IPhone: Sprint or Verizon?
It depends. When it comes to coverage, Verizon is by far, better, it’s not even close.But when it comes to compatibility with carriers, it depends. If you have a 5/5S/5C/SE, the Sprint version will not work with the other carriers, but the Verizon on will work with all carriers, including Sprint. If you have a 6/6S, it doesn’t matter at all. Finally, if you are getting the 7, both the Verizon and Sprint models are compatible with every carrier, but the Sprint version is only unlockable after 50 days, whereas the Verizon model is factory unlocked.
How can I unlock my Verizon iPhone 4s?
Before considering to unlock your phone, you must know that Verizon is a CDMA network and you might not be able to use it with most networks.In some cases, CDMA phones might have a SIM slot, but they support only foreign GSM network. This means you cannot use a Verizon phone with a GSM network inside the US, but you can use it with a GSM network in another country if you travel abroad.
Why do some Verizon iPhones have sim card slots?
The Verizon iPhone 4S as well as the Sprint iPhone 4S both have sim slots. All of them. That's for international use and roaming. Still can't use them on AT&T because its still a CDMA phone. You must be seeing iPhone 4s (not the 4S, the iPhone 4). They don't have SLIM trays whatsoever unless they're for AT&T. Places like Verizon will sometimes put an iPhone 4 on a 4S stand if they run out. Walmart does the same thing with iPads. I still see first generation iPads on the Walmart stands that say the New iPad (which is the iPad 4).
Will I be able to use the Verizon iPhone 5 in Europe?
The U.S. iphone 5 has both GSM and CDMA and in U.S. the CDMA is locked to prevent you from switching carriers, but when the standard unlocked transmitter for GSM is automatically used in Europe, it is unlocked and a micro sim can be inserted for cheaper access for data, text and talk. SIM cards may be country specific or have braoder European coverage; check before you buy. There is no reason to have Verizon set you up as that will use their more expensive coveage plan.
Will an unlocked iPhone 5 work on Verizon?
Unlocking a phone means removing its network restrictions so that you can use it on any GSM network of your choice.Unlocking only works on GSM phones. CDMA phones on the other hand, cannot be unlocked.Apple now makes phones with both GSM and CDMA capabilities combined. Therefore, when you unlock something like the iPhone 5, only the GSM capability becomes unlocked.AT&T and T-Mobile are examples of GSM networks, while Verizon and Sprint are examples of CDMA networks.In conclusion, an unlocked iPhone 5 will not work on Verizon network since Verizon is not a GSM network. It would only work if the iPhone was from Verizon originally.Read more on CDMA vs. GSM: What's the Difference?

What does good ESN or bad ESN mean (verizon iphone 4)?
Verizon activates cell phones by the ESN number (14 digits) which is found on the inside behind of the battery of the cell phone. When a user who has verizon decides to sell his used cell phone and gives it to another person, Verizon checks the ESN number of that cell phone before they activate it. If that cell phone is tied to the person or previous owner who has a outstanding balance due or there is amount on their account that is not paid then Verizon will say that ESN number is bad and so that cell phone can never be activated again. So the person who bought that used cell phone from the previous owner is out of luck since he or she can't activate that cell phone by Verizon. If the ESN number is good then the person who bought the used cell phone or if his friend gave him the used cell phone, then there should be no problem activating the cell phone. It means the previous owner account was in good standing and there are no issues activating that used cell phone with a new account for the new person. So with any Verizon cell phone, make sure if you buy it online and used to always ask the seller the ESN number. Then you should contact Verizon Customer Care and ask them to check on a ESN number that you have. This way you know for sure if the cell phone can be activated or not. Otherwise if you buy the used cell phone first and later you found out the cell phone can't be activated then you just lost your money to someone online. The iphone 4 on verizon does not loose any connection when you grabbed it in a certain way.
Can my parents see what I search on my iPhone thru Verizon Wireless?
Okay we'll, there's no need to beat around the bush, I obviously asked this question, because I watch A LOT of porn. So my question is, can my parents look online, and/or call Verizon Wireless to see what I search? Yes, I clear my history, cookies, etc. But, I want to know if my parents can see what I search. I'm not talking about them taking my phone and looking thru it. I'm talking about them going on VerizonWireless.com and checking there. Some things to keep in mind are that; I'm only 17 (still a minor), I'm on a "Family Share Plan," where my parents pay the bills and all of that stuff. So can somebody please answer my question? Thanks so much! P.S. I've been watching porn on my phone for over 3 years LOL, and still haven't been caught. But there's always that "What if..."
