I want to use my verizon iphone 4 with another carrier

how can i use my iphone 4 with another carrier?

Did you read the question properly?  The OP has a Verizon iPhone 4, so obviously they have a CDMA phone because Verizon is a CDMA carrier.
They will not be able to use the phone with any other carrier but Verizon and also the Verizon iPhone does not have a sim card tray.

  • 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.

    Ask the carrier it's locked to if they'll unlock it. Nobody else can.

  • Using Verizon iPhone 5 on another carrier?

    I've been reading around and from what I seen, Verizon's iPhone 5 is already unlocked.
    So if I want to use the phone with another carrier, how would I go about that?
    When I take the phone to the new carrier, would they be able to activate it no problem?
    Is it possible to port my number with the phone as well?

    What carrier are you thinking of going to. Verizon is a CDMA phone and AT&T and Sprint are GSM. So even if they are unlocked you can only use a CDMA phone with a provider that is CDMA.

  • Can I use a Verizon iPhone 5S with a Japanese au SIM?

    I was wondering if anyone knows if I can use a Verizon iPhone 5S on Japan's au with an au SIM card???
    (Verizon iPhone 5S comes factory unlocked and freely accepts GSM nano SIMs from other US carriers. This question is specifically for people with firsthand knowledge of American phones working on Japanese networks with Japanese SIM cards.)
    I'll be living in Japan for just 7 more months, so it doesn't make sense to buy an impossible-to-unlock Japanese iPhone now. I'll be back on Verizon when I move back to the States, so if I can use an American Verizon phone on au, I would love to buy one right now while I'm home in Hawaii for the holidays.

    You can't. Doing so is not supported.

  • How to use a Verizon iPhone 4 with an Australian Telstra Sim Card

    i bought an iPhone 4 off eBay from the USA. the carrier is Verizon 12.0 but i want to use my Australian Telstra Pre-paid sim in it. how do i do this??

    If it is a Verizon iPhone 4 there is not slot for a microSIM so you wouldn't be able to make it work anyway. To unlock a Verizon phone you have to be a current customer in good standing.

  • Hi i just ended my service with my service provider and was wondering if i have to do anything to use my iphone 3gs with another carrier. do i need to get it unblocked to be able to use another sim card

    I just ended service with my at&t and was wondering if i have to do anything like have my phone unblocked to use another sim card or use another provider

    I have a 3GS, out of contract with AT&T. I emailed for the unlock, and got an email saying:

    Now the deal here is, iOS 6 is out now, so in order to complete the instructions and restore it with iTunes, you have to update to iOS 6. I decided to keep 5.1.1, so I did NOT restore the phone. I checked a couple IMEI checker sites, and they all said my IMEI was unlocked, so rather than use iTunes, I just replaced the AT&T SIM with an O2-UK SIM card I had when using my Android phone in England. I was pleased to see T-Mobile show up as my carrier when I turned the iPhone on, and in Settings, it shows O2 as the carrier instead of AT&T, due to the O2 SIM being installed. Then a moment later, I got texts saying what my remaining British £ balance is, since I had leftover money on the SIM from my last trip, and another text said "Welcome to America, have a nice trip!"
    The phone isn't jailbroken or anything like that. It's still on 5.1.1 with the proper, working Google mapping. Never restored via iTunes. Never updated to iOS 6. Any SIM card works. No tricks or hacks. You don't have to restore the phone to complete the unlock.

  • I want to use my old iPhone 3GS as an Ipod. Nothing is working?

    I'm tired of wasting battery on my iPhone 4 to listen to music, so I wanted to use my old iPhone 3GS as an iPod. I read you had to have a sim card inserted in the phone, regardless if it's activated. So I put the old one inside, but when I connect it to my computer, it won't charge, or sync with iTunes. It's definitely not my charger because both of my phones charge in a wall outlet, and my iPhone 4 charges through the computer. Just not the iPhone 3GS.... I'm going on vacations with long car rides and would like to use this. Help please!

