Call sprint again and tell them that your contract has ended and you want your phone factory unlocked because your not on a contract with sprint if they still keep telling you know tell them you would like to speak with manager because I was clearly told you can once your contract ends but earlier I was told I can unlock my iphone I just had to wait 90 days so as long as you have your phone off contract they should unlock your iphone

You were misinformed. The Sprint iPhone 4S and 5 can not be used on any US carrier other than Sprint. This has not changed since the introduction of the iPhone 4S on Sprint.


The only CDMA iPhone that can be used on a US carrier other than the one it was originally sold for is the Verizon iPhone 5. The SIM slot is unlocked for use on any carrier in the Verizon iPhone 5 due to FCC regulations imposed specifically on Verizon in exchange for winning a spectrum auction in the US.

I was told the their policy has changed so I'm going with what they have told me which I believe to be true because they all spoke with their managers and they said once your iphone is out of contract it can be unlocked and they told me to call them whenever I want my iphone to be unlocked but once my contract ends. I should say she didn't say international unlock she said general unlock including all the other 4 reps i spoke with and she clearly told me once I unlock my iphone it could work on att and any other carrier on the us but they said the only issue I would have is that LTE won't be able to be connected with the iphone only 3G or 4G.
