Can you activate Verizon iPhone 5 on another carrier?
I recently bought the iPhone 5 under contract with Verizon but my mother disabled my phone and kicked me out so I wanted I know if you could buy on of those no contract sim cards from another carrier and put it in there? Because I really want to be ale to still use it:/
Yes it should work with gsm carriers as long as its not locked.
if it doesn't work email me and ill sell or trade you one that will work on a gsm carrier
No because each phone is MADE to work off of that company's cell tower and data network and the Sim Cards in the IPhones aren't regular SD Cards. The SIM cards are embedded into the phone itself so you won't be able to go and buy another SIM card and put it in a Verizon Phone. It simply won't work because the phone was manufactured for Verizon Carrier and NOBODY else.
The only you can connect it to another Carrier is by having somebody Jailbreaking it and disabling the Carrier's Settings on the phone. & If you try and do that without Jailbreaking it you will Disable the phone from being used with any other Carrier…
Also if your Mother disabled the phone it can't be turned on by anybody without her using the account password
Yep, iPhone 5 comes factory unlocked and it will work fine with any SIM.
- My iPhone 5s carrier is Verizon but my Verizon SIM Card won't work? I bought an SIM Card off of Amazon but it still doesn't work? It says it's invalid and that it's not the right carrier. I bought it off Craigslist but I have all the info, even the date that the phone was purchased.
- If you unlock a verizon iphone 4 can you use it with any carrier? I was wondering if you unlock a verizon iPhone 4 can you use it with other carriers like sprint or t-mobile or something?
- If I buy an iphone used from another carrier ad buy a sim card from my carrier will that work? I have an iphone 4s with virgin mobile and I want an iphone 5 but all virgin mobile phones are so expensive! I looked on ebay for virgin mobile nano sim cards and they are only around 2 dollars. If I bought one of these sim cards and a used iphone 5 from another carrier would it work with my carrier?
- I purchased a used Verizon iPhone 4 and want to activate it on my Verizon account? A friend uses her dad's old iPhone on her AT&T account as her phone without a data plan. I want to do the same and replace my 12 year old's flip phone. Verizon says I must purchase another data plan to activate this phone to my account. Any suggestions? Otherwise we're thru with Verizon.
