Can I switch to an unlocked iPhone?
So currently I have an iPhone 5s thru Verizon, but I'm wondering if I were to buy an unlocked iPhone 6 from Apple, would I be able to just take the sim out of my 5s and put it into the 6? Would it work perfectly fine/normal, and my upgrade date wouldn't even have to be moved up either?
No reason why not
Not exactly in the case of Verizon. The SIM they provide is for data use, not phone/text. You'd have to go through them in order to get that done.
No clue about the upgrade date.
Not with Verizon. Verizon uses the old CDMA cell system, instead of the modern GSM system used by everyone else. And CDMA requires a special version of the iPhone that is available only from Verizon. Apple stores do not sell it.
- Would I be able to switch carriers without having to switch phones? I'm with Consumer Cellular and I have an iPhone SE, but I'm thinking of switching carriers so that I can get unlimited data. I don't want to get a new phone because I've had my current one about six months, I really like it, and it works great. I'm not locked into a contract with Consumer Cellular. Would I be able to switch to another carrier without having to purchase a new phone?
- Will an unlocked iphone 4S work for tmobile if it isn't factory unlocked? I want to get an iPhone 4S and my friend has the iPhone 4 unlocked but i'm worried that if i get it non-factory unlocked it won't work. My uncle tried to do it a couple of months ago and apple said that if it was factory unlocked every time the phone shut off or died it would reset. I was just wondering if the same thing would happen if it wasn't factory unlocked? So if I get it unlocked everytime it will shut off it will reset? That is what i'm worried about.
- Unlocked vs factory unlocked iphone? So I'm thinking about getting an iPhone but I wanted to know if I could take an unlocked iPhone to the Verizon store an them set it up for me? I have no clue what the difference between factory unlocked, unlocked, and locked iPhones are
- Is it possible switch to unlocked iphone 4s with bigger hard drive? I have a 32 gig iphone 4s that i have had for 2 years now with verizon. If i buy an unlocked 64 gig 4s and bring it to verizon would they be able to transfer my phone number to the 64 gig and deactivate the 32 gig so i can pass it on to someone else? How much would they charge as well?
