What do I need to do to activate an iPhone 4 that used to be on AT&T to my Verizon account?

A friend of mine gave me his old iPhone 4 and I want to activate it on my Verizon account. He had AT&T, and heard I can activate it on my Verizon account if the IMEI is unlocked. Is this all that is needed to be done for me to activate it through Verizon?

An iPhone 4 from ATT will never work on Verizon Wireless because it doesn't have the CDMA radio needed to work on the Verizon Wireless network.
The ATT iphone will work on another GSM network if it is SIM unlocked.  Your friend needs to request the unlock before giving it to you.

    iTunes runs on your computer, not your phone. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer. If you're using a Mac, and running OS X 10.5, you will need to upgrade OS X first.

    You should contact the department of studies at the school and ask what types of application that you might have to use.  If there are Windows based ones, then you may have to consider installing Windows in your MBA or get a PC.  This could have an influence on the amount of storage the MBA should have.

  • I have Hello screen after i slide to set up gel language options after select English , Egypt it request to connect with WI FI after connect start to activate my IPhone after that it unable to activated because the activation server is unavailable

    I have Hello screen after i slide to set up gel language options after select English , Egypt it request to connect with WI FI after connect start to activate my IPhone after that it unable to activated because the activation server is unavailable and request to connect to itunes and no activate.

    4 possible causes of that message:
    1] Activation server is actually down. Very rare occurrence, but it does happen.
    When it does occur, down time is very short. Solution - try again.
    2] Your firewall or antivirus are blocking the connection. Solution - temporarily
    deactivate your firewall or antivirus until the update completes.
    3] Computer being used for the activation has previously been used to jailbreak
    an iOS device. Solution - use a computer that has not been used to jailbreak an
    iOs device.
    4] Your iPhone is jailbroken. Google may provide some direction. Be advised the jailbreak
    may have made changes that will prevent the iPhone from successfully activating.
    Terms of Use for this forum prohibit discussion of jailbroken iPhones.

  • What do I need to unlock my AT&T iPhone 4s?

    I recenlty bought an iPhone 4s from a co-worker (they upgraded to an iPhone 5). It's in perfect condition. I love it so far (I'm upgrading from an old "feature phone"). Problem is, I want to set it up to use one of those StraightTalk-like plans. The iPhone 4s isn't unlocked yet and all my search results in deadends. What do I need?
    The co-worker kept the original SIM card, so I bought another, but it's for the service plan I plan on using.
    On AT&T's site they have an unlock request form, but it's asking things like the phone number. I'm assuming of the device I want unlocked, which would be the iPhone 4s, which is currently not in a contract, so has no number.
    I tried sending AT&T Twitter messages, which they usually reply fairly quickly, but have yet to respond to me about unlocking it.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The original owner transfered the number they had with it to their new iPhone, so I don't think submitting the unlock request with it would be a good idea.
    I'll see if they can go unlock it for me then, I guess...
    Will unlocking it cost anything?
    Ask AT&T.  AT&T and only AT&T handles this.
    All of your unlocking question can be answered by AT&T

  • What do I need to do to switch an iPhone from Verizon to T-mobile?

    I am currently on Tmobile and I found two different iPhone 4 for sale that are both on Verizon. I have the serial numbers, MEID, and they are both using 7.0.3 software.
    My question is what do I need to do to switch over? Do I need to unlock/jailbreak the phone? If so, how do I do that. If not, what else can I do?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    The original owners of those Verizon, would need to contact Verizon to have it unlocked.
    I believe if you live in the U.S. they will only unlock it for international use.

  • I need to turn off 'find my iPhone' so that I am able to restore my phone but my screen is not working. I logged into my iCloud but was not able to turn it from here. How do I do this?!

    My iPhone 4 screen stopped working. The phone is still on but the screen is not working at all, it is juts black. I was told restoring my phone might solve this problem so i plugged it into iTunes. When I click on the restore iPhone button a message popped up saying I needed to turn off 'find my iPhone' in phone settings for the restore to be go ahead. Problem is I cant access my phone!
    I went onto my cloud account to see if i could do it from here but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any ideas?

    From your iCloud account, you can go to Find My Phone and remove the iPhone from your devices list which will release it, or you could do a remote erase of the iPhone from iCloud.

  • What do I need to connect my Mac Mini to a TV using the S-video jack?

    Radio Shack didn't have anything in the store and suggested
    that what I needed (something with an S-video connector
    at the adapter end and a co-ax/F-connector at the TV end)
    would cost $100.
    What should I be looking for? I'd like the option to connect
    my Mac Mini to a TV (with enough resolution to read text,
    which isn't the case with a video-RCA cable), especially in
    a hotel room (using the Mac Mini as a laptop!).

    The DVI to video adapter

    will give best results using the S-Video. Next best is composite video. If your TV set does not have either of these, you will need a RF modulator to connect to the TV antenna connector. For best results get a modulator that takes S-video. It should cost a lot less than $100.00 Radio Shack has one for $25

    No matter what connection you use, a standard TV will not give you better than 640 x 480 resolution, so it will always be hard to read small text.

    Hi there
    First - congrats on the Macbook Air!
    Second -  MAKE sure you set up "Find My Mac", your iCloud and that you set a MBA login password before you leave your house!  So do all that reading as well.
    There are hundreds of instances of lost Airs and iPhones and people coming looking for help after they have lost them.
    Cheers
