iPhone 4, iOS 4.2
If it's actually an iPhone 4, make sure the version of iTunes on your computer is up to date and plug the phone into it. It should detect it and offer the update to 7.0.6.
If you're actually running 4.2.1, you most likely have an iPhone 3G. Not an iPhone 4.

No, that is not possible.

Remove your serial number from your post.
that means or jailbreake or ios7 right the only 2 solutions for update?....:/ rly is a sh... apple should let the ppl chouse by own what version they like or are batter for all hands...anyway thx for your time guys
there is anyway to take whatsapp app on my version?
All the apps in the App Store have the requirements listed. What version of iOS does Whatsapp say it requires? If it is something higher than what you have, you'll need to update your system.
iOS 4.2.1 was released November 2010. There has been ample time for anyone using an iPhone newer than a 3G to update their iOS to 5 or 6, when those were still available. And it's clear that this device is at least one year old, which means that the latest possible activation date was March 7th, 2013. That means that 6.1.2, at a minimum, was available at that time.
The only reason you're 'forced' into iOS 7 at this time is because no one updated the device prior to September 2013.
Be advised that any unauthorized modification to the device runs the risk of permanently voiding any and all support from Apple, and that includes using iTunes to restore or update the device, and potentially, even blocking any Apple ID used on the device from using iTunes or App Stores or any Apple services.
I advise against unauthorized modifications.
i have 4.2.1 and it's say request ios 4.3
so...you recomand me to update to ios7? from what i understand there is a risc to fail my phone when i update to ios7?...or my english understand is bad?
That means the minimum IOS required is 4.3. Any iOS newer then that should work. I've seen a few exceptions to that, though.

I have been running iOS 7 on my iPhone 4 (8GB) since about June of last year, with zero complications. The vast majority of iPhone 4 users running iOS 7 have no issues. Of the few that report problems, most are traced to an issue with the settings on the device (which will get reset to default, usually, after a major iOS update), and some are simply not happy with the look of iOS 7, not the functionality.
The decision is ultimately up to you, but I have experinced no issues whatsoever.

Then you can't use Whatsapp unless you update.

My iPhone 4 running iOS 7 has never been laggy. Just like my 3GS running iOS 6 has never been laggy.
Iphone 4 4.2.1 upgrade
