Unlocking for international travel

Traveling abroad? Sprint customers traveling abroad for a short period of time can have their Sprint service provisioned to allow for international roaming. See sprint.com/international for full details.

Sprint customers remaining abroad for an extended period of time may want to try to use their Sprint device with a foreign carrier. For certain devices engineered to include a SIM slot, Sprint may be able to unlock the device's SIM slot in order for a foreign carrier's SIM card to be inserted. Sprint will unlock, or facilitate the unlock of, the SIM slot of an applicable device for international travel under the following circumstances:

  • The person requesting the unlock is a current Sprint customer who can provide the phone number or account number for the account.
  • The person requesting the unlock can authenticate as the Account Holder or an Authorized Contact
  • If the account is an ASL account:
    • There is no unfulfilled Service Agreement associated with the line of service.
    • There is no outstanding Installment Billing Agreement balance associated with the device.
  • The account is in good standing (including but not limited to: payments are current, no write-off balance, not associated with a phone sent to collections, etc.).
  • The subscriber with which the device is associated has not previously unlocked another device within the past 12 months.
  • The applicable device has been active on the associated line of service for at least 90 days.
  • The device is currently active on a Sprint account.
  • The device is capable of international SIM unlock.

Please note that unlocking the SIM slot does not allow for use with domestic (U.S.) SIMs. When using a foreign carrier's SIM it is important to note that all information, service and support must be provided by that carrier. You remain responsible for any charges to your Sprint account, as well as any charges from the foreign provider. Upon returning to the U.S., you may need to remove the foreign carrier's SIM to be able to acquire the Sprint network.

If you elect to use a foreign carrier's SIM in a locked device for use on international GSM networks, please contact Sprint Worldwide Care to unlock the device SIM slot. Sprint Worldwide Care can be reached via chat or email from sprint.com/swwsupport or by calling 888-226-7212.

You would need to contact Sprint about unlocking it.
