The only kind of phones that can be used with Verizon are other Verizon phones, so you would need a *Verizon* iPhone, not just any iPhone.
As far as locked vs.unlocked, that really doesn't apply to CDMA systems like Verizon and Sprint. Unlocked only matters for AT&T and T-Mobile which are GSM systems with SIM cards.
When buying a used Verizon phone, instead of asking whether it's locked, you need to ask the seller if it's got a clean ESN (the phone's unique hardware ID). Phones that were marked as lost or stolen by Verizon will have a bad ESN and can't be activated again.
Unlocked iPhone won't work on Verizon. You need Verizon iPhone if you want to use the phone on Verizon. If you need iPhone without contract for Verizon at reasonable price, mail me to yonoulee@gmx.com
No it will not work.
- Is it cheaper to get a new iPhone on a plan or buy it unlocked and add a cheap plan? I can either buy the phone for $250 and pay a monthly $80 plan with data for 2 years or purchase the unlocked phone $800 and pay $30 - $50 a month - I might not get data but it wouldn't be a big deal to me, I'm just trying to find a deal thats not ridiculously expensive cause I can't really afford too too much right now. Which would be better?
- If i use a Unlocked Iphone 7 on metro pcs can i still use it on my current plan? I want to buy a IPhone 7 unlocked online to use on metro pcs. I already have a family plan 3 phones for 90 a month. If i activate the iphone 7 can i still use the family plan or does the rate go up
- If i buy an unlocked iphone on Ebay, can i use it on a virgin mobile plan? I saw the iphone on virgin moble and it is a little more than i would like to pay for. I checked ebay and i was going to bid on an iphone in hopes to get it for a cheaper price. So i was wondering if i buy a "factory unlocked" iphone on ebay, would i just be able to go to virgin mobile's website and activate it?
- Can you use an unlocked iphone on an alltel plan? Can you use an unlocked/jailbroken phone on an alltel plan that hasn't been converged with Verizon?
