What can I do with an unlocked iphone?
I haven't unlocked it because I don't know that any company can legally activate it. It is from Verizon. It was given to us by my mom. I believe it is an iphone4.
Added (1). what cell company can I activate it through after the unlock?
Anything you want
Unlocks concern GSM phones for the record. Verizon is a CDMA network. If you have an unlocked phone you can use it on any GSM carrier in the world, vs being locked where you can only use it on one, usually the one it was bought from e.g. AT&T.
In the case of a CDMA phone you'd have to try to flash the software & hope another CDMA carrier (like Sprint) would activate it on their network.
- 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.
