not only is the iPhone 6 unlocked, but the t-mobile phones work on verizon!

• Okay this is what I had to do to get my T-Mobile unlocked iPhone six to work on Verizon's network.
• I purchased my iPhone six from the Apple Store as a T-Mobile model and paid cash for it.
• I went on eBay and purchased an iPhone 5c barely working for $120 it had a cracked screen but clean icloud and Esn.
• I purchased a PagePlus nano Sim card off of eBay for five dollars.
• Note the iPhone 5c was a Verizon phone. That is most important.
• I activated the PagePlus Sim in the iPhone 5c.
• Verizon will not acknowledge any phone on their network that is not a Verizon phone.
• Once I activated it on the iPhone 5c Verizon now sees that as a Verizon phone and associates the Sim card with that ESN.
• I removed the Sim card from the iPhone C and put it in my iPhone 6 Plus T-Mobile phone.
• Now my Now by T-Mobile iPhone 6 Plus will work on Verizon's network.

Can a At&t phone that has not been unlocked though the carrier because the owner did not fulfill her commitment to pay for it be activated by inserting a Verizon Sim card into it and turning it on. I would greatly appreciate help on this. Thanks.

No.

Thanks for the answer.

Has anyone bought a Tmobile Iphone and activated it on Verizon and been able to use the Personal Hotspot without paying extra?

I'm sorry if this is ignorant because i haven't read thru every comment, but i have an iPhone 6 128gb thats brand new and paid in full purchased in august. my problem is i cannot stand sprint service anymore and would like to switch to Verizon, but they've said this is not possible. i know they are just trying to get me to buy a new phone. the question is how do i make this work? I've read enough of these comments to know switching phone carriers on the same phone is possible. somebody please enlighten me!!

No, they are telling you this because it is not possible.
Sprint phone will not work on Verizon.

Sell your Sprint phone and get a new one with Verizon.

As long as it is not Sprint to Verizon, it may be possible

If it is Sprint to Verizon, it is not possible.

somebody please enlighten me!!

Done!

That's why Sprint cell phones sell for less on eBay. Your best bet is to sell the phone on eBay. I bought a T-Mobile iPhone 6 Plus from the Apple store not under contract. I was able to use a Sim card from an older Verizon phone in my iPhone six and it works. Verizon will not activate a phone that they did not sell.

The best thing you can do is find a friend who is a Verizon iPhone and put his Sim card in your phone and see what happens.

I can confirm what rigor mortis reported is true.

I walked in to VZW today because I wanted to switch from T-mobile. I have a iPhone 6, 64GB, unlocked phone that was bought with T-Mobile. Before I made the switch I paid off the phone and requested an unlock code. After unlocking my T-Mobile iPhone everything was easy. Ported my number to verizon, and told them I wanted to use my current iPhone as it's unlocked. The first sales rep told me that it wouldn't work, so I asked to speak to her manager. I told them manager that my phone is unlocked and that if you put a Verizon SIM card into the phone, it will work. He was speechless when it actually worked.

Everything works. Visual Voicemail, VoLTE, data, and calls. When you log-into My Verizon on their website, your phone will be listed as a "non-vzw device". Big deal. Everything works! Don't let Verizon lie to you. As long as your iPhone is unlocked, and anything BUT Sprint, all you need is a Verizon SIM card and everything will work.

As you will find over time everything will NOT work. If you travel to an area without LTE coverage where only CDMA is available, or to a "partner" network, the phone will not work. If you want to enable International roaming features, you will not be able to. SMS will not work reliably, and MMS probably will not work at all. There's plenty of evidence from other users that everything does not work. Some things work. But if something doesn't work Verizon will not help you resolve it.

Lawrence,

For me anyway, SMS, and iMessage work fine. MMS works, as I can reply to group texts with android users and apple users, as well as receive pictures. I'm in NYC so service so far has been spectacular. Will need to see if the signal stays strong once leaving the metro area. That was the main reason I wanted to switch to VZW in the first place.

Hi,

I was on Verizon and left it because T-mobile was so much cheaper. What I didn't know was T-mobile will not work in the area in which I work or live. They kept saying a tower was down, until the 14 days were over to return it.

I took my iPhone 6+ (model A1522 GSM version T-mobile) in to Verizon and they tried everything to get it to work on Verizon. Two of the workers took their own sims out of their iphones and tried to get it to work. I took my sons t-mobile 5s in because it used to be a verizon phone, and it worked immediately. Do you know if your phone was an A1522 CDMA, or A1522 GSM? I have read on some sites that both A1522 models support 4-bands GSM, and five-band CDMA2000. Is there no way I can get my iphone to change over to Verizon short of selling it and buying a new phone?

Probably not. However, the trade-in value Verizon gives you should be pretty close to the price of a new phone. You may be able to get more selling it yourself but that might be somewhat less convenient.
