Can you unlock a Verizon Iphone 4/4s and use a foreign sim card?
I wanted to know if I could buy a Verizon Iphone 4/4s and have it unlocked so I can use it while I travel to Europe.
No you can't because Verizon iPhones are CDMA which means sim free technology you would have to buy a unlocked iPhone
No you need get factory unlocked ones.
Yes, you can. Even though Verizon is a CDMA carrier (not using SIM Cards), their iPhones still have SIM Card slots for use with GSM carriers abroad. Once unlocked, you will be able to use their iPhones with any non-US GSM carriers by inserting their SIM Card. Please note though that using it with a US GSM carrier (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc) won't be possible as they are blocked. Abroad is no problem though.
To safe your money and nerves, you should get your iPhone unlocked at one of the more known online vendors like http://www.cellfservices.com/ as the market is full of rotten apples.
Only the 4S, the 4 is CDMA only, no way to unlock it, because there's no slot to put the new SIM into…
- Will out of contract Verizon iPhone4s work with foreign sim? I'm traveling to England for about two months and I would like to take a smartphone. However I have AT&T iPhone 4s and it is not out of contract therefore I can't get it unlocked and put in a SIM card from the UK. My friend has offered me her old iPhone 4s and she is with Verizon. I'm not familiar with Verizon at all so I'm not sure if I can slap a SIM card in there or if Verizon will unlock it if I call and get the codes like I could with AT&T.

- If I want to use SIM card for Verizon in foreign country, what kind do I buy? I want to travel to another country. I have Verizon iPhone 7+ in America. What should I know when buying a SIM card in a foreign country to avoid international fees and roaming? Do I have to buy a CDMA SIM card? Will I get a new number? Will I have to download my apps again?
