I was given a iphone 5s to connect but its from verizon?

How do i connect the phone with verizon since i'm use to non contract plans and i was told verizon only has those for people who buy the phone and activate it and i can i only connect it with verizon?

The 5s from Verizon is unlocked and will work on many US And foreign carriers.

In the US, Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular use CDMA

Verizon iPhones use a technology called CDMA (it works without any SIM Card and all that). So this iPhone will probably work with CDMA carriers only. Outside of USA there are very few CDMA carriers.

AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM. Most of the rest of the world uses GSM.

  • Setting up a College-given Hotmail account in Mail or Sparrow for iPhone? I attend a school where the email given is hotmail, but the address is not xxxx@hotmail.com. When I try to access my account on Mail or Sparrow on my iPhone, I can't get it to work. It either says that it can't connect, or asks for ingoing/outgoing servers, etc.etc. And then tells me it can't connect. If anyone has any ideas for Mail or Sparrow they would be much appreciated! I will use whichever I can get to work, so please let me know if you have ideas for either app.
  • My iPhone says its up to date but its not? I have the iPhone 4s and every time I go into settings-general-software update, it says my software is up to date with iOS 6.1.3! All my friends have gotten iOS 7 already! Why doesn't mine say I need to update to iOS 7! And how can I make it say that? And I know that the iPhone 4s can get it.
