If i buy an unlock iPhone 4 from any other carrier can i use it on sprint

if i buy an unlock iPhone 4 from any other carrier can i use it on sprint

No.
Sprint has a CDMA network. An unlocked iPhone will be a GSM phone - compatible with GSM networks only.
If you want a iPhone on Sprint's network, purchase a Sprint iPhone 4 or 4S.

  • When i buy new unlock iphone 5 in apple store, can i use it in the russia?

    I want to buy it in the france on november

    As long as it is unlocked it will work on GSM networks.  Whether it works on LTE networks will depend on the bands they use and what the phone supports.
    Keep in mind that warranty and support are only valid in the country of Origin.  Excepetion being the EU where warranty and support for a device purchased in an EU country are honored in any EU country.

    Possibly; it depends on where you are and what model of iPhone you're interested in. Call or visit your local Apple Store and ask.

    I'm eligible to upgrade my current iPhone at a discount. I do want to stay with Verizon. Can I buy the new iPhone from any retailer or must I buy it through Verizon only ?

        Congrats on your upcoming upgrade yvon1012. This phone is awesome. You can buy it from any retailer and connect it to your Verizon account. Make sure this phone is compatible with our network. If you are eligible for a discount, you can purchase your new phone for a low amount via my verizon online http://bit.ly/xB4iTc  .

    As long as it is sim free with no subsiby to a carrier, then yes you can slot any sim in and use it anywhere.  And yes the Apple stores in the UK sell factory unlocked phones as long as they are not connected to a carrier as Apple sell those as well.

    Once you are in Recovery Mode, it's too late to do any backup. I am afraid you are going to lose your data.

  • If you buy a phone off ebay for a carrier, can you use it as an ipod

    if you buy a phone off ebay for a carrier, can you use it as an ipod

    You have to be sure it is not stolen or activation locked

    Ask for the IMEI number and see if it locked to its current owner or blacklisted

  • Hey! when i buy an unlocked iphone from usa, dose it work in romania?

    hey! when i buy an unlocked iphone 5 from usa, dose it work in romania?

    You'd be better served by purchasing an officially unlocked iPhone 5 in one of the EU countries. Except for the EU, iPhone warranty/support is limited to the country of original purchase. Thus, you won't have any warranty or support, for a US iPhone, where you live. However, if you purchase an iPhone in any EU country, your warranty/support is EU wide. Further, US iPhone 5's do not support LTE in Europe, only the models sold in Europe support such. Given these two issues, doesn't it make more sense to purchase your phone in Europe?

  • HT201328 Does buying an unlocked iphone from apple disable some features

    I am currently looking to get an iphone5 and saw Apple sells unlocked iphones.  I currently have an iphone4 that was an At&t phone but I had them unlock it when my contract expired.  I switched over to Straighttalk and it doesnt allow my MMS features to work on their plan.  Ive tried to switch the MMS settings but nothing worked.  If I was to buy an iphone5 would it work on any system with different sim cards and if I had to change the settings would  I be able to restore them to the way it was when i purchased it in case certain things dont work.  Please help

    Yes. The T-Mobile nanoSIM which came with the  full price, unlocked iPhone 5 will work for a prepaid plan. However, neither Apple retail store employees nor the T-Mobile customer svc reps know this. It was quite an ordeal to activate. I had to order the prepaid activation kit online, wait for its arrival by snail mail, then use the activation code from the kit with the nanoSIM to activate the prepaid monthly plan $30/mon for 100 min+ unlim text + 5 GB 4G/LTE. I live in Pasadena, CA, and the 4G and LTE coverage here is extensive and reliable.
    I tossed the SIM which came with the activation kit.
    My local T-Mobile retail store wouldn't sell me a prepaid activation kit when I told them that I wanted the web-only $30/mon plan. The customer svc reps couldn't or wouldn't give me an activation code to use either.

  • If I buy an unlocked iphone from the usa, will it be compatable in the uk?

    I would like to buy an Iphone from the USA but am concerned that I will not be able to use it in the UK. Can anyone confirm if this is possible and if there is anything I will need to do?

    The officially unlocked GSM version will work fine. But why on earth do you want to do this? The iPhone warranty is not a true international warranty, thus you most likely won't have any warranty & support in the UK for a US purchased iPhone. Not to mention you can purchase officially unlocked iPhones in the UK. Your money, do what you want.

  • Hi. If i buy an unlocked iphone from canada. Will i be able to use it in Mauritius Island on network Orange?

    Hi,
    I live in Mauritius Island. My brother wants to send me an unlocked iphone 5s from CANADA as a gift, but i am unsure if i wil be able to use it here. Can you help? We use Orange here.

    Not sure that they are selling unlocked phones in Canada.  Mostly, the Canadian phones are carrier locked and the Canadian carrier do not offer unlocking, with Bell being the main one.
    It might work, but this would only be on 3G because you have to remember the frequency differences and phones built in Canada were designed to work in Canada with the Canadian carriers/networks.
    Also be aware that warranty for the iPhone is not international, so if anything goes wrong with the phone and you need help, you'll have to physically go back to Canada or post the phone back to your brother in Canada, but not directly to Apple.

  • If I buy an unlocked iphone from apple in US will it work in uk when u get home with my tmobile sim?

    Anyone know

    Yes, but not with LTE network access if T-Mobile in the UK has LTE network access.
    In addition, the warranty if needed will be honored in the U.S. only. Any problem with the iPhone that cannot be resolved by any other means besides an exchange under warranty will require you returning to the U.S. with the iPhone for the exchange.

    Interesting ...
    Your posting title mentions iPhone, but you seem to be talking about iPad.
    Also, the article you attached references Macs ...
    Anyway, here's a guide to setting up email for iPad:

  • Officially unlocked iPhone from Canada in the US

    If buy a unlocked iPhone from Canada and want to use it in the states, can i still get warranty services and apple support in the states ?

    If you have to get a replacement phone for any reason, you will probably have to get it from Canada. The service replacements stocked at US Apple Stores are locked to AT&T.
    From the Apple iPhone 4 Warranty: "Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its
    Authorized Distributors originally sold the hardware product." http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/iPhone4warranty.pdf
