I purchased my IPhone when the lease was up. Don’t know if that was smart or not, however it’s done. How does one go about getting the phone unlocked. I’d like to switch carriers but after reading several replies, I’m worried that it might not be compatible with another provider. I’m at a loss as to what my options are.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Even if you purchased your iPhone from Verizon, they will unlock your phone after you own it and have a contract with them for a minimum of 45 days. In the future you can buy unlocked iPhones directly from Apple, just go to their web site and search for unlocked phones. You can even buy an unlocked refurb iPhone from Apple with a full one year warranty for less cost than the same model if purchased from one of the major carriers.
