Q: Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked
Can I use my sprint iPhone 4S with another carrier if it's unlocked. Sprint will only unlock it if it's international. they will not unlock it if I want to use the iphone4s with another USA carrier. Why? I have paid for the phone and don't have a contract. I wanted to switch the SIM card and use tmobile or another provider because I am very dissatisfied with sprint service. Lots of drop calls and texting takes 15 to reach the other person. It is horrible,,,, I hate sprint!,

Sorry, but no, it isn't. Again, the 4S is completely hardware capable of doing both GSM and CDMA, which means it's totally usable on both AT&T and T-Mobile. If Sprint says that it can't unlock it for use with domestic GSM carriers, that's just an outright lie (unless by "can't" they simply mean "won't"). If they can unlock it for use with international GSM carriers, they could unlock it for use with domestic carriers. they simply refuse to.
I repeat: the 4S is 100% hardware capable of doing both GSM and CDMA. There is zero hardware difference between a 4S you get from AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint. There was for the 4, but not the 4S.
