How do I get my Samsung S4 phone unlocked by Verizon for oversea travel using local GSM sim

I just got my new Samsung S4 phone and need to know how to get this phone unlocked by Verizon so that I can use the local GSM sim card when I am out of the country.  In reading some of the community posting,  it sounds like Verizon has to unlock my phone before I can use it for GSM.  I put in a China Mobile sim card and it keeps telling me that this is a " non-Verizon SIM - This sim card is from an unknown source"  and I cannot use the local SIM on my phone at all.
Please help.

Yes,
I have selected global mode in the Mobile Networks setting.  Network Operators is greyed out for me to select China Mobile as the SIM card carrier that I inserted and replaced the Verizon LTE SIM card.
What else can I do to make the local SIM work on my S4 phone.   It still show China Mobile not available.
Thanks
Stella

  • How do I get my entire photo stream to my new iPad. I use my ICloud and some of them showed up but most if them did not. I am trying to sync the photos from my phone to an iPad 1 and iPad mini.

    How do I get my entire photo stream to my new iPad. I use my ICloud and some of them showed up but most if them did not. I am trying to sync the photos from my phone to an iPad 1 and iPad mini.

    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

    You don't.
    There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both availabe in the GooglePlay store. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

    How do I get ringtones onto my phone that I downloaded from an app

    what app? Was that app on your phone? Perhaps you should contact the developers of the app to find out how to get the ringtones onto your iPhone.
    I always get my ringtones using the iTunes app on my iPhone. When I download them they are immediately available.

    The personal hotspot is not an app or an icon; it is a setting. You must first have your carrier provision it, then you turn it on in settings. Most carriers charge extra for tethering.

  • How do i get ringtone to my phone from email

    how do i get ringtone to my phone from email

    That would be very difficult, but possible ... you would have to use iTunes on your computer.
    You would have to make sure that:
    *  The ringtone is really a ringtone (correctly formatted)
    *  You own the ringtone (if purchased, it was not purchased by someone else).
    You would email the ringtone to your computer, remove the attachment, and add it in iTunes' "Tones" section on your computer.  Then you would sync it to your iPhone.
