When will the iphone be available for Verizon?

I know the iphone only currently works with At&t but does anyone know when it will be available for use on Verizon?

Then what was Job's announcement about a month ago that he was going to make it available for other networks in February?
Sorry but you misunderstood this announcement that you are referring to since it means nothing of the kind.
What Apple is releasing in February for the iPhone is an iPhone SDK which is short for Software Developers Kit for 3rd party software development for the iPhone.
This has nothing to do with the iPhone being available on other networks which can't occur for the next 5 years which is the length of Apple's contract with AT&T to be the exclusive provider for the iPhone in the U.S. Regardless, the iPhone is a GSM phone which means it can be used on GSM networks only. Not only is AT&T the largest network provider in the U.S. by the number of subscribers, they are the largest GSM network provider in the U.S. GSM networks dominate the overall worldwide market by a significant margin and even if Apple made the iPhone available for other network, the only other major GSM network provider in the U.S. is T-Mobile.
Verizon, Sprint and Alltel have a CDMA network and the iPhone is not compatible with such networks. This would require Apple producing a CDMA iPhone in addition to the current GSM iPhone which I don't believe is likely even after Apple's 5 year contract with AT&T expires.

  • When will the iPhone be available in Canada ?!

    Because i cant set up an iPhone which i would have purchased online at apple.com then set up with Rogers. When is the actual realease date for the iphone in Canada ?

    If you're able to get to an Apple Store in the US, buy an iPhone. If you live in a larger Metropolitan area (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal) you'll be able to find an unlocker in your area for about $20. Then just pop your Rogers SIM card into the iPhone and you're up and running. That's what I did because rumour has it that Rogers is currently fighting with Apple over unlimited internet access and the pricing of the plans. One of Apple's conditions for allowing carriers to use iPhone is unlimited internet, but Rogers is currently charging Blackberry customers by the KB and if they allow unlimited for the iPhone, they'll upset a lot of customers. My guess is that iPhone plans will start at around $80 per month in Canada because of the lack of a national SIM-based GSM competitor for Rogers.
    I'm guessing this posting will be censored so I hope you get it. If you live in Greater Vancouver let me know and I can put you in touch with a reliable unlocker.

  • When will the iphone be available in South Africa?

    Any ideas when the iphone will be available in South Africa? My guess is that if Europe is 6 months away, it will be much longer before it gets to Africa. We don't have AT&T here. Will it be possible to buy a phone (in US or Europe when available) and have it networked unlocked?
      Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    When Apple makes an official announcement - anything else provided here is rumor and speculation only.
    The iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T Wireless only.
    Apple has not made an official announcement regarding which countries will be included and the cellular providers for the iPhone's European release but it doesn't appear that Apple will be selling the iPhone as unlocked in Europe either but nothing is official yet.

  • When will the iPhone be available in Australia?

    Hi,
    I've been hearing rumours and such about the release of the iPhone to Australian customers, and I really want to know from somebody in Apple as to when the product will be available.
    It just gets tired listening to what other people think of when it is comming and actually knowing would give people some idea as to when they should expect the product to arrive.
    Thank you,
    Patrick.H

    This is a user to user help forum only so no one here knows.
    If someone here is privileged to such information ahead of time, they aren't allowed to say.
    You must wait until Apple makes an official announcement.

  • When will G3 iPhone be available for purchase online?

    I don't have time to wait in L.A. lines for a new phone. Does anyone know when the new G3 iPhone will start being sold online at the Apple Store?

    Because the iPhone is being subsidized by AT&T, this may not ever be an option since they want to make sure people sign up for the AT&T contract and cut down on "unlocking" of the iPhones. But I would imagine in a couple of weeks things will calm down and you can purchase and activate your phone without a lot of waiting around.

  • When will the commercial version available??

    Does anyone know when will the new FMS available for Stratus? For my company deployment, we really want to use this tech but scared to always rely on the Adobe beta testing server.

    Next FMS release the one with p2p/stratus functionality is not even in
    public beta so it's like a wait for more then few months.
    But i think the stratus/p2p can now be used from adobe live cycle (ALCCS) as
    it's commercially available now.

  • When will IOS 4 be available for the Verizon CDMA iPhone 4?

    When will IOS 4 be available for the Verizon CDMA iPhone 4?

    There is no way to know such a thing unless Apple announces, which they very rarely do and speculation/rumor is not allowed here.
    Keep checking for updates in itunes or watch the forum.
    Someone will begin complaining about it within seconds of its release.

    when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
    I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS.  Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware.
