How to Unlock my iphone5 Sprint? I want to use China Unicom USIM card

Need your Help!
Don't post information such as this on a public user forum. This is a public user to user forum for technical questions so nobody here will be able to help you and you are NOT addressing Apple here. If you want help, then you'll need to contact Sprint. They are the only ones that can help you.
However, Sprint is what is known as a cdma carrier and if their phones are like Verizon, then it is not locked. From the iPhone 4s version it was required that any cdma phone with a sim card portion for gsm use should be unlocked out of the box and this is the same for Verizon, which is the other cdma carrier. The sim card tray should be unlocked already, so get a key and open the sim card tray and insert and local sim card in the phone and it should detect a network in China and you can use the phone.
Other than this, if the phone is not unlocked, then you are out of luck and you won't be able to use it. You would need to contact Sprint directly to get the sim portion of the phone unlocked for use with the gsm network in China.
If you can't do this, then your only other alternative is to purchase a phone in China that you can use and will work with the Chinese networks.
Think before you buy next time and check that the phone is compatible and will work where you want to use it.
Other than this, then contact Sprint directly to see if they will unock it if it is in fact locked or buy a new phone.

Is it possible to reset an iPhone 3GS when anyone tryed to unlock the mobile. I wanted to use the mobile Witze the correct Provider.
If it was unlocked by unauthorized means it may not be possible to remove the hack; it depends on how it was done. Try this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If you get error 3194 or 1015 then it is not possible. -
how do you unlock an ipad mini so you can use an overseas sim card, how do you unlock an ipad mini so you can use an overseas sim card
iPads are not "locked". Get an iPad data plan and sim card from a local provider and connect to their 3G/LTE service.

Hi there - I have an iPhone 4s which I bought from the apple store here in the UK. I am going to South Africa at the end of the year and I want to use a SA sim card - do I need it unlocked?
Hi,
As far as I know, all the iPhones bought online or in the Apple Store ar unlocked.
Only carriers (e.g. T-mobile, Vodafone, O2) are able to lock a phone, Apple won't do that (afaik).
This would mean that you shouldn't need to unlock your iPhone.
Kind regards,

How do unlock my old iphone so i an use any sim??
how do unlock my old iphone so i an use any sim??
There is no Unlock Code, only the approval of the original provider. Then just open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable, and then click Restore button of iTunes to Restore the iPhone. At the end of the Restore process, iTunes screen on computer will show large message, Congratulations the iPhone is Unlocked.

I want to use an iTunes gift card as the back up for in app purchases for a so called free app instead of my credit card or having my bank account emptied.
How can I do this? I saw something about gift cards can only be used for music or movies, not apps.You can use an iTunes gift card for app, music, movies and other media.To redeem one see:

When does iphone5s 1528 with iphone6,2 support china unicom's 4g lte network?
When does iphone5s 1528 with iphone6,2 support china unicom's 4g lte network? Before I activate the cell phone, I could see the 4g at the left corner on the screen, but once I activated the cell phone, the 4g disappeared and 3g instead. It was a terrible experience. It seems that my phone support 4g but Apple and China Unicom disable the functionality.
All the information you need is right here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
Notice there is no mention of WiMax.
It doesn't really matter anyway as Sprint is rolling their WiMax network down for use by MVNOs. Actual Sprint customers will not have access to WiMax at all. It was a failed experiment. -
I have entered a gift card on my apple id. The credit shows but when I try to buy a song itunes wants to used my previous credit card information to complete the purchase? When I click on redeem it asks for the gift card # again??
It will automatically be charged against your balance. You need to nothing.
Confirm you payment info as this is how itunes verifies your account. -

I wanted to use an itunes gift card in the ibookstore, but it charged my credit card automatically without giving me any other option.
None for payment
After establishing the Credit Card account (i.e. after you have made purchases), you can remove the credit card information by editing your payment info, choosing "None".

how can i unlock my iPhone 4s i bought off from eBay and is Verizon im current oversea i want to use a local sim card
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.

Carriers are the ones who lock iPhones and are the ones who unlock them. You need to contact Sprint and ask if they unlock iPhones from their network.
