how do i unlock an iphone 4s locked to sprint

I am sorry you are wrong about Sprint unlocking for US GSM, they will ONLY give you the MSL code which is useless. This is a current issue, google the problem and as of yesterday people are asking these questions and being given the run around by Sprint.

I understand the issue with old threads that are irrelevant being revived but this issue is currently still going on with Sprint and Apple.

Correct. Sprint will unlock phones that are not currently under contract. They've been doing it since April, 2015. However, many of their CSRs are clueless as to how to go about it. So sometimes it's necessary to escalate to a supervisor.

I will continue to attempt to get Sprint to do this, but as of 4 days and about 6 hours on the phone , Sprint claims it can not unlock the iPhone 4s for GSM domestically. This is a phone that is no longer on contract that was not needed due to my friend upgrading her service. She continues (not for long now) to be a customer of Sprint.

She plans to not renew her contract due to this problem.

Neither of us are incompetent or unskilled with cell phones. If we are having this kind of problem I can't imagine the average consumer who doesn't understand all the terms used and is being given the run around.

If you doubt what I say, just google "unlock a Sprint iPhone 4s for GSM carrier". You will find 100's of current results.

I'm really sorry you're having a tough time with Sprint. As Larry notes, they don't seem to make it easy. But, it's still not an Apple issue. You're going to have to continue to work with Sprint on this.

Just call them up and tell them that you are traveling to another country and you would like to get your phone unlocked.

Believe what you want. Until they publish that, it's just rumor.

You can call sprint yourself and ask for an unlock and they will tell you to either wait till the contract ends or you could pay the ETF so you know I'm not lying.

A) That article is old.

B) That article does not address the fact that the Sprint iPhone 4S can NOT be unlocked for use on any U.S. based GSM network.

The article addresses the part where it states the iPhone 4S is a world phone and is capable of running on other networks (a statement you completely denied earlier.)

I don't doubt you. I DO know people who have gotten their Sprint phones unlocked. However, either by design or incompetence many of Sprint's customer support staff haven't gotten the memo.
