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?
thanksYou 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.

HT4993 how do i get a sprint iphone 5c unlocked
how do i get a sprint iphone 5c unlocked to change phone carriers
You would have to ask Sprint if you qualify for unlocking.
They will not unlock for use with domestic carriers, only for use with foreign carriers -

If you want an iPhone to use on T-Mobile, buy one designed to work on their network. -
HT1807 how to unlock my sprint iphone 4
I am traveling to another country for 2-weeks.
How do I unlock my sprint iphone4 to accept a sims card?You don't. The Sprint iPhone 4 doesn't even have a SIM slot. There is no GSM radio in it. It is a pure CDMA phone. It will never work with any carrier other than Sprint.
Buy a cheap disposable phone when you get to the country you will be visiting. -

To be clear, you cannot get your phone "factory unlocked".
In order to be factory unlocked, it is manufactured unlocked to any carriers at the factory.
Phones that are locked cannot be "factory unlocked".
They can be carrier unlocked (in some cases as Niel describes). -

How can i unlock my Sprint iphone5 with IOS 7.4.0 to be compartable with other service providers here in the U S?
You can't. Sprint phones can be unlocked ONLY for use on non US carriers. They can not be used on any US carrier other than Sprint. If you want to use a different carrier in the US, sell the phone and buy one you can use.

Is it possible I can unlock my sprint iPhone 4S with companies like tmobile or AT
I'm wanting to unlock my sprint 4s if it's possible to use on AT&T or T-Mobile or at least verizon any help or ideas. Of I can get it unlock and if so how???
To the best of my knowledge, Sprint will only unlock phones for international GSM roaming. Call Sprint for verification. Sprint phones will not work on Verizon's network.

HT201328 How do I unlock a disabled iphone?
How do I unlock a disabled iphone?
The article I linked specifically says "iPhone is disabled". And there is a reference to 'lock' on that page, at the bottom:
Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
There's even a picture.
Also, that article links to another article about Using Passcodes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4113
Which refers to a 'lock' and' 'unlock' multiple times.
Or, hey, that article has a link to Find My iPhone overview... which ALSO refers to 'locking' an iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
Use Lost Mode to lock and track your device
Oh, and THAT article also links to Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695 which also has a lot of references to 'lock'. Heh, it's even in the TITLE.
Are you going to keep trying to say that "The ONLY time you 'unlock' a phone is with a carrier."?
You are wrong. That is not the only time you 'unlock' an iPhone.
The OP asked: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
A phone locked to a carrier is not disabled. It can be used with that carrier.
Unlocking a disabled iPhone refers to when the passcode has been entered too many times.
There is a passcode lock function for iPhones.
To unlock an iPhone that is passcode locked, you need to enter the passcode.
Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and it becomes disabled.
The only thing about the OP's post that even suggests this is an issue about carrier unlocking is the article he linked from, which is most likely explained because he seached for 'unlock iphone'. First Google result is the article he linked from.
But a carrier locked phone is not DISABLED. You are ignoring that part of the OP's post, and focusing on the word 'unlock', which has multiple meanings.
The most likely issue is a passcode lock on the phone, which was entered incorrectly too many times, and thus, the iPhone is disabled.
Just like the OP said: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
Being 'locked' to a carrier has NOTHING to do with an iPhone being disabled. Restricted to use on that particular carrier? Yes. Disabled? No. -

Is it possible to unlock a Verizon iPhone 4s for domestic use?
I have an iPhone 4s that has completed its two-year Verizon contract and I am hoping to use it with another carrier (Cricket) I was told by a Verizon technical advisor that while they don't do the unlock themselves that I could do it at "a Mom and Pop cellphone store or many other companies, like Cricket, will do it for you" I had not told her which company I was hoping to go to. Turns out that no mom and pop stores and Cricket can do this--they all say it has to be done by Verizon. Any thoughts or suggestions? I have already unlocked the International portion but need it done for domestic (US) use.
No, Verizon will only unlock an iPhone 4S for international use. And only Verizon can legitmately unlock the phone.
