Iphone 4s of sprint work in mexico

Iphone 4s from sprint work in mexico

Since the phone will be carrier-locked, you won't be able to switch the SIM to one from Mexican carriers. And continuing to call with the Sprint SIM will result in HUGE international interchange call fees.

HT1430 my iPhone 4 shows sprint as my carrier but net10 is my provider and gave me the working phone number i have

My husband has an iphone4 and I used the Net10 byop package and it activated and they gave me the phone number and it worked immediately exept it states on home screen SPRINT!
(This phone came from a family member that no longer was using it. There was no service active on it when we received it, but activated it with the CDMA option from the BYOP package we purchased since there was no sim.) Thought you might want that info if you are able to help me!!
I went to the "about" section under settings and it shows sprint there also. How is this possible and how is the net10 service working when they are not tied to Sprint? I will say that the reception with net10 and this phone is horrible compared to the previous phone that my husband was using before we switched him to the iphone and before he had excellent reception most anywhere we were.
I really need help figuring this out and have read numerous articles but nothing can tell me how to change these settings or what i should do exactly.
Thanks for you time, it will be greatly appreciated!!

Net10 use ATT,T-Mobile for GMS phones and Verizon and Sprint for CDMA since your IPHONE is from sprint they are using the sprint network to give you the service you are using; that is why in the carrier it says Sprint.

The unlocked iPhone 6 version, will work well in Mexico right away after buying it?

The unlocked iPhone 6 version, will work well in Mexico right away after buying it? Or do I have to wait a few months? The unlocked version, not the T-mobile contract-free.

The T-Mobile phone that is for sale in the US is not "Unlocked", but it is instead Contract Free.
There is no such thing as a factory unlocked phone and the phone is either unlocked or contract free. An unlocked phone needs to be purchased directly from Apple and will remain unlocked whatever you do, but at present Apple is not selling and has not released the unlocked version of the iPhone 6 and 6+.
A contract free phone differs in that it will lock to the first sim card that you put in it, however, the T-Mobile contract free phone should work in India if you take out the T-Mobile sim card first before activating it and just activate it with your Indian sim card.
Remember though that although the phone will work in India you will not get 4G/LTE due to the frequency differences between the US and India and you will have no warranty cover for your phone in India - iPhone warranty is NOT international and is for the country of purchase only, so you will have to get back on a plane and fly to the US with the phone if you have problems.

If I buy an iPhone what I have to do to make it works in Mexico?

if I buy an iphone 6 it works in Mexico??
if is not, what I have to do?

You can buy the T-Mobile Contract Free one online or in an Apple Store (not from T-Mobile, it will be locked with them).
You can find the model compatible with your country here http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE
Also, check the warranty since you'll not in USA http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/iphone/

I am using iphone 4S with sprint carrier with IOS 7 and has error 1394

I am using iphone 4S with sprint carrier. It has IOS 7 and now I want to downgrade to IOS 6 and I have downloaded a firmware it is compatible with 4S. Now it shows error 1394 and I have tried to fix my host file in windows according to other forums in internet. But I haven't seen this line in my host file to change it
"74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" to "#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com".
PLease suggest me some solution for this problem

There is no approved method to downgrade. Your attempt to load a non-standard iOS file is causing the error. If you want to use your phone, you are going to have to try and restore it to the latest iOS compatable for that device which is iOS 7.0.4, otherwise it will not work and you will continue to see the error. Apple is no longer signing anything below the current iOS, so it will never activate.

The ringer on my iphone 4S is not working.

the ringer on my iphone 4S is not working. Phone not on silent mode, no red dot showing, tried turning on and off completely

Sophiaand88 this seems to be a problem with an unknown solution and may be related to a recent update (?). I began having the same problem about 10 days ago when I upgraded to 6.1.3 software. Through research, I have learned that it is a relatively uncommon problem and there are no sound solutions and apple has not addressed it in a favorable way. Multlple suggestions out there including phone in the freezer, blow dryer to the wi-fi area. All sound crazy to me. I have personal hotspot that at least helps me for now. I will give apple a little time and hope a solution comes, but if not I will probably have to get a new phone. P.S. no one I dealt with at my sprint store had ever heard of this. P.s. I reset everything to no avail. Good luck.

I just updated my iphone 4s with sprint to ios6. while I can connect to wifi I am unable to connect to my 3g data plan.

thanks for the help

thanks, it took 4 tries, but it worked on the 4rth. I appreciate your help.

I have an iPhone 4S with Sprint, I had to replace my last phone after the newest update killed my wifi button. Now my new phone won't get 3G at all. I have tried turning my phone off/on, resetting my networks, and turning airplane mode off and on.

I have an iPhone 4S with sprint. I had to replace my phone after the new update killed my wifi button and wouldn't let me turn my phone off. Since I've had my new phone, I haven't been getting 3G. I have tried resetting my networks, Turing airplane mode off/on and restarting my phone. Nothing seems to work. Any info on what I should do next would be great.

If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

If I buy iphone 5 from Sprint , can i use GSM network out of the US ?

