Can I unlock my iPhone 4 to use for prepaid?
I have a CDMA Verizon iPhone 4 (version 6.0) with a clean ESN. Is it possible to unlock it somehow and use it with a prepaid service such as straight talk or Virgin Mobile? If so, how can I do it?
You can't unlock a cdma phone and also you need a gsm phone for Straight Talk. Virgin Mobile is a cdma carrier so maybe you can call them an inquire about "flashing" your phone to them. It's possible but not probable.
Call verizon to unlock it.
- When I unlock my iphone can I use a prepaid SIM card when I travel? I live in Germany and a friend sold me her iphone 3gs when her contract was up. She said the phone would be unlocked after a certain date but it hasn't yet. If i do this myself will I be able to use any SIM card? I have 1and1 for phone service and when I travel to the states I get a prepaid SIM from tmobile. Will these work on the iphone too?
- What's a prepaid phone? Can IPhones be prepaid? I'm going to buy an IPhone 4 from my friend and i'm wondering if it can be prepaid? If so do I need anything like a sim chip? & It's not on contract… Or could I just go on a plan without being on a contract?
- Unlock iPhone 4S and use prepaid? I have a AT&T iPhone 4S and my bill is outrages! I'm planning on getting on a prepaid monthly service with someone & I heard StraightTalk & all kind of other things BUT I would have to unlock my phone. If I get a pay as you go SIM for AT&T (since my phone is a iPhone AT&T) will I still have to unlock it or no?
- If I can buy a iphone 3 from somebody, can i use it with T-mobile prepaid? The former owner of the phone who is selling it says that they used it with T mobile on the prepaid and on the 2year plan. Would it still be possible for me to use it on the prepaid plan if I got a plan of my own through t-mobile?
