Can a prepaid verizon Iphone 4s be unlocked and used on tmobile?
I have a tmobile account and was woundering if I can take a prepaid verizon Iphone 4s and it be unlocked and used for my tmobile contract account
No. T-Mobile uses GSM network. Verizon uses CDMA network on their cell phones. So you can't use any Verizon cell phone on T-Mobile. However A T&T also uses GSM network like T-Mobile. So if you have a A T&T unlock cell phone then you can use it on T-Mobile network.
T-Mobile and AT&T both use GSM (sim cards). Sprint and Verizon use CDMA which is built in to the phone (no sim cards). You can unlock an AT&T iPhone to work on T-Mobile but it's almost pointless. The phone will work but it will be slow. T-Mobile and AT&T do not use the same network frequencies.
The iPhone 4s is actually a WORLD phone capable of being used on any GSM or CDMA network
there's NO SUCH THING as a prepaid iPhone 4s though, the iPhone 4s is $649.99 either locked to Verizon, or factory unlocked directly through Apple
and if you use it with T-Mobile, you will be limited to Edge (2g) speeds as the phone isn't compatible with T-Mobile's 3g/4g frequencies.
No, it will not work cos verizon is cdma.
- 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?
- Do Tmobile iPhone 5's work with Tmobile prepaid sims? I know its a pretty stupid question but I'm about to buy a used iphone 5 and I'm taking every precaution. So does the phone need a tmobile contract or be unlocked? Or will my prepaid sim work in the tmobile iphone 5?
- Can you jailbreak a iphone 4s on Verizon and get it to use prepaid on Verizon? My sister owes a lot of money for late bills on Verizon and we're wondering if it possible to get her iphone 4s unlocked and use verizons prepaid with those cards from wal mart?
- Can verizon iPhone 4 be used as a prepaid verizon phone? I have an iPhone 4 that was on my contract. I'm getting a new phone soon so I'm selling my phone to a friend but he wants to use it as a prepaid phone on verizon. It seems to me it wouldn't make a difference whether or not it was originally prepaid or not, but I as wondering if anyone knew the answer. Can a old contract phone be used as a prepaid phone?
