IPhone 5 unlocked: for Sprint only?

I just bought an iPhone to send it to a friend in France. I repeated twice that I wanted "an unlocked iPhone for France". I paid the full price, more than $700 and when I arrived home I see that in the receipt that my iPhone is configured to work only on Sprint network…
Is this a mistake? Will it work in France?

Yes it should work just look around online it seems to me that the sprint and Verizon 5s are both unlocked out of the box but the AT&T is not so basically all you have to do is swap out the sim with whatever your buddy in France has and one u turn it on just go into setting and a lil thing that says carrier will pop up right under your locations in your setting menu and then if he ever shan't sprint again simply change them out
Hope this helps

  • Is there an iPhone timer app that has a minutes-only and/or a seconds-only option? I'm looking for a timer app on my phone where I can set a timer that counts down, but have it read literal minutes or seconds. Like instead of 6:00:00 for 6 hours, I'd want it to read 240:00 (240 minutes) or just have it read 14,400 seconds. I've downloaded about 20 free timer apps, and can't find what I'm looking for. Is there one? Even if it costs money? But I'd prefer it to be free…
  • Is Iphone unlocked only for 4g? Hi I just wanted to know what does it mean that Iphone is unlocked and carrier limited? Is it true that if Iphone is unlocked you can use 4g only with your own carrier(But you can make calls)? Or if it's unlocked that means you can't even make calls with it either(out of your carrier)? So if it's unlocked, then you can't make calls either?
  • I have sprint, Can I use At&T Iphone 4S? I lost my phone and only have this one? I want to know if Sprint will let me use a At&t Iphone 4S? I know T-mobile and other companies let you use other companies phones. Would I have to pay extra?
