Iphone Verizon simlock unlocked exchange cause of warranty

I bought an Iphone 5 in the US last summer with a Verizon simlock. Because I am from Germany, I paid to have my phone unlocked permanently in the store so I could use a german simcard. Now because of warranty issues, I'm going to get a new Iphone from Apple. But this model has the Verizon simlock again. I already paid for unlocking, so my question is, where can I send my unlocked old phone IMEI and the simlocked new phone IMEI, to get my new exchanged Phone unlocked?

Unless I am mistaken all Verizon iPhones come unlocked with the ability to use a foreign SIM card in it. You do not need to do anything special in order to use a SIM card from a local German provider.

  • HT4528 is a single crack on the front screen of an iphone 5 for verizon  covered under the one year warranty

    is a single crack on the front screen of an iphone 5 for verizon  covered under the one year warranty at no cost

    Not unless the crack is determined to be caused by a manufacturing error.
    Accidental damage is not covered under the standard one year warranty, which is a limited manufacturing warranty, not insurance.

  • HT4528 Verizon tells me that the iphone 5 is unlocked.  is that true?

    Verizon customer support tells me that my iPhone 5 comes out of the box unlocked so that I can replace the sim with another sim while traveling internationally.  Is that true?

    Yes. The SIM slot in the Verizon iPhone 5 is unlocked out of the box. This is required by the FCC in exchange for Verizon winning a spectrum auction last year. It will work with any compatible GSM carrier, including AT&T and T-Mobile in the US. It will not get LTE service on any US carrier other than Verizon.

  • I paid early termination fee two months ago to Verizon and am now out of the country. Am trying to unlock the phone but the local guys say they are not able to. I see from the blog here that iPhone 5 comes unlocked. Is it true?? Do I still have to unlock.

    Thank you for reaching out to us, Texasman. Sad to see that
    you have left the VZW family, but it is definitely awesome to be able to
    travel! Regarding your iPhone 5, the phone is unlocked for international usage.
    Just need an active local SIM card that is compatible with your iPhone. Your local provider
    may need to configure some settings under Cellular, but it should pick up signal. Just in
    case, make sure that Settings>Cellular>Roaming>Voice & Data are
    active.

  • Unlock iphone verizon

    Hello
    Im from germany.
    I have a problem. How can i use the verzion iphone in germany??
    Please help me!

    Verizon can unlock the SIM slot for international roaming, but will only do so for current customers in good standing.
    Buy a phone you can use instead of a gray market phone from the US.

  • Are all Verizon iPhone 5's Unlocked??

    I had heard that all iPhone 5's from Verizon come Unlocked. Is this true? Do they come facotry Unlocked or do they have to open the box and Unlock it?

    I believe the GSM side unlocked but the CDMA hardware is locked to VZW.

  • If I purchase an Iphone 5s factory unlocked in the US from the Apple store and bring it to India, will I be able to purchase a global warranty? If not then will i be able to get the phone serviced here in India from the authorised dealer/agent in India?

    No, as there is no such thing for an iPhone.

    Nope. You'll only be able to get the phone serviced in the US...no one will touch it in India.

  • If my iphone 4s was unlocked by AT&T, but I need to use my warranty for a new iphone. Do I need to reunlock the new iphone? or will apple give me an unlocked iphone?

    If my iphone 4s was unlocked by AT&T, but I need to use my warranty for a new iphone. Do I need to reunlock the new iphone? or will apple give me an unlocked iphone?

    If your phone is officially unlocked, you will get an officially unlocked iPhone if yours is replaced under warranty. Apple maintains a data base of officially unlocked iPhones & can verify whether your phone is officially unlocked or not. To be safe, point this out to the genius bar, if you go to an Apple store or whoever you talk to, if dealing with AppleCare.

  • Work the iphone 5s factory unlock in verizon And t mobile??

  • I just bought an iphone 4s Factory unlocked, i was wondering if the 4g network will work? cause i got unlimited plans with t-mobile. and will Siri work?

    I have an unlimited plan for T-mobile and i order the iphone 4s factory unlock like a week ago. But i'm not sure if the 4s will work with the t-mobile 4g network and Siri. Can someone please help me by telling me what's will work with t-mobile and what will not work with the iphone 4s factory unlock. Thanks

    well i'm not really asking which is better for travel, i'm just asking over all which phone is better for the plan i have with T-Mobile, but i'm assuming is the Galaxy s2, but the only reason y im not getting that phone is cause that phone is way too big. sigh and i really like the i4s, been using iphone before as well, so i'm kinda use to it. But i see no point of getting the I4s if i the function that came with it to make it fun doesn't work. You get what i mean?? that's y i'm asking cause i don't know anything.

