WillVerizon unlock an Apple 4S for use with a European SIM card? If so, how do you get it done?

I need to travel to Europe next month and would like to just buy a European SIM card while there.

Yes, just call Verizon Global Support at 800-711-8300 and tell them you want to unlock your device for international use. I believe you must be a Verizon customer for at least 60 days and be in good standing.
To complete the unlock, you will need wifi access or be connected to iTunes when you insert the foreign sim (the iPhone does not use unlock codes like other devices). I would recommend purchasing an empty European sim on ebay for a few dollars to verify the unlock before traveling to Europe. You only need wifi/iTunes for the initial unlock, after that you can just pop in any foreign sim.

  • Can / will  Apple Unlock my iPhone 4 for use with an overseas SIM card?

    I have purchased a second hand iPhone 4 which I want to use when I travel overseas using a local SIM card, will my local Apple store be happy to block it so that I can do that or do I need to find a third party unlocking company? I would rather do it through the manufacturer but I am not sure whether this is allowed or not?

    If you have purchased the iPhone from someone else and you intend to use it on a differing network the ORIGINAL OWNER MUST DO THE UNLOCK BEFORE SALE as the phone iMEi number is tied to that account and network.
    The system is the registered user contacts their Mobile operator confirms iMEI number and pays appropriate fee.
    That Mobile operator submits the iMEi number to Apple.
    Apple white list iMEi number on their iTunes server and confirms this back to Mobile operator.
    The Mobile operator sends the registered user an sms/e-mail inviting them to sync phone via USB cable to their ITunes account.
    Registered user follows on screen prompts (With registered sim onboard) until they see the “Congrat's .........” message
    The registered sim can now be removed and replaced it with a sim from another supported network.
    Caveat with some of the Virtual networks such as Giff-gaff /Virgin/Lebara etc........ you may have difficulty getting SMS/MMS to send due to the APN settings being wrong (They default to the actual network sighted).
    Some of those Sims may give you access to a hidden menu feature that allows you to set the correct APN manually however others don't.
    Those that don't may mean you only receive SMS/MMS messages.

  • Want to hear about vCAC when used with Cisco UCS Director... How are you seeing this done?

    I have a client that has both VMware vCloud Automation Center, and Cisco UCS Director.
    They wish to constuct a net-new (Greenfield) data center and are hearing from both VMware and Cisco.
    I have researched, and found little regarding the merger of the two.
    I realize that very likely vCAC is teh "main" management platform, while Cisco UCSD will handle the more "physical hardware" tasks.
    REST API's will be leveraged as well.
    What have you seen written and done in this space when using BOTH?
    Please send me any thoughts or links to relevant data.
    I am having a hard time locating good data so that I an advise the client in a good way.

    Bahi,
    just to illustrate what mess this is, I tested for you on Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6) using the same wide gamut monitor. Here are two screenshots from that experiment. I converted the screenshots from my display profile to sRGB to show you what I see and scaled down 50% (this is a 30" behemoth). First Leopard.
    You see they are all the same, but different from the sRGB export you provided. The GB sticker is too blue and the tint on the car is wrong. I doubt anybody but a photographer would notice though.
    Next is Snow Leopard:
    Here the 320 pixel, the 480 pixel and the 960 pixel image are different from the 720 pixel, the 720p and the 1080p ones. Neither is strictly correct as they are all different from the sRGB display. This is consistent with their being no real color management, just gamma corrections and color space transforms (video is usually not stored as RGB but as YUV, necessitating a transform for display). Annoying, but not much you can do about it.
    Just doing some quick googling I came across many mentions of issues such as this. It clearly is just a big mess.

    Sounds like you bought an AT&T no contract phone. You will need to contact AT&T for unlocking but they are only doing so for current and previous account holders. If you have never had service with them they will not unlock your phone.

    An iPhone 4 CDMA is CDMA only. It doesn't have any GSM circuitry and doesn't have a SIM slot. You can only use it on the network it was originally sold for.

    Contact the original cellular provider, as they are the only ones that can provide unlocking.

  • Use a japanese iphone with a european sim card?

    Hello,
    My question is: Is it possible to use an iphone purchased in Japan (with a japanese sim card) in Europe with a european Sim card. I know it has to be unlocked but that's not a problem. My concern is the Sim card.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Need confirmation that an iPhone 6 (T-mobile version purchased from Apple Store) works with a European SIM card?

    Can anyone confirm 100% that an iPhone 6 ("contract free" T-mobile version purchased from Apple Store) works with a European SIM card? Has anyone tried it yet? Lots of speculation so far, but no concrete answers yet. Thanks!

    Perhaps and perhaps not. 
    The T-Mobile phone comes with a T-Mobile sim card inserted, so what you need to do is take that sim card out of the phone without activating it and insert the sim card that you want to use in the phone and then activate it.  The phone should and might work then, but only on 2g and 3g - due to the frequency differences you won't be able to get 4g/LTE on the phone.
    Remember if you do this you won't have warranty cover for the phone either - if you buy in the US, then its only valid for the US and no other country.

    I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

  • Unlocked old iPhone 3GS for use with pay as you go sim in the UK on vacation. O2 sim works while ph plugged in.  Unplugged, works short time and crashes.  Sometimes won't even re-boot.  Software on phone up to date as far as 3GS goes.

    I brought an old IPhone 3GS to the UK on vacation for use with sim card.  I had the phone unlocked with approval and instructions from ATT.  Store in the UK recommended O2 pay as you go sim which works as long as the phone remains plugged into the wall.  Once unplugged, it will work for a short time and then always crashes.  Sometimes it will re-boot and crash again and sometimes it will not re-boot at all.  One store told me to sync with itunes which I did on my Mac Book.  I don't know if the sim is defective or if the software of the 3GS is just not compatible with the sim when on the battery.  I have updated the software on the phone as far as it will go.  Any suggestions?  Maybe the phone is too old to use with the latest pay as you go sim cards.  I am disappointed that this phone has not been reliable as a pay as you go and I have had to purchase a UK phone here in order to have a reliable phone.

    There is nothing you can do. You bought an illegally unlocked phone off Ebay. A lot of sellers there will tell you it is unlocked but the first time you try to update the operating system it will put the lock back on to the carrier the phone was originally locked to. Sorry but unless the carrier it was locked to will unlock the phone I am afraid you have a very expensive paper weight now. You should have bought it from a reputable dealer instead of ebay.

  • Which iPad 4 versions can you use with Swedish mobile SIM cards?

    Browsing around user forums and getting more and more confused :b If I want to use an iPad 4 with a Swedish SIM card as of today = being able to use an iPad 4 in Sweden without Wi-fi connection, which models do I have to choose from? Read a lot about 4G technology not being compatible with Swedish technology etc.... Help?

    You can not "unlock it to T-Mobile". If the phone is locked to AT&T, ONLY AT&T can authorize unlocking it. Contact them and find out if it's eligible for unlocking. If it is, and you meet their requirements, they will process the request to unlock it. If it is not eligible, and/or you don't meet their requirements, then it can only be used on AT&T.
