current Verizon customers in good standing to use while travelling internationally.
If you are a Verizon customer, call them. If you are not, sell the phone to someone in the US who can use it and buy one you can actually use.

    Hello guys I have a question,or rather a problem. how can I detach yourself iPhone operator Verizon USA? I mean as to call and what to say? I live in Ukraine, and the opportunity came up for to buy cheap 4S 16GB. but on Verizon. when I insert the original SIM card Verizon and I try to activate, says: (error occurred activation, if this problem happen again please call at +1................). this is the hour to use it through the R-SIM 9 pro. everything works нормальнои calls and Internet and SMS, but I want to officially unlock. beforehand thank you

    Well, you managed to find this support forum didn't you and you have an internet connection don't you?  Then if you have all these things, go and find the number by going to the Verizon website and it should not be hard to find the number.
    As for speaking English, this is not really our problem and it is surely something that you should have thought about before buying the phone in the first place.
    You also need to know that Verizon in the US is a cdma operator and if you purchased an iPhone 4s, then it should not be locked.  The Verizon 4s comes with a sim card tray that should be unlocked out of the box for use internatinoally on gsm networks, so all you should need to do is open the sim card tray and insert a sim card and you should pick up the local gsm network.
    A cdma phone does not actually use a sim card, so there would be no original sim card with the phone because when it is used in the US it will pick up the Verizon cdma network without a sim card.  The sim card is only for use on a gsm network which will not work in the US, but is designed to work outside the US.  Open the sim card tray and insert your own local sim card and the phone should work and should not be locked.
    Other than this, if you purchased the phone in the first place, it is the responsibility of the previous owner to cancel the Verizon contract.  This is nothing to do with you, so contact the seller and ask them.
    Other wise, go to the Verizon website and look up the number and call them.  As they are the phone company, ultimately, they are the only ones who can help you.

  • After 04 months of purchase of iphone 5 the lock button is too hard. At times its not working at all. The phone has been purchased in USA now I'm not getting service in India. After all whats the point in spending so much amount without any service.

    The warranty says that Apple may restrict service of an iPhone to the country of sale, and any reliable salesperson will tell you that if you tell them that you plan to use the iPhone in another country. Such service restrictions are common with cellphones and are by no means limited to Apple's phones.
    Sorry, but if your iPhone requires service, you will need to send it to someone you know in the US who can get it serviced and then send it back to you.

  • EBay Locked Verizon iPhone 4S - GSM locked SIM - Options?

    I am looking to purchase an iPhone 4S on eBay, where the iPhone is a Verizon CDMA "locked" phone (which is OK as I plan to try it out on Tracfones newer BYOP program (Bring Your Own Phone). I have, or always do check, the iPhones "IMEI / MEID" number with Tracfone/Verizon to see that it is accepted and "clean".
    One iPhone 4S I'm now interested in, the owner says the iPhone 4S is "locked" as far as the GSM goes (SIM card use, and the iPhone does not come with the SIM card). Therefore, I would be able to sign-up with Tracfone for the "CDMA" use (U.S. use), with no problems (as Tracfone uses the Verizon network) ….. However, on trips to Canada, Mexico, or overseas would I be unable to use the iPhone 4S, because the SIM "GSM" is still "locked"?
    What is the best solution to possibly "unlocking" the SIM card "GSM" on the iPhone 4S?  Is this something I would be able to do once the phone is in my possession, or not possible? ... as I am beginning to research is probably the case.
    I know the Federal Government has issued new rules on the "locking" and "unlocking" of phones, but without being the original owner, or Verizon account holder on the eBay phone, I am concerned that if I where to purchase such a "locked" GSM SIM card phone …. that I will be stuck with one that will only have use in the U.S., and not when I'm possibly traveling outside the U.S.
    Any assistance or experience with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Buy an iPhone that's already carrier unlocked.
    Don't waste your time doing otherwise.
    Because only the original carrier can officially unlock the iPhone AND if you qualify.

  • I bought my iPhone 4 locked from USA. I leave in Cyprus and i want to know if there is a way to get it unlocked. Could it be changed to an unlocked one with a fee paid to apple.

    If you purchased the phone from a person, you need to find out which carrier they used and go to them to see if the will unlock it. If you purchased it from a carrier, give them a call to see what they will do.
    Just like atlantabrave said...Apple does not unlock phones.

  • A contract-free iPhone 6 Plus from Verizon could be used in Mexico?

    Hi, I live in Mexico an I will go to WA an NY next month, I would like to buy the Contract-Free iPhone 6 Plus from Verizon, I have heard that if I buy the iPhone of Verizon it will be unlocked and it could be used in Mexico.
    Is this true? What should I ask them to be sure it will work?
      Thanks!!

    No. Verizon does not sell a contract-free iPhone nor one that is unlocked. T-Mobile sells the iPhone contract-free, but it will be locked to T-Mobile's service for 40 days after purchase. Then they can be asked to unlock it.

    Hi Guys,
    Hope you are doing well.
    I live in United Arab Emirates, Dubai.
    I just bought new Iphone 3G in USA during vacation trip, in an apple store in Santa Monica, not linked to any contract ( bought $699).
    Back to Dubai, I cannot register my Iphone on Itunes.
    Is this phone locked ?
    I went to Etisalat (local network provider) and to Apple distributor, they do not know what to do...
    Do you guys have answers for me ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Guillaume

    The iphone is carrier locked.
    Hacking the iphone cannot be discussed here and is not supported by Apple.
    Also, the warranty for iphone is only good in the country of purchase, so you will not be able to get warranty support in your country.

  • HT4623 My Iphone 4 has locked me out. Can see my homescreen but the slide will not open to keypad to unlock. Sometimes I can hit enough things where the keypad will show up but the password will not go in unless I hit each number twice. Strange boxes on s

    My Iphone 4 has locked me out. Homescreen will show up but cannot get slider to open keypad. SOmetimes if I tap enough things the key pad will display. When I enter the passcode it will not register. If I hit each passcode number twice it will register but then tells me I have the wrong code. I also have boxes and rectangles that appear to highlight items which never used to come up. Anyone have any experience with something like this?

    Wow! Its impressive for you to load iOS 4.2 onto the iPhone 4S. How did you do that?
    Moving along, press and hold both the power button and home button together for about 10 seconds. Then, press the power putton to turn it back on.

    is it possible to change imei number?
    i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

    If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
    The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
    With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Erase your device
    Reactivate and use your device
    This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
    What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
    If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
    Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
    While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
    To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
    For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

  • HT1430 How can you restart your iphone if your lock button does not work?

    How can you restart or turn off your iPhone if the lock button does not work?

    The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.