  • Not sure how to ask this; iPhone 5 carrier unlocked but question about refurb iPhone 5

    Ok, so. Sorry if the tittle is a bit confusing, im not really sure how to even word it myself.
    The short; I had some issues with AT&T at the begining of the year so i left them and had them unlock my iPhone 5 so i could use it with T-Mobile. But now im having this issue with my iPhone 5 were the home buton is a bit unresponsive sometimes. It started as it feeling a bit loose and making a clicking sound when slightly taped. I did go to the Apple store when it first started happening and they said it wasnt a big issue, that some did this, basicaly saying "Its normal dont worry about it." I said ok and went on my way.
    Now, when i had an unresponsive home button on my old iPhone 4 with AT&T all the Apple store did was give me a refurb. Ok, no issues, pop sim out of old iPhone, put in refurb iPhone, everything works fine.
    But, my question is; if they give me a refurb iPhone 5, how would the whole process work seeing as i had my current iPhone 5 unlocked by AT&T vs. buying it unlocked from Apple and im using it on a different network other then what i bought for?
    Sorry if its all a bit confusing, like i said, im not even sure how to word some of this.

    An exchange under warranty can be a new or refurbished iPhone with no way to tell the difference. An exchange under warranty if new or refurbished is called a service unit and is provided in a plain unsealed box with the iPhone only.
    Apple should have on record that your iPhone 5 is officially unlocked since the unlocking was done by Apple with iTunes after Apple was notified by AT&T that unlocking your iPhone was authorized by AT&T.
    Make sure this information is on record by Apple before the iPhone is exchanged if Apple determines the iPhone needs to be exchanged under warranty.

  • T-mobile iPhone 5s IMEI Unlock

    Hello all,
    I'm planning on buying new iPhone 5s from T-mobile, and I'll be sending it to my sister for her birthday gift. I've been a T-mobile customer for 7 years, they said I'm qualified to get the device with contract. I'll be using my current phone and be paying the payment until I finish my Master's degree, thereby IMEI number should stay clean.
    Problem is, her birthday is coming in few weeks, and according to T-mobile, there are some regulations regarding unlocking IMEI, such as waiting 40 days, etc. So I'd like to get it unlocked with my own expenses by having it unlocked by a private company regardless the T-mobile's regulations.
    Here lies the questions.
    a) Can the device be unlocked despite the fact that it is under the contact?
    b) Also when IMEI is unlocked, is it permanent and cannot be re-locked for any reason?
    c) Last question. Once the device is unlocked, can it be used in other countries other than US? My sister lives in South Korea, her carrier requires GSM devices as far as I remember.
    d) In case she misplaces it, can it be registered to Find My Phone thingy that helps the owner to track the lost cellphone even though IMEI number is unlocked?
    I understand that I do have some silly questions, I don't have much knowledge on cell phone and carrier stuffs.
    Thank you, I will look forward to hear from you.
    Matt.

    Only the carrier can unlock the phone, if supported. Installing software on the phone to unlock it will void your warranty and can damage the phone.
    iPhone: About unlocking
    Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issues
    You can register the phone in "Find my iPhone", no matter if it is carrier locked or not.
    If the mobile network is supported, the iPhone can be used in more than one country.
    Apple - iPhone - Technical Specifications
    One more thing:
    The warranty for an iPhone is only valid in the country where it has been bought. In case of having to service the phone, you'll have to bring it back to the country of origin.

  • Is there anyway to get your iPhone 5 replaced if it is under warranty, and you are being forced to switch carriers through no fault of your own?

    My wife and I both have 64GB iphone 5. I am military and we had to move to a new town. Our service is with AT&T. They called us to tell us we were off network, and we could not use any of the data we pay for every month. And they have the option to terminate our contract at any time. So my question is, if this happens does anyone know if carriers, or apple will switch out your phone, or do we have to buy new ones.

    Afraid you will have to buy new phones.  Neither Apple nor any carrier I've ever had has considered that sort of thing a condition to replace your devices (AT&T and others have let people out of their contracts without penalty because of moving though).
    Before you leave AT&T, ask them to unlock your phones.  Then, you may be able to use them with T-Mobile - although T-Mobile is not fully compatable with all iPhone features yet, their service may be an option until you are ready to buy new devices.  Also, your iPhone 5's would likely still get you a decent return if you sold them, or just used something like Gazelle (Gazelle's web site just came up with an offer of $380 for 32GB iPhone 5, factory unlocked in flawless condition - $400 for your 64GB devices with the same conditions).
    So, you should be able to get enough for your iPhone 5's to pay the subsidized new contract cost of new iPhones with Verizon or Sprint.

  • Hi, I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. Any solutions??

    Hi,
    I recently got myself an apple iphone 5s (factory unlocked) phone from the US. However on using the same in India with Vodafone, i am facing a problem where the connectivity keeps switching to EDGE most of the time. I have a 3G plan but most of the time it switches automatically to EDGE. Thats when i have to either switch Airplane mode - On/Off and then it acts normal. Any permanant solutions to fix this problem?

    Return the iPhone personally or via friend/relative/co-worker who is in
    the US. The warranty is valid only in the country of original purchase - the USA
    in this case. Apple will not accept international shipments for evaluation nor
    will Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
    How did the iPhone from the US get to you in India? Reverse that process to
    get it back to the US so someone can take it into Apple.
