HT1937 I have an iphone 4 from verizon, the contract is up and the phone and bill is completely paid off. Why won't they unlock my phone so I can use a different carrier? Can they do that?
Hi,
I have an iphone 4 from verizon, the bill and phone is completely payed off, I called and asked them to unlock the phone so I can go with another carrier, and they told me they dont support it and would not do it, and told me I would have to go to a third party. What does that mean and can they do that?
You iPhone will not work on T-Mobile since T-Mobile uses GSM.

HT4910 I have an Iphone from Verizon, and my I cloud will no longer back up.
Why won't my I Phone back up any more?
Hi...
I see iPhone 3G in your profile.
If that is correct, an iPhone 3G can only be updaed to version 4.2.1.
"iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

Contact the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked and
ask that carrier if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
What is the exact wording of any error message you receive? -
Does the iPhone 5s T-Mobile come Unlocked? Can I use a different carrier immediately?
HI, Does the iPhone 5s T-Mobile come Unlocked? Can I use a different carrier immediately?
Yes,

Hello guys I have a question,or rather a problem. how can I detach yourself iPhone operator Verizon USA? I mean as to call and what to say? I live in Ukraine, and the opportunity came up for to buy cheap 4S 16GB. but on Verizon. when I insert the original SIM card Verizon and I try to activate, says: (error occurred activation, if this problem happen again please call at +1................). this is the hour to use it through the R-SIM 9 pro. everything works нормальнои calls and Internet and SMS, but I want to officially unlock. beforehand thank you
Well, you managed to find this support forum didn't you and you have an internet connection don't you? Then if you have all these things, go and find the number by going to the Verizon website and it should not be hard to find the number.
As for speaking English, this is not really our problem and it is surely something that you should have thought about before buying the phone in the first place.
You also need to know that Verizon in the US is a cdma operator and if you purchased an iPhone 4s, then it should not be locked. The Verizon 4s comes with a sim card tray that should be unlocked out of the box for use internatinoally on gsm networks, so all you should need to do is open the sim card tray and insert a sim card and you should pick up the local gsm network.
A cdma phone does not actually use a sim card, so there would be no original sim card with the phone because when it is used in the US it will pick up the Verizon cdma network without a sim card. The sim card is only for use on a gsm network which will not work in the US, but is designed to work outside the US. Open the sim card tray and insert your own local sim card and the phone should work and should not be locked.
Other than this, if you purchased the phone in the first place, it is the responsibility of the previous owner to cancel the Verizon contract. This is nothing to do with you, so contact the seller and ask them.
Other wise, go to the Verizon website and look up the number and call them. As they are the phone company, ultimately, they are the only ones who can help you. -
I had an iPhone from Verizon, and i got another iPhone from us cellular. I'm giving my old iPhone to my friend, and somehow we can both see each other's messages sent to other iPhones. Both have different apple ids and numbers. How do I fix this?
You probably activated the new phone will the old phone was still active. That would have linked the two numbers to iMessage. Go into iMessage and turn them off on each phone. Then turn iMessage on for your phone. When it activates, go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and see what numbers/email addresses are linked there. It should just be the current phone number and if desired, your Apple ID email address.
Then have the other person turn their iMessage back on and when it activates see if it now only brings their current phone number and again if desired Apple ID email address. -
I received a car charger for xmas. I have an iPhone 4. Is there a difference in the charging dock between the older and newer iphones? I don't want to damage it by shoving a cable in that is designed for a newer model.
there are 2 connectors the old pin30 and the new ligthing bolt
they don't look very much alike so if anybody were damage byt forcing it in it would be their own fault seeing how diffrent they are -
HT4528 I just ordered 2 new iPhones from Verizon. Can I purchase Apple Care on them?
I just ordered new iPhones from Verizon. Can I purchase Apple Care on these since I didn't get them directly from Apple?
Yes. See the information here, particularly the "Important Notes":
http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
Since you haven't yet taken delivery of the iPhones I'm not sure how Apple will handle it.

I have an iPhone from the USA but i want to use it in Ireland. If i get an irish phone plan and number, will it work?
It depends on whether it is a model that supports the proper bands for the provider inIreland and whether it is not locked to a carrier in the US.

Hi, Have updated iphone from 4.3 and had to do a restore which has now rendered my phone useless as it say the sim is not valid. I am in Colombia and this is very frustrating as I cannot just pop to the apple store here. Please Help...
Sounds like you have a phone that was hacked to unlock it. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them.

how can i unlock my iphone to use a different carrier?
Only the carrier it's locked to can unlock it, and not all of them allow this.

I have an iphone 4 had it for awhile but yesteday the back camera is blurry. I've had this happen before but it looked like there was steam in the camera lens and I let that air out and it went back to normal. So whats the problem this time? My mom isn't willing to buy me another iphone because before I went to a concert and the speakers messed up half the screen. If its the software acting up can I get a free new one?
Moisture has somehow entered your iPhone and specifically the camera. They will do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149 USD.

Hello. I have an iPhone 5S. Does anyone know who manufactures the SIM card Verizon uses in the 5S? Thank you.
Hello Erin and thank you for your quick reply.
My concern is in regards to the recent revelation that the NSA hacked into Gemalto's systems and has access to the encryption keys for SIM cards that Gemalto has produced over the last five years.
