IF the phone was unlocked by Sprint for international use, it will work on any compatible (non U.S.) GSM carrier.
If it was NOT unlocked before you acquired it, you will need to move to the US and establish service with Sprint, then wait the minimum amount of time specified by their policy before they will agree to unlock it for you.
If you are not a Sprint customer, you bought the wrong phone.

  • Hey i got a iphone 4 online and it doesnt have a sim card slot what do i do ??

    hey just wondering if my iphone is fake i brought it online and it has no simcard slot what do i do? could i send it in and get it looked at ??

    You need to return the phone and get a refund because you won't be able to use it without a sim card slot.
    Probably not a fake, because some US iPhones, depending on what comapny they were from and what model do not come with sim card slots, as they don't need them and if you are not planning on using the phone in the US, then you won't be able to use it without a sim card slot.
    The seller really should have made potential buyers aware of this, so I would return the phone for a full refund and then go and buy another iPhone form a reputable source, such as directly from an Apple store or a local phone comapny.

    Verizon will only unlock your phone for international use.
    Just to avoid any possible confusion, a Verizon-model iPhone 4 is a CDMA-only iPhone and can't be unlocked at all. The only way to use that model with another carrier is if Verizon has international CDMA carrier partners for international roaming, available only a very few countries.
    Only the Verizon-model iPhone 4S or later is or can be unlocked for true international use.

    Depends
    If you need a cellphone then No.
    If he wants more than $1 then No.
    I would suggest that you buy an iPod Touch from Apple.

  • HT5163 Should I remove the sims card? What do I need it for

    Should I remove the sims card? What do I need it for

    That is how it connects to a cell provider. If you are using your iPhone just as an iPod you will need the nanoSIM if you ever update or have to restore that phone.

  • Does iPad 2 WiFi /3G (AT&T or Verizon) have a sim card slot?

    I wonder if iPad 2 WiFi/3G (AT&T or Verizon) has a sim card slot?
    As already i have my sim card that i use in my current ipad WiFi/3G & would like to transfer it to the new iPad 2 WiFi/3G (AT&T or Verizon).

    I've been having the same yet different issues... I can connect to WiFi at home no problem but I come to work and the iPad 2 can see the WiFi connect but only get the IP address and subnet, nver the router or DNS require to get on line. I have a iPad 1 andhad the same issues but the last iOS update fixed that issue but when I got the iPad 2 same issues arose. I tried for a couple of days getting on work WiFI (WEP encryption for quest/employee web access) and I noticed I had my iPad bluetooth active, no connected. I turned it off and immediiately got online. I doubt most users are having the EXACT same problem as me but this was a very simple solution that fixed my WiFi woes.
    Cheers!

  • I have a iphone 4 and i can not find the sims card slot what should i do?

    There is no SIM slot in a CDMA iPhone 4. The GSM version has a SIM slot.

    I you have an iPhone you have it ALL!
    OK I think I can help you on this one, I think there is a missconception on the terminology, if the iPhone is from AT&T it does have a SIM card tray, you will find it on the left side of the iPhone. All you need is the key insert it in the little hole and it pops out.
    If the iPhone 4 is from Verizon it DOES NOT have a sim card tray.
    What the sales person told your sister is accurate, the iPhone does not have a slot for an SD card which is an "storage" card mainly used to store all sorts of data such as pictures, videos and more.
    Locally the iphone has lots of storage capacity so your sister wont have the necesity of ever expanding her cellphone memory for the very reason of that she has the best cellular device in the market which is an IPHONE!
    I don't think she will ever fill up her iphone's memory.
    Here is what I found in effort to expand the differences between the SD card and SIM card
    -Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format developed by Panasonic, SanDisk, and Toshiba for use in portable devices to store data.
    -A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM) is an integrated circuit that securely stores the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices (such as mobile phones andcomputers).
    I hope this helps your sister.

  • Does a iPad 3 have a sim card

    I just bough a iPad 3 and does it have a sim card tray becuase the iPad 2 has it

    If you bought the wifi-only iPad then it won't have a sim card slot, if you bought the wifi + cellular version then it should have a sim card slot on the left-hand side towards the top e.g.

  • W530 Sim card slot

    Hi,
    I noticed that I have a sim card slot at the battery area. I didn't get a Gobi card, but I wonder if there are any other options of making it work, and how exactly do I configure sim cards to get mobile internet?
    Thanks,
    J

    Hello all,
    Not sure if this question has already been answered. 
    As of now, no, there is not a way of having 3G internet without a WWAN card in the computer.  You can connect to Wifi with the built in Wireless LAN card but not mobile internet.  The Sim card is from a provider like Verizon, or Nextel here in the USA.  You would have to have the WWAN card installed into the mSATA/pci-e slot and also a contract with a wiress provider or an internet provider.  This is the only way to have full mobile internet.
    Hope this helps,
    Alex
