iPhone 4S Broken Lock Button

Up for sale is my girlfriends iPhone 4s 16gb for Verizon. Had screen protector on front since day one as well as case. Zero scratches on the phone. Picture shows the screen protector is a little dirty. Lock button recently went bad. Other than that it functions excellent. $150

Wrong, this cannot be unlocked for att or t-mobile. This is a CDMA phone and will not operate on a GSM network like ATT or T-mobile

Wrong. iPhone 4S CDMA has a SIM card slot. How do I know? I have one and it's unlocked.

Your 4s Verizon iPhone has a SIM card slot for 4g, not for GSM. Children, I take these phones apart everyday and fix them for people. Trust me. You can't use a CDMA phone on a GSM network. The only iPhone that's ever been made that could do this is ONLY the Verizon iPhone 5. The Verizon iPhone 5 comes from the factory unlocked and is a legitimate "world phone" and can jump back and forth from CDMA to GSM. BUT it cannot use both bands at the same time. No phone can.

Because the 4s is totally equipped for 4G/LTE.
The SIM card is for GSM. Why? Because the 4S is a World Phone.
I have first hand experience using this phone in and out of the country on GSM networks. Countries that use GSM. It's the reason why I bought this phone.

Just because you work for Verizon as a tech doesn't qualify you as an expert, child.

Maybe you're right. But the iPhone 4S does use HSDPA+ which is 4g. Nevertheless, the phone is sold anyway.

is it an easily replaceable part? I was thinking about replacing that and my broken screen then selling it.

Mine stopped working after I put the green screen in and I didn't feel like taking it apart again. I feel like something just comes loose, idk.

I know in the 3GS, the lock button, silence switch, volume toggles AND 3.5mm headset jack are all on one ribbon cable The 4 and 4s ribbon cable is similar, but i think the actual button is replaceable. But if you're not getting any "click" or the phone isn't locking, it's a defective ribbon cable. Which sucks because you'd have to take out not only the lock button, but the silencer, volume buttons, and headset jack, etc.
