I'm trying to buy an iPhone 4s but was wondering if they ALL take sim cards.
My friend is offering me a CDMA iPhone but I am with T-Mobile (GSM Network).
Would I be able to use it on T-Mobile if I got the new sim card? I'm hearing mixed answers and would like to hear a straight answer.
Thank you so much!
iPhone 4S
No, all iPhone 4s devices do not use SIM cards. You cannot use a CDMA iPhone 4s, on a T-Mobile network.
"I'm hearing mixed answers and would like to hear a straight answer."
If that were true, why would you accept any answer you got here?
Because I'd like to find out which answer is right. Just wondering though, why are they called worldwide phones? I heard that's why I would be able to use a Verizon (for example) on T-Mobile? And I have another friend who has a Verizon iPhone but is using it on T-Mobile.. I'm not sure how but would not like to purchase an iPhone to find out that I wouldn't be able to use it. Thank you!
Yes, all iPhone 4Ss have SIM card slots. However, it's a bit more complicated than that. Verizon and Sprint will both unlock the GSM SIM slot on a 4S for international roaming. The phones won't work on GSM networks in the U.S.
I just would like to say that I did call Apple and they told me that I can use ANY iPhone 4s (not 4) on T-Mobile but getting it unlocked could be a big problem for the iPhones that are not already Factory Unlocked.
Just for everyone else who is having this problem! Good luck 🙂
Do all iPhone 4s have sim cards? So they are both GSM and CDMA
