Can i get a sprint iphone 5 unlocked by apple

I have an Iphone 5 its locked to Sprint and I now like outside of US and therefore need to get the phone unlocked so I can use a local European carrier.
I can't seem to find out how this can be done

Sprint will unlock the SIM slot only for current customers in good standing to use while travelling internationally.
If your intent when purchasing it was to use it primarily outside of the US, you purchased the wrong phone.
If you are currently a Sprint customer, contact Sprint. If you're not, then sell the phone to someone in the US who can use it.

    You would have to ask Sprint if you qualify for unlocking.
    They will not unlock for use with domestic carriers, only for use with foreign carriers

  • HT201328 How do I get my sprint iPhone 5 unlock

    I'm trying to get it unlock to go to straight talk

    You can't. Sprint phones can only be unlocked for use on non U.S. carriers. You can never use that phone on any US carrier other than Sprint. If you want to use StraightTalk, sell yours and buy a StraightTalk iPhone.

  • Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked

    Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked. Sprint will only unlock it if it's international. they will not unlock it if I want to use the iphone4s with another USA carrier.  Why? I have paid for the phone and don't have a contract.  I wanted to switch the SIM card and use tmobile or another provider because I am very dissatisfied with sprint service. Lots of drop calls and texting takes 15 to reach the other person.  It is horrible,,,, I hate sprint!,

    Sorry, what others here have said is wrong, wrong, wrong. There is nothing about the hardware of the iPhone 4S that would prevent a Sprint 4S from being used on T-Mobile, or any GSM carrier, international or domestic. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Each and every 4S is 100% hardware capable of doing both GSM and CDMA out of the box. The only impediment is that Sprint would have to authorize an unlock for you. This is something they simply refuse to do. If anyone at Sprint has told you that they can't unlock a 4S for domestic use with another carrier, they have lied to your face. This, by the way, is something they're doing with everyone who asks the question - just Google search "Sprint unlock iPhone 4S", and you'll see dozens of internet threads where people talk about being lied to by Sprint about this issue. The good news is that Sprint signed an agreement with the FCC regarding letting off-contract customers unlock their phones. The agreement takes effect in mid-March, and Sprint is dragging its feet until then. Once that deadline passes, if Sprint still hasn't agreed to unlock your phone, then they're in violation of the agreement, and you can and should report them to the FCC. I sure plan to. Then I'm going to switch carriers, to one that doesn't lie to me and keep fraudulent liens on my property.

  • Can I get my Sprint 4S to work on Tmobile?

    Ok, here are the facts:
    iPhone 4S sold by Sprint has both CDMA and GSM capabilities. Sprint will unlock your iPhone for international GSM use, but not for domestic carriers like ATT, Tmobile, or even CDMA Verizon.
    My iPhone 4S has been unlocked by Sprint and will work abroad. I want it to work with Tmobile or Solavei here in the US.
    My question is: If it has GSM capabilities and it's already unlocked for international GSM use, is it at all possible to get my Sprint iPhone 4S working on Tmobile US? I've read that you can buy a 128k SIM card and that solves the problem but I'm wanting confirmation or any other tips or jailbreaks I could possibly use to make my iPhone usable on Tmobile.
    My main motive is not really to get away from Sprint, it's to make my iPhone worth something if I need to sell it after my contract is up. As it stands, I can not sell my iPhone for anything because nobody wants to use Sprint because everyone knows how bad it is. That makes my iPhone worthless. That ****** me off. I used to be able to sell my iPhones every year, pay out my contract, upgrade to the new iPhone, and be left with $20-$100 for the whole transaction. When I tried to do that for the iP5, I was shocked when someone offered $250 for my iP4S with 64GB.
    So again, any help from anybody who has tried this would be greatly appreciated. I already bought some 128k SIM cards to try out and I'll post results when I get them.

    Well, the officially unlocked iPhone 5 will, and the AT&T iPhone 5 will work on AT&T's network(obviously), & the T-Mobile iPhone 5 will work on both T-Mobile's & AT&T's network, as it is officially unlocked.

  • Sprint iPhone 5c unlocking?

    I have a sprint iphone 5 and I was wondering if I could get it unlocked to at&t it was my mother's and she doesn't have sprint anymore but I have at&t and she was gonna give it to me? So can I get it unlocked to at&t? I also have no sim and it is not activated

    Even if you could get a Sprint iPhone unlocked, you would not be able to use it with AT&T. While Sprint will unlock the GSM side under their conditions, you cannot use it with another domestic US carrier.

  • HT1937 Can I get my secondhand iPhone 4 reset to factory setting?

    Can I get my secondhand iPhone 4 reset to factory setting? It is on uk carrier 3 and I would like to use it on the Tmobile or Virgin carriers and give it to my daughter for her birthday on 16-02-

    Resetting an iPhone to factory settigns isn't an issue, you can easily do that by connecting it to iTunes and hitting the "Restore" button.  If the iPhone is currently locked to the UK carrier Three, you won't be able to use it with a SIM card from any other carrier without getting the UK carrier to authorize an unlock.  I believe that the UK carriers all offer this to their customers but it might cost you a fee.  If you are not a customer of Three, you might have more problems getting an unlock form them though.

  • Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV?  If so, I'm afraid it's not possible.  However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then.  There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.

  • Can،t get contact my iPhone to computer and there is no service

    can،t get contact my iPhone to computer and there is no service

    Not knowing what steps were included in "all the troubleshooting possible with Apple people," I'll suggest you give the phone a chance to reprovision your cellular account.
    First turn off Wi-Fi. Then power off your phone. Hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the power off slider. Then slide to power off. Turn the phone back on. After the phone starts watch to see if No Serive is displayed. Hopefully after 15-30 seconds that will change to the name of your cellular service provider and finally indicate LTE or 4G as well as include some dots indicating signal strength. You can then turn Wi-Fi back on.

    How can I get a new iphone if my screen crack?

    Some Apple Stores can replace the screen of an iPhone 5 for $149. Otherwise, it will be $269 to replace the whole phone (unless you have AppleCare+, in which case it would be $79).

  • How Can I Get A Prepaid iPhone?

    I'm moving from somewhere that doesn't have the iPhone, to somewhere that does, and I want to get an iPhone for a couple months while I'm there. I want to get the prepaid plan so I can just cancel and stop using it when I move back.
    How can I get a prepaid iPhone these days? I hear the 111-11-1111 SSN trick stopped working.

    Yeah if you get low on funds in the account, you can always add more like $10 or $15 to get you through to the next month. Any unused minutes carry over to the next month. I think it starts warning you when you get down to $5 and you have to hear it prompt you to add cash before each call goes through then.

    How can I get my stolen IPhone 4 serial Nom.?

    Another option is if you synced the iPhone with iTunes on the computer. If you did that, go into iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices, and locate your last backup. If you hover the mouse over that backup, it will display the serial number, phone number, IMEI, and UIUD.
