HT4528 how do i use a unlocked iphone 4s on Verizon

want to use a unlock iphone 4s on Verizon network i have restored the phone i put my sim card in an it jsut say searching

Verizon's network does not use SIM cards for 3G phones.  If it's unlocked you'll need to call Verizon and have them put the ESN for your iPhone on your line manually

  • Can I use a unlocked iPhone 5s on Verizon?

    I Want to buy a unlocked iphone 5s but want to make sure first if it works for verizon and if there is anything I need to watch out for?

    Buying from Verizon is the only sure way to know it will indeed work on Verizon. Plus you get Verizon AND Apple support by buying from an authorized seller. The GSM side of the iPhone 5s is unlocked from the factory so no worries about using a foreign SIM card. Buying anywhere else, especially second hand, is a recipe for disaster. Nobody is going to support a device they did not sell themselves, and to expect it to be otherwise is foolish.

  • How to activate a Factory unlocked Iphone 4s

    When I buy a Verizon IPhone 4s I am able to get a SIM unlock but this is not a unlocked Phone. I am not able to use for example
    a AT&T SIM or use is on other CDMA Carriers. It states on the Apple Web-Site if I buy a Factory unlocked phone I am not able to use it on Verizon. This makes absolute no sense. I would like to stay with Verizon (customer for over 10 Years) but since I am traveling all over the world I would like to order a real World Phone.
    Does anyone know how to activate a Factory unlocked IPhone 4s on Verizon.

    The Verizon iPhone 4s is a real World Phone...what you are wanting to do is have Verizon service and use GSM networks while in the US...or at least that what it sounds like since you state that you are having trouble using another U.S. carrier's sim card on your phone. You can't do that. But when you are overseas you can use a local carrier's simcard there if you have the Verizon sim unlocked. As far as the Apple unlocked device that can't be used with Verizon...it makes sense because that device is natively a GMS device...so it will work unlocked on other GSM networks but not on VZW's CDMA. In general, it has always been my understanding that unlocked devices (not just sim's) are for use n GSM networks and not CDMA's.

  • How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

    Last June, I bought an Iphone in France with Bouygues operator. As I have to leave for Thailand, I ask them to unlock my Iphone, I had to paid 70 euros for it. They asked me to wait about 1 week. I am now in Thailand. Yesterday, I plugged the Iphone to Itunes and I guess the unlock was done as my Iphone was updated. I bought a new SIM card from a thai company... and it doesn't work.
    I went to ask to some shop and they said that my version is 3.1.2 and in Thailand it's only 3.0...Is that the reason I can't get a thai SIM card? What should I do? How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

    How can I use Siri for IPhone?

    Siri only works on the iPhone 4S or iPhone 5. If you have one of those devices, turn it on in Settings > General > Siri.
    If you need more info than that, ask in the Apple forums.

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

    How I can buy an unlock iphone 5 in US?. I heard that Apple let people pre-ordered unlock iphone 5. But after 1 hour, they took it down. So what I see right now is only pre-order for the phone with contract

    We don't know Apple Retail Store inventory is on launch day or any other day for that matter.

    Apple is not yet selling the unlocked version of 6 or 6 Plus (I verified this today at the Apple store, in person).  Many say that some versions now sold are unlocked, but you pay your money and take your chances.  I prefer to wait.
    Oh, and if you are abroad for 3 years, you will have no warranty and no Apple service unless the phone is returned to the US.  Sounds like a good reason (to me) to buy it overseas.  YMMV
    This does, of course, depend on what country one is inhabiting.

    Yes.
    Insert the SIM card and power the iPhone on to find out. Nothing bad can happen if you can't and if you can't for some reason, connect the iPhone to iTunes.

    You can't. It has to be on and able to connect to a network or it can't transmit its location.
