Can I unlock a iphone 4 that is locked for sprint use only so I can use another carrier

Can a iphone 4 be unlocked when it is locked to be used with sprint only so I can use it with another carrier ?

Only Sprint can answer that question for you specifically.
But Meg's answer is pretty much spot on.

    can we unlock an iphone which one locked with an icloud email address and password.I have no idea about the email address and password for the icloud.can any one help me about this.

    It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked.  This article explains:

    If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password.  This is an anti-theft measure.

  • HT1414 i wanna unlock my iPhone every time i try it says only compatible Sim cards from supported carrier may be used

    i wanna unlock my iPhone every time i try it says only compatible Sim cards from supported carrier may be used

    Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Yours is obviously locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
    Contact the carrier it's locked to and find out if they offer unlocking and if you qualify to have it unlocked.

  • How can i unlock an iphone to be worked on all networks ??

    How can i unlock an iphone to be worked on all networks (in egypt)??

    If the carrier tells you that they do not unlock iPhones, then there is nothing you can do other than sell the iPhone to someone who can use it with that carrier and purchase an iPhone that is officially unlocked.
    Regards.

  • HT4993 If my iphone 5c is locked under sprint and i do not want that network.How can i unlock it and change?

    So i bought this iphone 5c off of amazon and it locked under sprint and i dont want to use that network and i do not know how to unlock it and i want to soo what should i do

    You bought the wrong phone. Sprint will normally only unlock for existing customers, so it's highly unlikely that you will be able to get that iPhone unlocked. Return it to the seller and buy an iPhone that is either locked to the network you wish to use, or is officially unlocked.
    Note that many private sellers and unauthorized dealers lie about the unlock status, so you need to proceed with extreme caution. You may well end up with a phone that's locked to someone else's Apple ID, quite possibly stolen, and hence useless to you. I'd strongly suggest you buy your iPhone only from an authoried reseller, of which none of Amazon's affiliates are.
    Regards.

    I got a Iphone 4S internet like free(UNLOCK) but is not... This Iphone is lock with Orange (SPAIN) How can I unlock the Iphone now¿?

    "Ok, but Whats happen if the carrier said that I need the first contract personal information.."
    Then you need the first contract personal information.
    " I Know that all the companys have to unlock de phone... ¿?¿?"
    Not true.
    "Apple could help me then¿?¿? unlocking the Iphone beacuse Apple always have the last word...
    No.  Apple has no part in the decision ot lock or unlock at all.  Lock/unlock is 100% the decision of the carrier.  Apple has nothing to do with this decision.

    how can I unlock my iphone??? on the screen I only have the apple logo and  a thing that looks like if the phone is working but no advance

    Hi,
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • How can I unlock an IPod with a locked screen that says Will open in 21,889,406 minutes?

    How can I unlock an IPod with a locked screen that says Will open in 21,889,406 minutes? It was in our companies lost and found a couple years ago. Was never claimed. If I could unlock it, I could possible find out whose it is/was or at least use it. Not sure what model or what operating system it has. Was lost in 2010 in the fall of that year.

  • Can i activate an iphone that is from Australia with another sim card?

    can i activate an iphone that is from Australia with another sim card?

    If officially unlocked, yes...you can use any valid sim card. If carrier locked, no...requires a valid sim card from the carrier the phone is locked to.

  • HT1414 I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone.

    I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. I need some proffesional help. Thanks

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • How can i unlock my iphone 4? carrier doesn't give me an answer or anything!

    How can i unlock my iphone 4? i'm from belarus. i bought it in austria (on ebay auction), contract t-mobile is ended. i ask a question to t-mobile and have no answer! i don't want to use jailbreak or anything illegal!

    it's not just an apple thing htc, samsung and nokia also don't offer to sim unlock phones
    the whole point of sim lock is that the user pay less then the phone cost because the carrier pay the rest
    if it's not in your contact or the laws of the country you live in then the carrier is not forced to unlock it ever
    and if the phone producers started to sim unlock phones they would face a HUUUGE lawsuit
    and other carriers would start to stop carrying that brand
