Hey, just had a few questions that I can't seem to find clear answers to about selling an iPhone...sorry if these have been asked 1923874 times before. I'm trying to sell an iPhone 4s and 5 both on verizon.

1. Do I remove the sim cards or leave them in?

2. Do I put the sim card from my iPhone 5 into my iPhone 6+ when it arrives or do I just need to throw it away?

3. How can I go about getting these phones unlocked so that I can sell them for more? Is it worth doing?

4. Is there anything else I should know or an article/guide I can read?

Thank You! :D

You take the SIM out; you don't have to use it. You can activate the new SIM that will come with your iPhone 6.

The iPhone 5 is unlocked on Verizon, and it's a global phone, so it will work with GSM network as well. The iPhone 4s doesn't have GSM radio in it, and I believe that you can only sell it to a Verizon customer.
 
Ok good. That's what I thought but I just wanted to make sure that putting "unlocked" in my ebay listing wouldn't be a lie. Thanks!
