Can an Iphone from Verizon be connected to any other carrier?
A friend of mine gave me his iphone it was previously connected to Verizon but I was wondering if I could connect it to Simple Mobile or metro pcs etc. Its a iPhone 4 by the way thanks for the help
If Verizon unlocked the phone, then yes. I have an AT&T iPhone, and I had it unlocked by AT&T, so I use it with a prepaid service. If it's not unlocked, then your friend will have to call Verizon and put in the request to have it unlocked. Usually if the contract has expired, then they will do it for no charge, but I'm pretty sure the account holder has to be the one to do it. You can always call Verizon and ask someone from customer service.
It won't work with a carrier that uses SIM cards, because the Verizon iPhone 4 doesn't have a SIM slot (I had one so I know).
But some carriers *might* be able to "flash" (reprogram) the phone to work on their network - you'll just have to ask them.
P.S. Starting with the iPhone 4S, Verizon did add a SIM slot to the iPhone. But it only works when the phone is outside the USA, and even if you unlock it, it still only works outside the USA. That's different from AT&T iPhones where once you unlock it you can use any SIM anywhere.
An iphone 4? No it can't. Verizon used a CDMA only model. It wasn't until the iphone 4s that had both GSM and CDMA antennas. It is up to the other CDMA carriers whether they will activate the phone on their network. They more than likely will not.

Hi, The Problem is - i set up a wireless network today for my Iphone 5 and my blackberry, from my main desktop at home, and all went well and Both are connected to it, as well as my laptop. But now whenever i try using the internet on these devices ( iphone etc ) it does not work, although the main desktops internet is working… Can anyone help me? I'm using WINDOWS 7.
- My iphone says i'm connected to Wi-Fi but when i try to run something it says i'm not connected? My phone shows signal, it has a check mark by the device but when i try to open an app it says can't find a connection.
- 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.
- Is there any way possible i can get pokemon yellow or any other unzipped file on my iphone I had it on a laptop a couple years back. I was just wondering if i could have my favorite childhood games on my iphone without viruses or having to hassle with online shopping.
