Can I unlock Verizon iPhone 5 or 6?

What I know about iPad:
A Verizon iPad is interchangeable with other networks. Just pop in the appropriate SIM card. IPads are not locked.
A non-Verizon GSM iPad (ATT, T-Mobile) is NOT compatible with the Verizon Network because Verizon performs and requires a separate Verizon IMEI registration when you buy it,
Therefore, only a Verizon iPad works on all carriers (except another CDMA network, e.g. Sprint).
What i think about iPhone 5 or 6:
An unlocked GSM iPhone 5 or 6 (ATT, T-Mobile) works on Verizon.  Just pop in the appropriate SIM card.
Verizon states their is no unlock for their iPhone 5 or 6.
Question:
Will a Verizon iPhone 5 or 6 with no contract work on another network anyway?
If not, is there any way to unlock it?
Does that mean you need to purchase an unlockable GSM iPhone 5 or 6 for complete portability?

The GSM portion of the iPhone 5 and later is unlocked already. You can use a Verizon iPhone 5 or later on another GSM network without requiring it to be unlocked since it's unlocked out of the box.

    this website will set mobile carrier info for dat access when you cannot edit
    or do not kno settings.
    it dose not jailbreak or carrier unlock iphones
    click on the icon below to choose what you wish to do.

    to sync my iphone. sorry for sounding like such a noob but i could use some
    help.
    Thanks

    ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it.
    If it was unlocked any other way, then it will likely lock after update.

    First you'd have to establish service with Verizon. Once a paying customer in good standing, you can then request the GSM portion be unlocked. Obviously, you can't do any of that stuff while you're out of the US. They will not unlock the CDMA side.

  • Unlocked Verizon iPhone 4S vs. Unlocked AT&T iPhone 4S

    I know that an unlocked AT&T iPhone can use in Europe and Asia's GSM network.
    I have 2 questions:
    (1) After Verizon unlocks my iPhone 4S, can I use it in Europe's any GSM network?
    (2) After I fulfill my contract, can my unlocked Verzion iPhone 4S uses freely in Europe and Asia?

    After reading this article I stand corrected...  http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57495076-94/why-you-cant-take-your-unlocked-iphone-4s-to-another-u.s-carrier/
    It appears that it can be done only on non US carriers..

    Contact Verizon.
    Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
    Posting your IMEI in a public forum is extremely unintelligent.

  • How do I use my AT&T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

    So I am planning on getting an unlocked verizon iPhone 5s but the thing is my carrier is AT&amp;T. So how do I use my AT&amp;T SIM card for the unlocked Verizon iPhone 5s?

    If you plan on using AT&T, why on earth would you purchase a Verizon iPhone? Doesn't make any sense. Yea, it will work on AT&T's network, but you won't get LTE, only 3G. LTE requires using a Verizon sim.
    This is an extremely poor idea. Purchaase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, if you want to use AT&T's network.

    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:

    If you are referring to a lock to a specific cell carrier, so you can use the iPhone with a different carrier, only the cell carrier to whom the phone is locked can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact the carrier.

    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.
