Fully aware of who Uber is...worked for them. We agree from what I can tell. My phone is GSM NOW...wasn't before. I did pay a third party company, with careful research, and I was able to choose my network. this isn't rocket science. Wasn't attacking Rolf either so I apologize if it seems that way. I assumed the information was outdated that was wrong.my iPhone 4s which was once locked to Uber is now on MetroPCS network

was there something about the English that I wrote that was hard to understand? No uber is not a cell phone carrier don't be an idiot. This is ridiculous I'm probablyleaving this supposedly support site. Didn't realize M effers don't get basic s*** . Not continually coming back to this site to repeat myself over and over again. I paid a third party company. My phone was locked to Verizon CDMA network. It is now unlocked and on Metro PCS. the reason why the iPhone 5 is unlocked out of the box because it's the law. Passed last March. Now I'm out you folks can keep chatting about whatever it is you're chatting about. I'm done...sorry you're all having trouble figuring it out. I took the time to research it and found an avenue that works for me. It is possible. You will have to pay a third party, which is totally worth it for iPhone unlock. I'm not advertising some ridiculous site, as they don't always work for each individual. Good luck. Peace.

No, I can understand it. You said your iPhone was locked to Uber. As Meg said there is a different kind of activation lock a company can do but it isn't the same thing being discussed in this thread. Not sure why you had to pay a 3rd party to unlock since Verizon offers that.


No, the Verizon iPhone 5 and later models did not have the GSM side unlocked because of a law that was passed. They made an agreement to unlock the GSM side of their phones when they made a large bandwidth acquisition through a merger. And there was no law passed in March, there was a CTIA agreement that was forged between the major cell carriers and the FCC which is largely voluntary. It has nothing to do with all new phones being unlocked out of the box.


So you paid for an unlock that you could have done for free. Good move. Glad you are leaving here you can't seem to get any facts straight.

Just picked up a pre-owned iphone 4s from best buy in the USA..100 bucks..Verizon was the carrier. Took it home to Canada put my carrier sim card in it and it works fine...no unlocking. Verizon even states on it's website that it does not lock this particular phone...should have bought 10 of them!

Yes, Verizon has just unlocked all of the iPhone 4S phones they've sold. However, this thread was about the iPhone 4.
