Is my Verizon iPhone 5C considered factory unlocked?
A few months ago my contract woth Verizon for my iPhone 5C ended, and I upgraded to the 6S. I want to sell my 5C, and have heard that if it is factory unlocked it will sell for more.
The phone isn't on my Verizon account anymore (it doesn't show up on my Verizon account on the website), I removed/disassociated the phone from my Apple ID, and so it doesn't appear on my iCloud anymore. I restored the phone to factory settings, and erased everything from it. I also removed the SIM card.
Is my phone considered "factory unlocked" now? Some places say I need to call Verizon because it is a CDMA carrier, but some places say that for Verizon iPhones you don't need to call in. IIm just confused and want to make sure I don't falsely advertise my iPhone as "factory unlocked" when it isn't.
Try a friends sim from another network in it - if it works its unlocked
Contact Verizon and ask them if your phone is unlocked. If it is still locked, they should unlock it for your for free.
- 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.
