Is it possible to use my Verizon iphone on another Carrier?
So my mom is giving me her verizon iphone 4, she is getting a iphone 4s, But i'm not on her plan. I'm on virgin with a android and want to upgrade to the iphone. Is there any possible way of getting my verizon phone unlocked and putting it on virgin. BTW it is CDMA i don't know what that means but i think it means that the radio signals are differant, but if i can't do it on Virgin are there any other carriers like virgin (cuz they are really cheap) that offer about the same coverage and price.
Sure you can, providing the other network supports CDMA.
You will need to have your current carrier unlock the phone if it's locked. That normally costs about $25.
Then you can go to any carrier.
No you can't. Verizon uses proprietary CDMA as does Sprint. Yet they are not compatible - different frequencies.
You can't unlock it and it won't work on any other carriers. You can however look into Verizon prepaid service. It will be cheaper than a regular plan.
Yes, it is likely to be possible
- Use IMEI blocked iPhone on another carrier? (Read description first)? The phone was legitimately purchased by me at GameStop. The phone worked for a few seconds and quit on me. By calling 611(the AT&T wireless customer portal), it indicated to me that it's IMEI blocked. I'm using a GoPhone SIM card and was wondering if I could just use T-Mobile instead to use the phone. Edit: I was using an iphone 3G for about a year and then moved my card over to the 4s.
- Can I use my sprint phone with another carrier if it isn't paid off? I current have a iphone through sprint but the plan is pretty expensive. I'm thinking about switching to boost mobile. Can I use my sprint phone with boost mobile even though i haven't paid it off with sprint yet?
- My iPhone 5s carrier is Verizon but my Verizon SIM Card won't work? I bought an SIM Card off of Amazon but it still doesn't work? It says it's invalid and that it's not the right carrier. I bought it off Craigslist but I have all the info, even the date that the phone was purchased.
- If you unlock a verizon iphone 4 can you use it with any carrier? I was wondering if you unlock a verizon iPhone 4 can you use it with other carriers like sprint or t-mobile or something?
