Unlocking Iphone 5 Not through Sprint
« on: December 06, 2012, 07:33:03 PM »
Anyone have any experience with unlocking an Iphone 5 without Jailbreaking it

Sprint (my Carrier ) refuses to unlock the phone because it not under contract and has been on the plan for less than 90 days

any advice how to unlock it

Thank You in Advance

iPhone 5 from Sprint comes unlocked for INTERNATIONAL use?
That's what I was told.
I heard it doesn't always work.
Anybody have any information?
Thanks!

I was told that it's only locked here in the States, but overseas it works without you having to do anything to unlock it.
I tried doing some research online and I hear that it doesn't always work, and sometimes it does but not data/sms.
Anybody have any info?

It comes locked even for international use.

Once unlocked, will only work with a SIM internationally (not in the USA)

Keep on calling. Eventually you will get a rep that will unlock it.

International Tech Department

You dont need the iPhone with you, all you need is the ESN/IMEI
