DirectUnlocks is one of the quickest providers of worldwide and cheap unlocks for the Verizon network. We usually unlock a Apple iPhone 4 A on Verizon instantly, sometimes this can be a little bit longer depending on a few factors.
We offer a live tracking service to keep you up to date on progress. Your Apple iPhone 4 A is secure during the whole process and there will be no interruptions to your Verizon service. Not likely unless Verizon agrees to release that phone for another carrier.
Have a look at this guide on identifying iPhone models:. The iPhone 4 you have is model A that should be printed on the back of the device , and if so, it is a pure CDMA phone so you cannot connect it to a GSM carrier due to differing radio technology. Even if you were to jailbreak it or get Verizon to unlock it, it's only going to work with another CDMA carrier.
A , MHz and that's primarily Sprint and Verizon. Since there is no SIM card in this device, you might not need to get it unlocked, but that will be a dialog between you and your potential carrier if they can provide coverage to it at the same time as Verizon may have it registered as "their locked device". Due to bilateral roaming agreements - each CDMA tower in the US can and does serve multiple carrier devices - so it's likely that Verizon could prevent you from using your device on a competing carrier until you fulfilled your contract or convinced them to release that device's status in the common database for cell phones.
There are well over 50 regional and national carriers providing CDMA coverage according to this wikipedia article so you might have considerable options in some regions of the US. Nore some of the information is old due to consolidation. Your main bets are C Spire , Sprint and Verizon. You can identify your phone model by looking at this Apple chart. If the serial number of your iPhone 4 starts with A, then your phone is CDMA and no "big" network will accept it other than Verizon. But not all is really lost.
Now, will Verizon unlock it? Possibly if it's off-contract but I'm not sure how they work. Jailbreaking the phone won't as far as I know give you much, because the problem is not in the software, it's the hardware. Now, the truth is, that there are other companies depending where you live that will use the Verizon Network these are called tier-2 or tier-3 companies and are usually local smaller companies that "rent" the big guys network and pay them for that!
These smaller services are usually more flexible because they are small and more efficient. You might want to talk to them to see if they can help you with this. So, since someone tracked me down to ask what we did, I figured I'd post a followup. I won't accept this as an answer since we're not really satisfied with it - it's just the best option for now. In the time that I posted that and the time we decided to switch, Verizon created a smartphone pre-pay plan.
In short, it helps to save 45 or so a month, but you don't get the same service. On balance worth it for us. I have activated 4 iPhone4's plural, not 4s that were originally Verizon phones.
