If I buy a Verizon iPhone 4, can I jailbreak it and activate it with another carrier?
It's new and is without a contract.
Probably
Definitely yes!
Jailbreak is like using an openline phone any telecom carrier could be used.
Using jailbreak phone.
No, but you cann UNLOCK it using unlocking utilities. Jailbreaking just allows for software modifications.
You can't. The carrier would have to do that seeing that it is a CDMA model.
- 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?
- If I buy an iphone separately can i activate it on verizon? So I have an iphone and data plan already. If i buy myself another 4 (because mine is broken but usable) will i get charged if i activate it? Like basically if i replace my already activated iphone 4 with a new iphone 4, will it cost money?
- If i buy a used iphone 4s can i activate it with verizon's prepaid plans? I'm a minor so i can't get a contract on my own, so i figured that a prepaid plan is the best option for me. Is there any sort of deposit or contract or credit check or anything like that? And is it one of those prepaid plans that you get on a card from walmart or something?
- 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.
