HT4993 I need to unlock Sprint Iphone 4s for overseas carriers

I have sprint Iphone 4s and I need to use it overseas. Hence need it to be unlocked

Only Sprint can authorize unlocking of your iPhone. If you are a customer of theirs, contact them and ask. If you are not a customer, from what I've read they will not unlock your iPhone at all.
Regards.

    i recently buyed totally unlocked sprint iphone which was legally contract free and i am using that phone in india but i am not able to send sms .everything is working fine except sending sms. i have tried everything plz help me !! i have tried everything i.e. reset iphone /hard reset/network setting reset /sms service no i have also changed but i am still not able to send sms.. please help me as i am really worried .. thank you !!

    I had the same problem.  Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections.  I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked.  This did though:  I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work).  It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer.  I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore.  Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back.  I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

  • Hello i try to use another SIM card with my iphone 4s now it said i need to unlock the phone with my Sim carrier

    Hello i try to use another SIM card with my iphone 4s now it said i need to unlock the phone with my Sim carrier ... here is what it says below
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

    So..  You need to contact the carrier for the iPhone's original sim card, and request they unlock it.  The carrier is the only one that can unlock the sim of the iPhone.

  • Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked

    Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked. Sprint will only unlock it if it's international. they will not unlock it if I want to use the iphone4s with another USA carrier.  Why? I have paid for the phone and don't have a contract.  I wanted to switch the SIM card and use tmobile or another provider because I am very dissatisfied with sprint service. Lots of drop calls and texting takes 15 to reach the other person.  It is horrible,,,, I hate sprint!,

    Sorry, what others here have said is wrong, wrong, wrong. There is nothing about the hardware of the iPhone 4S that would prevent a Sprint 4S from being used on T-Mobile, or any GSM carrier, international or domestic. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Each and every 4S is 100% hardware capable of doing both GSM and CDMA out of the box. The only impediment is that Sprint would have to authorize an unlock for you. This is something they simply refuse to do. If anyone at Sprint has told you that they can't unlock a 4S for domestic use with another carrier, they have lied to your face. This, by the way, is something they're doing with everyone who asks the question - just Google search "Sprint unlock iPhone 4S", and you'll see dozens of internet threads where people talk about being lied to by Sprint about this issue. The good news is that Sprint signed an agreement with the FCC regarding letting off-contract customers unlock their phones. The agreement takes effect in mid-March, and Sprint is dragging its feet until then. Once that deadline passes, if Sprint still hasn't agreed to unlock your phone, then they're in violation of the agreement, and you can and should report them to the FCC. I sure plan to. Then I'm going to switch carriers, to one that doesn't lie to me and keep fraudulent liens on my property.

  • Can I use an unlocked Sprint iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA) on EE's 4G LTE network?

    I want to use my unlocked Sprint iPhone 5 (model# A1429 CDMA) when I travel in the UK. The only 4G LTE carrier is EE.
    They recommend you use an unlocked iPhone 5 (model# A1429 GSM), but I don't wish to purchase a new phone for such a short duration.
    So can I use a unlocked  iPhone 5 (model# A1429 CDMA) on EE's network or not?

    If you purchase the device unlocked, it can be used on any supported GSM carrier around the world.
    There are no guarantees with LTE.  It may work on their LTE network, it may not.

    my husband is in the military, and we are overseas due to his orders, and really need to unlock our iPhone 4, how can we?

    Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking. There is no other way to get any iPhone officially unlocked. Apple can't/won't help you.
    You need to contact your carrier.

  • HT1937 Can i use my unlocked Sprint iphone 4s on AT&T's $25 prepaid plan?

    Can my unlocked Sprint iPhone 4s be used on AT&T's $25 prepaid plan? I recently opted out of my two year contract. When I plugged in the AT&T gophone mini sim to activate it, it says "sim not valid" and says only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate the phone. Please help!

    The only way to use a Sprint CDMA phone with Verizon's CDMA network would be to entice Verizon to reflash the firmware on you phone.  And they will not do that, for anyone with any phone - you must purchase a Verizon phone to use the Verizon network.
    You cannot use your CDMA Sprint phone with AT&T because AT&T does not operate a CDMA network.  They use GSM, which is a different network than CDMA.

  • I have a unlocked sprint iphone 6, can i connect it to my existing line. I currently have a galaxy s5

    i have a unlocked sprint iphone 6, can i connect it to my existing line. I currently have a galaxy s5

    The AT&T, T-mobile, and Verizon iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are actually all the exact same phone and all have CDMA built in. I imagine Apple did this to simplify manufacturing and got a deal from Qualcomm to only get charged for the Verizon iPhones for the CDMA components which is probably all on the same chip now. That info is probably locked up so tight in a contract we may never know.
    Anyway, it is true for multiple reports around:

  • Hi, I need to unlock my iPhone 5

    Hi, I need to unlock my iPhone 5, I´m from Venezuela and I went to my carrier and they told me that they don´t do that service(unlock the phone), so I´m asking you if you know any other way to get my iPhone unlocked, I really appreciate your help.

    Only the carrier can unlock your phone.  If they won't, you're out of luck.  Apple doesn't unlock phones.

    Only AT&amp;T can legitimately ulock you iPhone and they won't for any reason. Any talk about unauthorized unlocking of an iPhone forbidden in this forum.

  • Unlocking Sprint iPhone 4s?

    How can a Sprint iPhone 4s can be ulocked??

    Sprint will not unlock it at all for domestic carriers.
    You can ONLY use it with foreign carriers and Sprint.
    You will not be able to use it with any other U.S carrier

  • HT201328 I'd like to unlock my iPhone 5 for use on a trip overseas. Is it possible to unlock it for this purpose?

    I'd like to unlock my iPhone 5 for use on a trip overseas. Is it possible to unlock it for this purpose? I bought it before January 26th, so my understanding is that it is legal for me to do so without carrier approval.
    To be clear, I don't wish to leave AT&T when in the US, but while visiting my wife's relatives we really need a local number that they can call. I asked AT&T to do it for me, but they refused. I know there are shady ways to get it done, but honestly, if I wanted to live in that realm, I would have bought an Android.
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not saying you're definitely wrong about the legality, but I certainly have different information:
    http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01/unlocking-new-cell-phones-to-become-i llegal-on-saturday/
    I'm no lawyer, but the official document appears to support my assertion that unlocking a phone purchased before January 26th is grandfathered into the prior exemption which allowed unlocking any phone at any time.

    Thanks for mentioning the warranty issue. I cannot find an authoritative reference regarding it, though. What I have read indicates that Apple has been fairly vocal about stating that jailbreaking may void your warranty, but has been pretty quiet about unlocking. None of these posts, however, gives any reference either way, so it is difficult to ***** the accuracy.
    I'm open to hearing different information as I definitely do not know everything about this subject.
    If possible, can you reference your sources?
