Can i unlock virgin mobile iphone?

can i unlock iphone 4s from virgin mobile?

Virgin Mobile in the US will not unlock your iphone nor any brand of phone.
This in an email from them on Dec 29, 2013:
"You will be unable to activate your iPhone 4S on another carrier since
we do not provide unlock codes to any of our phones. We are sorry about
that."
A customer service rep also told me that they are planning to provide unlock service "in the future"
BTW: the iPhone 4S and later are 5 band phones, so if you could get it unlocked via jailbreaking or other means, you could use it on a GSM (SIM card) network.
Final Point: People complaing that they payed Virgin Mobile "full price" for their iPhone, so should be able to get it unlocked. This is actually not true. Virgin Mobile charges at least $100 less than Apple does for an unlocked phone.

  • HT201328 Want to go overseas and need my virgin mobile iPhone 5 unlocked so I can use it in europe.  Called VM and they said it can't be done.  That doesn't make any sense.. What can be done?

    Have Virgin Mobile iPhone 5 and they said it can't be unlocked.  Reason to get it unlocked is so I can use the phone when travelling in Europe.   This is crazy because I also payed for the phone in full...  Also, what happens if you move to a region in the U.S. and service is bad...Your stuck with an expensive brick.. Any way to get it unlocked?

    Not all carriers unlock their phones.  They are under no legal obligation to do so in many places.

  • Virgin Mobile iPhone 4 won't receive texts from any service but Sprint?

    I bought a Virgin Mobile iPhone the other day and activated it and everything seems to work fine except for the fact I can't receive text messages. At first, I thought I couldn't receive any texts at all. Then I received a text from my sister, who is on the Boost Mobile network (which I believe runs on Sprint). I have called Virgin Mobile so many times over this issue and they have basically told me they don't know why it is doing this. Does anyone know why this could be happening or what I can do? And also, I bought the $55 unlimited everything plan.

    Did you Find a solution ?

    Can Apple unlock my Apple Iphone in order to us it in Kazakhstan?

    Apple doesn't unlock phones. You will need to contact the original cellular provider to determine if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.

  • Unlocked t mobile Iphone 5 work with verizon

    Hi, I recently bought an unlocked t mobile iPhone 5, but I have Verizon. Will the phone still work with verizon? And if so, what do I have to do to get it working?

    To be completely sure, here are the different models of iphone 5:
    Model number on the back cover:
    A1428: iPhone 5 (GSM model)
    A1429: iPhone 5 (GSM and CDMA model)
    A1442: iPhone 5 (CDMA model, China)
    (from Apple support website)
    So seeing as your iphone was a TMobile device, which would mean it has to be GSM capable, this phone is either an A1428 or A1429. If it is the A1429, that means it also will support CDMA, so you should be good to go on Verizon. If it is the A1428, not so much.
    So yeah, just take a look at the back of your phone, and you shall find the answers you seek.

  • Virgin Mobile iphone screen cracked. Is there anything Apple can do about it?

    I bought my iphone 4 at Best Buy less than a year ago. My servicer is Virgin Mobile and I just dropped my iphone on its face and the corner of the screen cracked. I was wondering if there is anything Apple can do about this, before I go and pay to get this repaired somewhere? I Already checked the Virgin Mobile 1-year warranty and it didn't help

    Make an reservation to see an Apple Genius at the Apple Store nearest you.
    Make sure you indicate the problem with the phone when you make the reservation.
    They can help you find a solution.
    Cheers

  • HT4993 Hey how can i unlock my sprint iphone 5 to use it with t-mobile?

    Some people told me
    1st i need to ask to sprint for some code to unlock my iphone 5
    2do some people told me i need take my device to some apple store and they going to do it
    3th some people also say. That cant be possible ever
    So i need to know whats the real thing if i can unlock my sprint iphone 5 to activate it with t-mobile

    Sprint will only unlock the device for use with GSM carriers outside the US.
    If you want an iPhone to use on T-Mobile, buy one designed to work on their network.

    I have a virgin moble iphone that i found, the power button doesn't work and the phone is saying disabled,what can i do to fix it?

    Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.

  • Is it possible to have a Virgin Mobile Iphone 5s, moved over to Sprint Contract?

    Hey all!
    So I have been wanting an Iphone 5s as a second phone for a while, and now that virgin mobile is offering an INSANE deal on it, I want to jump on it. With that said, I am currently on Sprint for the next year and a half or so and do not want to pay a second round of phone bills for 2 different phone numbers. So I was wondering, since Virgin runs off of Sprint's network, the Iphone model should be the same. How easy would it be to transfer the Iphone from Virgin over to Sprint? If its even possible at all. Thanks!

    No. It's locked permanently to VM.

  • How can i unlock(country lock) iphone?

    i used to belong in United States and also used iphone4 at at&t. i did not know the country lock before i flighted to foreign country. One of my friend asked me about the country lock i had to have country unlock if i using this iphone from U.S to other country. So my question is how to do country unlock ?

    You can't. Only the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it. AT&T will NOT do so under any circumstances.
    Sell it and buy one you can use.
