Iphone 4s unloked sprint

I bought an iphone 4s unloked (Sprint) in New York last november but I can not activate it in the Dominican Republic. The message on the screen says " SIM not vali. What can I do.?

The ONLY unlocked iPhone sold in the US is the GSM version. Your Sprint phone is locked to Sprint and can only be activated on Sprint's network in the US. Return it for a refund if still within the 30 day return window.

  • How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint. The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
    The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?

    There is no such thing as an unlock code.   Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

  • 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.

  • A few days ago i ordered applecare  for my iphone 5 at sprint. i bought it along with my iphone at the same time. is it supposed to ship at the same time or is the applecare  gonna ship a few days later? i already got my iphone but no applecare ! i called

    i got apple care + a few days ago with a iphone 5 at sprint. are they suppost to ship at the same time? i got my iphone first and i havnt gotten mt applecare+ yet. is it a package or just a email? i called people at sprint and some of them said it was just an email.

    UPDATE: I did receive the following 2 items in the mail today regarding my Apple Care +:
    1.) Two (2) purchase invoices for Apple Care + on our new iPhone 5s. One for my iPhone 5 and one for my wife's iPhone 5.
    2.) Two (2) certificates (e.g. a contract) detailing the terms & conditions of the Apple Care + coverage on our iPhone 5s including all the phone numbers for each individual state in the USA that has exemptions/exceptions.
    The only phone number provided for the award winning teams is the only they always provide:
    1-800-APL-CARE (800-275-2273)

  • Downloaded IOS7 on iPhone 4, have sprint as carrier, now when another Sprint phone sends a text to my sons iPhone, Im getting a copy of the texts being sent to him.  Plus when I send a text, it shows as coming from my sons.  What's up, how can I fix this?

    I have downloaded ios7 on iphone 4s, Sprint is my carrier.  When I send a text to anohter iphone ALSO using sprint, it shows as coming from my sons phone.  When he gets a message from another iphone using sprint, I get copies of his messages.  Go figure.  It seems to be only other IPhones and Sprint users.  Hasnt' happend with android phones texting him, or him texting to androids or carriers that are not sprint.

    The fact that the problem only occurs when iphones are texting you leads me to think that iMessage may be the culprit. The fact that it is only iphones using SPRINT however is weird. Try turning imessage off on both yours and your sons phones to see if the problem persists. If it does, it may be a carrier problem.

  • I have iphone 4s from sprint and its motherboard is damaged so please provide me what to do it is not in warranty and i am in India now.thanks in advance.

    I have iphone 4s from sprint and its motherboard is damaged so please provide me what to do it is not in warranty and i am in India now.thanks in advance.

    No, the logic board needs to be replaced. But, here's your ptoblem: No authorized service center, In India, will touch a US iPhone. Thus, your only option is a third-party repair shop. But, since Apple does not sell iPhone parts, many on the market are counterfeit. In other words, if you go to a third-party repair shop, you take your chances as to what you end up with.
    If you can't send the phone to someone in the US, that can go to an Apple store for you, & do an out of warranty exchange...cost is US $199...then sell the phone for parts or go to a third-party repair shop & hope you don't end up worse than you are now.
    Those are your options.
    Good luck.

  • 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.

  • IPhone purchase via Sprint & fees particular to Sprint for that purchase?

    Hi --
    I hope it's appropriate to post this question here.  I suppose I could post it on the Sprint site as well, but folks on here, in my experience, generally know what's what.
    I went through the checkout process to purchase an iPhone 4S via Sprint for $199 (it's the 16GB model).  So non-discounted cost is $649.
    So, I realize one probably has to pay taxes on the non-discounted price.  But at checkout, Sprint had assessed taxes "and other related" fees & surcharges of $71.09, which is higher than the sales tax of CA State and LA City, even if one were being assessed tax on the $649 price.
    Does anyone know if Apple's tax rate for purchase at a retail store is the same rate as Sprint's via the latter's website?
    I ask because I dislike the idea of having any sort of "hidden" surcharges built into the price if such surcharges are being assessed by particular to Sprint that wouldn't be assesed by Apple.
    I know the $199 price is the same via Apple but I'm not sure the "surcharges" would be.  Does anyone know?  If I can save a few bucks by avoiding a direct purchase by Sprint, I'm all for it.
    Thank you for your time,
    JC
    PS.  I qualify for the upgrade with a 2 year increase in my contract.  It's a 4 phone business plan with all data and appears not to change should I change to the iPhone from my current Motorola, unless of course I want to pay an increased monthly fee to use the iPhone as a tethered device.

    sprint has an upgrade fee, i believe it's currently $36, so that may be part of it.

  • Buying Sprint iphone 4S Thru Sprint Telesales

    Has anyone been placed on the waiting list for a 16G Sprint iphone 4s throught Sprint's Telesales?  If so, did you get your phone yet and how long did it take?  

    Contact Sprint. Sounds like an issue with their network.

  • I found iPhone 4S with sprint server and can't activate it , how do i activate ??? Please help me

    Help me activate iPhone 4S with sprint server

    No, but turning it to the police would be the right thing to do.  You trying to activate the phone would be the same as they suspecitng you of stealing it.

  • 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