If I buy iphone 5 from Sprint , can i use GSM network out of the US ?

hi there,
you could buy it somewhere in Europe. I know Apple sells them unlocked here in Germany and if I am not mistaken also (among others) in France and Italy.
Yet, as Peter wrote, the warranty can become a problem. Not sure whether a one country only rule goes for the European Community as well though.
As for the price, the 16 GB model costs 679,- € (equals roughly 550 £). Currently there is an average delivery time of 4 to 5 weeks.
LTE connections will not work with Orange or Vodafone. Only EE is about to offer a compatible LTE network. DC-HSPA and regular HSPA+ will work fine.
regards, Chris

Trouble activating Sprint iPhone 4s on Sprint

I'm running into some problems activating an iPhone 4s on Sprint, after it had been on FreedomPop for a couple of months. First, some background:
I have an iPhone 4s, purchased from Sprint, that was on my account for a little over 2 years before it was upgraded. Once upgraded, it sat in a drawer for a couple on months until a friend needed a new phone. About that time FreedomPop (a Sprint MVNO) allowed certain Sprint devices to be activated on their network, no Jailbreaking or unlocking required, just give them the ESN and if it were a supported device, they'd activate it. The iPhone 4S was on the list, so we gave it a try. It lasted maybe 2 billing cycles on FreedomPop. Last Wednesday service on FreedomPop was cancelled because the actual usability of the service was, well, crap.
Now that Sprint allows BYOD w/ no credit check accounts on to be added to a Framily ID, we tried to go that route with the iPhone. We called Wednesday morning to deactivate the FreedomPop account and a couple of hours later tried to activate it on Sprint. No dice. They said that the ESN was coming back as "incompatible." I assumed this might mean that FreedomPop has not actually let the device go, and I may need to wait a business day or 2. No problem. I activated an old LG phone I also had so that my friend at least had a working phone with which to make phone calls and send texts.
Fast forward to Saturday, I do a full reset on the phone, the "Your phone is not activated" message comes up on the lock screen, the Network shows "Unavailable" in General/About so I assumed this means we are free and clear. I even swapped out the SIM card (obtained from Apple that weekend), just in case. I tried to replace the LG phone with the iPhone on the website. I entered the ESN and it said that it was invalid. I tried again, thinking I'd fat fingered it, and same result. I then tried entering the IMEI, and same result. At this point it said I had tried too many times and it directed me to a chat agent. I explained the situation to the agent and s/he tried to activate it and was unable. S/he directed me to call telesales, where I spent 35+ minutes on the line with an agent who was also unable to activate the phone. He made notes and was supposed to escalate to another group for research, after which he'd give me a call with their findings. He said I should hear from him by yesterday, but I didn't.
So, ultimately, has anyone ever seen anything like this? I need to stress that the phone is NOT unlocked, NOT Jailbroken, NOT hacked in ANY WAY. It is 100% completely stock, purchased from a Sprint store.
Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong, and how this could be remedied?

Anyone here would be guessing, but probably the MEID (you DID say Sprint, which is a CDMA carrier and thus has MEIDs instead of IMEIs) is still registered to FreedomPop in Sprint's database. You need to get Sprint to work it out, or wait a few more days. From what I have heard about FreedomPop I'm not surprised that they can't get this right.

Can i but the iphone 5s and use it in mexico?

I want to buy it in the US because it is much more cheaper but now that they sell the iphone 5s SIM-free i just wanted to make sure that ot would work in Mexico

"When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5s from a local GSM carrier. " i saw this quote that says if you buy an iphone 5s SIM-free so i wanted to check if it was true that it works with other carrier outside US

Need to turn off iMessage for an iPhone that no longer works

My daughter broke her iPhone and the motherboard is fried. We got her an Android as a temporary phone until she is due for an upgrade in a few months. The problem is that when we try to text her on the new Andriod, on our iPhones (and any other iPhone that tries to text her) it still sends as an iMessage. Therefore she cannot receive any texts from us unless we turn off our iMessage (which causes us not to be able to receive other iMessages of course!). We went to the Sprint store, and they told us that we would need to turn off the iCloud for her phone, since Apple is recognizing it as still on and associated with her number. I cannot figure out how to do that since we can't access the phone settings. She is traveling this week alone with other family and I really need to be able to text her! She is 12. I appreciate any help.
This is an iPhone 4, with Sprint. We have 3 other iPhones, an iPod 4 and an iPad 2 on the same Apple ID account. We don't use the Cloud storage but I think the iCloud on the phone was turned on for a few things like Calendar.
Thank you in advance.

She would have had to register the phone using her Apple ID/password.
Changing her Apple ID password is the only other way to fix this if you don't have access to the phone.
You can also "try" calling AppleCare.

HT201412 Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time

Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time.
sometimes for a few seconds, or sometimes many hours.
I've resetted it when this happens, with no luck.
I've restored it from back up, and the problem still persists.
What can i do?

Hello,
I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
THAT was not an option!
BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
@Apple:
Please fix that issue in the next update.
Hope, this helps you guys as well.

Do you think edge will work in Mexico? Internet?

I was wondering if AT&T's edge network will work in Mexico so I can get on the Internet and check my mail?
Do you think it will? How does edge really work? Is it like cell phone service?
Hope someone has some good news!
Thanks,
Sam

The post here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5090512?start=0&tstart=0 says he bought in in the US and it worked. I would assumed unlocked means unlocked no matter where.
