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.

  • HT4528 How can you unlock a verizon iPhone 5?

    Hello, I brought an iphone5 several weeks ago from a friend and I've heard that the iPhone 5 from verizon is already unlocked. I would like  to connect it with T-mobile. Im thinking of updating the iphone to the new IOS 7 but will that interfere with it being unlocked? How do I know for sure it is unlock ? Also can I do the unlocking by myself through itunes or would I have to find some kind of software to unlock it? Oh, also is it true that when you switch to T-mobile you are not able to send or receive pictures messaging? Sorry for asking a lot of questions.

    What you need to understand first is that the Verizon iPhone is a CDMA phone and does not require a sim card to work on the Verizon network.  Yes the phone is unlocked, but only the GSM part of the phone is unlocked so that you can insert local sim cards when you travel.
    Unfortunately, if you want to use this phone in the US, you WILL NOT be able to use it on T-Mobile, as being a Verizon phone it will only connect with the Verizon CDMA network.  If you want to use the phone in the US, then you'll have to use it on the Verizon network.
    If you want to use T-Mobile, then perhaps think about selling this phone and buying a new phone that is unlocked and a GSM phone so that you can use it with T-Mobile without problems.

  • HT4993 How do I unlock a sprint Iphone to a tmobile

    I recently got a sprint Iphone 4s and I think it's unlocked because it doesn't say sprint on it and I tried using a tmobile sim card
    but it doesn't work, can anyone help please?
    thanks

    You don't. At least not for T-Mobile in the US. Sprint will unlock an iPhone if you are a current Sprint customer in good standing, but it can never be used on any US carrier other than Sprint. It can only be used on non US GSM carriers.

  • How can I unlock my UK phone for AUS use when sourced from UK Apple Store (so without service provider to do it for me)?

    So my Aus iPhone that I had unlocked to do a bit of travelling went for a swim in the Med- my service provider back home informed me that in order to claim on insurance internationally that I should get a new one from an Apple Store and send them the bill etc etc. I did that, and all was fine with the rest of my trip on a prepaid UK sim.  Now I am home and want to put my AUS sim in (where I am under postpaid contract) but my iPhone is not recognising it, with an error message of 'Invalid Sim'.  My service provider cannot help as the product was sourced from Apple originally and not them. Can someone let me know how this can be fixed?

    Okay, so if you purchased your iPhone from an Apple store in the UK then it is fully unlocked.  Apple in the UK sell fully and officially unlocked iPhones, so you should not have a problem with inserting any sim card into your phone.  The phone will be unlocked as long as you purchased the phone in the UK for the full purchase price and not as sim free rather than unlocked.
    Have a word with your provider, as there could possibly be a problem with your sim card.  Get a new sim card and try that.  There is no reason why this should not work on an unlocked iPhone.

  • 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.

  • This 3G iphone is locked. I need to unlock it..how can I unlock my 3G iphone?

    I need to unlock my 3G iphone..how can I do it?

    If you mean that you want to unlock it from your network provider:
    - Ensure that you're out of contract. If you're still in contract then you may have to pay cancellation fees.
    - Contact your network provider who may be able to unlock your phone for you.
    Depending on your carrier, this may cost a small fee of around £10/$15.

  • HT4993 It is possible to unlock my sprint iphone 5c?

  • How do I unlock my original iPhone to be used as a backup to my iPhone 3G?

    Hey Everyone,
    Some background:
    Back in July '08, my original iPhone died. This occurred 2-3 weeks after the 1 year warranty expired and the Genius at my local Apple Store was kind enough to still replace it with a refurbished one. However, before I met with the Genius, I bought an iPhone 3G (which is what I'm using now).
    My question:
    The refurbished iPhone came with firmware 1.1.4 and is useless because it keeps showing the 'connect to iTunes' image. How do I unlock it so I can use it as a back-up to my iPhone 3G?
    Right now, it's just a paper weight. When I first got it, I was hoping I could connect it to iTunes to unlock it but I stopped it half way through the process because it started to cancel my iPhone 3G data plan (to replace it with the EDGE data plan). In fact, I had to go to an AT&T store to restore the data plan on my 3G.
    FYI, I have no desire to jailbreak it or unlock for use with other mobile carriers. I just want to unlock the phone so that I can use it with my current AT&T plan. I also did a quick Google search an all the articles I found were for jailbreaking the iPhone.
    Thanks!

    Ok, weird. After starting this thread, I plugged my original iPhone into my MBP and iTunes displayed a message saying the firmware was too old to synchronize. It suggested that I upgrade the firmware. Instead of continuing, I chose to eject the iPhone and now it's activated - i.e., I can use the iPhone and access the apps (except for the ones that require a data connection). So, I guess I'm all set.
    Hopefully, iTunes didn't screw up the data plan on my 3G (I don't think it did since it didn't show any message of communicating with AT&T's servers).

  • How can I know if my iphone has been in contact with water?

    I've had lost my iPhone 4 in the snow with a rubber/plastic case over it... And how can I know my phone did got humidity in it or not if it is still working well? And also if it is still possible to be under a warranty ??

    If it has water damage the warranty is void.

  • How can I set up my iPhone 6 to use wifi instead of cell when available?

    since getting my new iPhone 6, my cell data usage has increased while connected to a wifi network at home.  How can I get my iPhone to use wifi if available?

    It will always use WiFi if available. If the phone goes to sleep it drops the WiFi connection unless you plug it in to power. Have you checked to see which app is using the cell data?

  • Can i unlock a US iPhone 5 and use it in australia?

    im about to buy a iphone 5 from the US, locked to us sprint carrier. am i able to unlock this phone and use it with vodafone in australia?

    Unless you are a Sprint customer, using the phone on Sprint's newtwork, don't waste your money, as Sprint will not authorize the unlocking of the phone. Not to mention, you'll have no warranty/support for this phone in Australia, & it won't support LTE there as well.
    Frankly, this is a bad idea.
