How do I 'unlock' my SIM card from nTelos to Sprint?
I have a plan with sprint and a working SIM card that I took out of my broken iPhone SE. Since my phone broke, I'm using my dad's old iPhone 5S and the 5S was under nTelos (A company that Sprint has bought). I put my SIM card from the SE into the 5S and it wasn't compatible. My dad's phone still has his old number on it, I want to be able to use my SIM card and have my number on his old phone. I was told to call nTelos and get them to give me a code to unlock the SIM? I don't know what to do
Call the old phone company to unlock your father's phone. That will make it more willing to accept another company's SIM.
Its not the SIM that you unlock, its the phone. Since Sprint is a CDMA network I'm not 100% sure of how it works in terms of getting a phone from them to another network be it CDMA or GSM
It's not the sim that needs to be unlocked, it is the handset itself. You can ask Sprint to unlock the 5S, if Sprint now owns nTelos. They should be willing to do that, seeing that you are a sprint customer.
There are people who sell unlock codes on ebay, but I don't have any experience with them to recommend them as legit or not. But that would be a last resort…
- Will iPhone 5s from Verizon work with nTelos? I have an upgrade available right now from Verizon and I would like to buy an iPhone for my girlfriend who has nTelos. I'm buying the iPhone from the Apple store. Will it work on her network or not? (Btw I plan to buy the iPhone and activate it, then deactivate it and reactivate my old phone)
- Will cutting my sim card work to use as a micro sim card? I just ordered an iPhone 4 and I need to cut the sim card to make it a Micro sim. Will it affect it. I have seen a bunch of video and already have the template it for it. I'm using simple mobile. Do you know if anything wrong happen to it?

- Is Ntelos a good iPhone carrier? I've been interested in getting Ntelos for an iPhone 4, does it have good service, is it better or just as good as all the other carriers? Please be specific.
