Can I use Verizon iPhone for cricket? - 1

If I have a regular non smart phone with cricket & my friend gave me a Verizon iPhone can I use the iPhone with cricket? Like can I get the Verizon phone flashed if its not in use? And could I use an iPhone without a data plan? Like if I don't have Internet could I still use a iPhone for a cell phone?

Sorry, but no you can't. The Cell Phone Companies have sim card in their phones and they can only be used with said Company. It is a hassle to have them removed i.e. Permission from the Company etc… Not worth it.

  • My iPhone 6s plus carrier is cricket 26.1 but when I use the cricket sim it does not work. What is up with that? It use to be a t-mobile carrier but after I tried to unlock it with the cricket sim, the carrier suddenly changed to cricket 29.1 but it still did not work.

  • Can you flash Verizon iphone 4s to cricket? I want to buy an iphone 4s. Now, I was told it could be flashed to Cricket. And also that it can be unlocked to work on prepaid plans like T Mobile & AT&t. I have googled it and only found mixed answers. It is a 4S, CDMA / GSM phone. Any insight would be helpful. Anyone who has actually done this? I don't want a contract plan. That is why I'm looking at different options with pre paid companies.
