Will my cdma sprint Iphone work after stopping plan?
Long story short; I'm a foreign student who bought an Iphone 4 with a sprint dataplan, now I'm forced to stop the plan early. There's no simcard hole in the phone which makes me think that the phone is cdma? Can i still use the phone by switching networks? Or can I somwhow get the phone to accept sim cards?
You're right, it is a CDMA phone. Now, it'd still work essentially like an iPod Touch (except with a built in GPS), but carriers aren't too keen on activating a CDMA phone from a different provider. It should technically be able to work, you just have to call whoever else you want to activate the phone with and ask them if they'll do it. But since it's CDMA, there aren't many carriers outside the US with CDMA. So really you should have gotten it over AT&A in retrospect (that's GSM and has a micro or mini SIM card slot). Or you should have gotten a cheaper Android phone unlocked so you could get it off contract.
It will have a bad esn and no longer able to work as a phone.
you can only use it as an ipod touch
You can't use the phone with any SIM card as it's CDMA and has no SIM slot. You can get it flashed to other CDMA carriers though. You can mail this person (arghyle@rocketmail.com) who can help you get the phone flashed to other carrier.
- Will the sprint iPhone Forever plan or a similar plan be available later this year? I don't have enough money right now and it expires soon, but I'm asking because it's a great deal and I don't want to miss out on it. Obviously you can't know for sure, but has anyone paid attention to previous years, and/or can you make an educated guess?
- Why does my iPhone iOS 6 update keep stopping? Whenever I click the "accept" it starts downloading like normal, but then it randomly stops and says "your network signal is weak, make sure that you have checked your network" or something like that… And I have a full 5 bars on my computer screen and the internet is fine… What's happening and how do I fix it? I have an iPhone 4s. Thanks! I did reconnect it and it seems to be working fine!
- Sony Vaio laptopwifi/internet keeps stopping? For the past week. My daughter's laptop keeps losing Wi-Fi and internet or taking forever to connect. Rang Vodafone who advised changing channels til we found one that worked. None helped the laptop. All other devices are fine. Is it just a coincidence that this has become a problem since she got an iphone 6 plus? She says she has turned the iphone off and the laptop still has problems. Tonight she and iphone are out and the laptop is connected- Wi-Fi and internet.
- Replacing cdma chip iphone 4 sprint? I have a sprint sanyo scp-3810 and i recently purchased an iphone 4 sprint. I was wondering how to transfer my CDMA card from my current phone to my new one and if i would receive a data charge since my current plan is talk only and I have Wi-Fi at home and at school so I don't really need the data? Any information would be appreciated.
