Sprint's not going to domestically unlock anything before an iPhone 5. I got my 4S internationally unlocked, but no luck with domestic useage. Has to do with some sort of FTC regulations and Sprint just being difficult. As far as bringing a CDMA device to Sprint though... You should have no problem unlocking the Verizon 4S, but I’m not sure if verizon and Sprint are compatible even though they are both CDMA. Especially since it's an older phone. Needless to say, I'm done with Sprint branded devices. Straight GSM for me.

The thing is, I am with Verizon and she is with Sprint. I thought I could call Verizon and get an unlock code which would permit her to activate the phone with Sprint. However, someone told her (it may have been someone from sprint) that they won't allow her to activate an unlocked phone older than an iPhone 5. I have no experience with sprint or with passing along an old iPhone and I'm wondering if this is true. Can anybody shed some light on this issue?
