Hi
I bought a refurbished phone They said it was unlocked but every time I restart it it prompt a message that I don't have a Verizon SIM and I can't use the 3g networks how can I fully unlock it for use in Mexico
I appreciate the additional information provided mama23dogs. I would like to provide some clarification regarding unlocking devices to use out of the country. All of our 4G devices already come unlocked for international use. However, the device must be activated on a Verizon Wireless account. Unforatuntely, we do not have the ability to make or further unlock a device to be compatible with another carrier out of the country.

What phone is it?
Do you have a Verizon account with an active phone line? Is that active phone line / SIM card actually installed in the phone?
It sounds like you just need to put a SIM card in it; it doesn't have to be a Verizon SIM card and if you're in Mexico (living there) then you'd want to get a local SIM card anyway.
I m using it but I can make calls and sms but I can't use 3g network only 2g
I don't have an account from Verizon I buy it here it's a gsm HTC one m7
Is it the international HTC One M7? I don't think it's an issue with Verizon, it sounds like something to do with the phone and the SIM card you're using. Check under the network settings.
How can I know if it's a international HTC m7 ?
IN the past 2 years Verizon has unlocked all its phones, at least all that were connected to the network. Any phone that hasn't been on the Verizon network recently may not be unlocked. When I first put my Galaxy S3 back on the network, it had not been unlocked.
since it is asking for a Verizon Sim, we can assume it has been locked to Verizon network.
YOu ou will have to contact Verizon to have it unlocked.