  • What prepaid service can I use my verizon Iphone 5 on

    Recently about a month ago there was a commercial on tv that was a no contract Cellphone Carrier that advertised I could take my iPhone5 to their service.  Unfortunately through my infinite wisdome I thought I had bookmarked their page and I had not.  I was hoping that someone here can help me find their service as I am tired of Verizons BS games like trying to say I was in Canada Mexico and IL all that the same time according to their system.  Then their wonderful rep after being told not to changed my data package from 6 gb to 2 gb causing me to go over my data and when I called them to find out why I was over my data I was told I could not go back to the package I had as it was no longer offered as I was getting the 6 gb for 20 bucks a mo and the 2 gb was 20 bucks a mo as well and for me to go back ot it I was looking at 60 bucks.  I could swear the company's name started with an A I know its a long shot but they said I could use the verizon Iphone with them and they just had to ship me a new sim card for it and it was good to go.  Please help as I need to get my phone working again my mother has cancer and this is the only way I can communicate with her right now is over my phone.

    I have a iPhone 5 that I use on Verizon which is CDMA. I can also use that phone on any GSM carrier in the U.S. and abroad. The phone is not locked to Verizon. Even with Verizon I need a Verizon sim. I paid full price for the phone to get an unlocked phone.

  • I want to use my old iphone for my kids as an ipod.  How do I keep from getting text messages on it when it is turned on?  If it is on, and my droid razar is on, text messages will go to the iphone. It is either a 4 or 4s ...I don't have Siri, so I think

    Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
    It would depend however on the age of the child.
    Good Luck

  • HT3546 How do I set up my air port extreme to do port forwarding? Running 10.7.4 I have a IP camera on my local wireless net work that I want to use from my iPhone 4s and other computers.

    In most cable systems, the router you have will plug into your modem and just work automatically. A NAT (Network Address Translation) router takes your external IP and hands out LAN (Local Area Network) based IPs. All of the devices you are working with right now should handle the change automatically unless you've changed from the default automatic configuration.
    The problem with your wireless end of this is that the iPhone is not yet 802.11n, only 802.11g. Because that router is not dual band, all of your wifi devices will be forced to slow down to 802.11g speeds. This won't matter much for each device that's connecting to the internet, as your bottleneck is still going to be there. Where you will see slowdowns is device to device connections, like transferring data between the devices.

  • I want to use Find my iphone, but just on iOS

    I have an iPhone, iPad, and a Mac. I have iCould on the ios devices, but not the Mac. I want to use find my iphone, but not on the Mac. Just on ios. Is there any way to do that?

    If you want to be able to track your iOS devices, turn on Find My iPhone in Settings>iCloud.  You don't need to do anything on your Mac.  You can track them from your Mac by going to icloud.com, signing into the iCloud account that the device(s) you want to track are using, then clicking on Find My iPhone.
    As fromsouth said, you can also download a separate Find My iPhone app on any of your iOS devices.  This allows any device to track the other devices.  This is separate from enabling Find My iPhone on your devices, which is done in your device settings.

  • How to use my Verizon iPhone 4s in America and China - is jailbreaking the only option?

    Disclaimer: I'm not the most tech-savvy so forgive me if my terminology is incorrect! 
    I have a Verizon iPhone 4s with latest iOS update. I have relocated to China for work and would like to use it here. Have gotten my SIM unlocked but cannot use it without accruing ridiculous fees. Verizon uses CDMA and China is GSM, I believe. I've been told that if I get my phone jailbroken here, I can use it with a Chinese SIM but I am wondering if I can still use it back in America with my original Verizon number. Since I work back and forth China-US and am traveling, it's important I can use my phone.
    I'm very nervous about jail breaking, as it seems a little unethical to me...but I'm wondering if that's my only option. How can I retain my American and Chinese phone numbers and still use my phones? Should I just invest in buying a new iPhone 5 so that I can use it internationally?
    Am wondering if anyone here has had similar experiences. Would appreciate any and all help. Thanks so much!

    Verizon does not unlock the iPhone 4S for use on U.S. GSM carriers, only for foreign roaming.
