How to Set Up An Unlocked iPhone For Verizon?
So my boyfriend is in Europe and he lost his phone one night. So he bought an unlocked iphone 4s from a local electronics store and they said it would work with Verizon. How does he set it up while he's over there?
He has to have a Verizon sim inserted in it to activate it. Then he can set up normally or with this link.

Best luck.
If it is for Verizon in the US, they absolutely do not work with unlocked phones. You can't unlock phones from or to Verizon USA
Unlocked iPhone or any phone will not work on Verizon. They just wanted to sell the phone that's why they said that. Verizon requires CDMA phones and then only it will work.
He has to take it to a Verizon store or call them to activate it. Verizon doesn't use SIM cards since they are a CDMA carrier and anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.
The store was wrong. Verizon uses the old CDMA system, and the only place where you can buy iPhones that can handle CDMA is from a carrier that uses CDMA, which means Verizon or Sprint. Unlocked phones bought from Apple or anywhere else won't work, as they don't even have the hardware support for CDMA.
- Will an unlocked iphone 4S work for tmobile if it isn't factory unlocked? I want to get an iPhone 4S and my friend has the iPhone 4 unlocked but i'm worried that if i get it non-factory unlocked it won't work. My uncle tried to do it a couple of months ago and apple said that if it was factory unlocked every time the phone shut off or died it would reset. I was just wondering if the same thing would happen if it wasn't factory unlocked? So if I get it unlocked everytime it will shut off it will reset? That is what i'm worried about.
- When pre-ordering iPhone X, do you have to set it up with Verizon then and there or can you do that later? So I have the iPhone 7 so I can upgrade to a new phone because my 2 year contract is up, but my question is, can I pre-order the phone from apple and then transfer my 'line' anytime I want after receiving the phone?
- I bought my daughter an iphone 5c.Do i set up the Apple id/password first, or buy the plan, then set it up? I have bought Iphones before. But i didn't set them up. Do i by the plan, usually $40.00 first, then do the Apple id/password? Or vice versa?
