Can I exchange my CDMA iPhone 4 to one that uses a micro-sim?

Hi everyone. I recently moved to Germany and brought my iPhone 4, which uses the CDMA network from Verizon. Problem is, in Germany only iPhones with micro-sims seem to be working. My phone still has warranty until March 2012. I spoke to a German Apple Store Service and they said they cant even give me a new one in case of warranty, because they simply dont carry any. Is there a chance that I can exchange my phone for one with a SIM card back in the states? Or maybe upgrade to the iPhone 4S? Thank you in advance. Julian

That's correct. They don't sell CDMA phones in Europe. Most of the world does not use CDMA networks at all. Even if the warranty were international, which it is not, they would not have them there to exchange.

  • Can I exchange an unlocked iPhone 5S for one with Sprint?

    Hi Everyone!
    I would really appreciate if all of you could help me out with a concern I have.
    I just bought an unlocked iPhone 5S ($649) online and received it today at my house. But I wasn't aware at all that unlocked phones (GSM) don't work with Sprint because of their network (CDMA). Till I started researching this I knew that this was going to be troublesome. Right now I have a 2 year contract with Sprint with an iPhone 4S (Still have 1 year left) so I can't just break the contract and switch to either T-Mobile or AT&T so that's not an option for me and I can't use the unlocked iPhone because of its network.
    What I would like to know is if there's a way I can go to an Apple store and exchange the unlocked iPhone for a Sprint iPhone 5S? (it doesn't matter if they don't return any money to me since it's not an unlocked iPhone). I hope so because I really spent a lot of money on this phone and I really like it but I don't know if Apple can do these kind of things. I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one who has encountered this problem before.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi OrangeMarlin,
    Thanks for the help. It helped me out a lot. I was able to exchange the iphone for one with Sprint but now I have to wait like a whole month to receive it again but well it's better than having nothing right? lol!
    Thanks again!

  • Can I exchange my white iPhone 5 without a reciept?

    Can I exchange my white iPhone 5 without a reciept? It's only 1 month and a week old, I have the box, and all the accessories with it, the iPhone has no scratches, as you can say, its New.     I'm not liking white, i prefer a Black one instead.

    If you've had it for over a month, then you are outside of the return window. You can't 'exchange' it at all.
    You're welcome to sell it and buy a new phone.

  • I know I can switch two iphone 4s's with SIM cards, but can I flip a CDMA iphone 4 (no SIM) with a 4s (has SIM)?

    I know I can switch two iphone 4s's with SIM cards, but can I flip a CDMA iphone 4 (no SIM) with a 4s (has SIM)?
    My wife wants to use my daughter's 4s phone instead of her CDMA iphone 4 with no SIM.  Does verizon need to do the switch since I can't just switch SIM cards and restore from backup?

    Unless the 4S was sold for Verizon, the CDMA module is disabled. Regardless, Verizon will not activate devices on their network that were not specifically sold for their network.

  • I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.

    I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.??

    You can find the backup files and then copy them to a safe place if you are worrying about this.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.

    You might have better luck in the iTunes for Windows community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

  • How can you tell if your iPhone 4s is locked or not, without replacing sim?

    Hello everyone.
    I'm new to the site and iPhone world,
    How can you tell if your iPhone 4s is locked or not, without replacing sim?
    Any tips or tricks?
    Supposably, Sprint iPhone 4s prior to Nov.11th are unlocked, in what extend this true?
    thanks in advance.

  • I want an iPhone 3gs as I currently have a nokia lumia 620 but can I use my micro sim in the 3gs

    Hi i want an iPhone 3gs but can i use my micro sim or do i need a sim adapter? answer soon

    The iPhone 3GS takes a standard full-size SIM. It's possible that an adapter will work, but it will probably be more reliable if you get a full-size SIM from yur cell carrier.
    EDIT: I concur with Tim. The 3GS is a very old model now, as smartphones go, so I would suggest a newer model, saving up if you have to. I myself wouldn't buy anything older than an iPhone 4S at this point.
    Regards.

  • Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart?

    Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart? I don't have AT&T or Verizon network and I don't want to get them but I was just wondering if you can get the iphone 5 that is at target and use it for the straight talk plan. I will be getting the straight talk plan but I would like to do some research on the iphone 5 first for straight talk. At walmart the phone is $544.99 and I think it will be a lot cheaper to buy it at target.
    Thank You!

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

    can i sync 2 different iphone with 2 different numbers using one apple computer?

    You can sync as many devices as you like to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep it all straight by device, including separate backups.

  • How will i be able to use my micro sim card from my iPhone 4s, in the nano sim card tray in the iphone 5?

    How will i be able to use my micro sim card from my iPhone 4s, in the nano sim card tray in the iphone 5?

    You can't. The nano SIM is 15% thinner compared to its previous two generations, so even if it is cut in the same size, the thickness would be different, meaning the cut micro SIM cannot fit into the nano SIM slot.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

    I have a MacBook Pro using my Apple ID and Password, can I home share with my wife's iPad that uses her Apple ID and password

    You have to all be signed into the same Apple ID and on the same WiFi network, but yes you can do it. You have to sign into her Apple ID on your iPad in the store settings.
