Buying an iPhone with a contract

I'm a resident of a foreign country, but I have a local student ID and a social security number. Would these two documents be enough to buy an iPhone with a contract?

You would probably find out the answer buy calling those carriers.

If i buy an iphone 6 without contract from the US, would it work in other countries with non-US carriers?

Contract free versus SIM free are different. What you want to do is to wait for Apple to sell the SIM free version of the iPhone 6. See this explanation from the Apple 5S page that details this...
If you buy iPhone for T-Mobile, it will arrive with a nano-SIM card already installed that you can activate by visiting an Apple Retail Store or a T-Mobile store or by calling T-Mobile. If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible nano-SIM card separately. In the United States, you can purchase such a SIM from AT&T or T-Mobile. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5s from a local GSM carrier.
Also be aware warranty service is country specific. So if you buy a phone in the US and it develops problems you would need to return it for service in the US...

If I buy a iphone 6 on contract from an Apple store will it be locked

If I buy a iphone 6 on contract from a Apple store will it be locked?

to lock with the first sim one put in makes not sense
unlocked phones cost the true price of the phone
the reason why locked phones cost more is because the carrier they are locked to pay the difference and expect to make their profit by the users usage
to lock automatic to the first sim one put in would mean that carrier would not had paid the difference so apple would not get anything out of it
and the user would not get anything out of it, the only who would, would be that random carrier sounds like a lotto system for sim locks

If i buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple appstore?

1. If I buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple app store?
2. Searching craigslist, it looks like iphones with a bad esn are cheaper than buying an ipod. If it's the same functionality, then is there a downside to getting an iphone with a bad esn instead of an ipod touch?
Thanks

Actually, you can in fact restore it or re-activate it using iTunes. A bad ESN just means it can't ne activated for phone service, but it can still be used as a touch. Phones with bad ESN's are not necessarily stolen, if the owner/account holder fails to pay their bill, the carrier will list with a bad ESN.

If I buy a sprint iphone 4 with a contract, and I want to sell it to a phone store, will I be billed in the future??

Your contract with Sprint has a termination clause. Read it. If you terminate the contract early, you will have to pay to do so.

Can you buy the iphone with the at&t contract than cancel the contract?

Does anyone know or has anyone tried getting the iphone with AT&T and then canceling the contract? What is ATT charging for iphone if I do this and then cancel my contract? Seems like this is the only way to buy the phone outright without going through e-bay.

AT&T does sell the iPhone without a contract however it is still carrier locked.
3G 8GB - $499
3GS 16GB - $599
3GS 32GB - $699
Also if they have a 3G 16GB still in stock then its $549.
This is all according to AT&T's iPhone FAQ:

Should i buy the iphone with an At&t contract

Hey guys, I just wanted to know if I should sign an At&t contract when i buy an iPhone from a local apple store. can I buy it without signing one? and if I got it from apple online store, should I also sign an At&t contract.
Please tell me the best way to get an iPhone without signing an At&t contract.
thnx guys

You can get around not signing a contract with at&t however if you do so then you will not be able to use visual voice mail "big loss". however if you do unlock iphone using a hack off of the Internet it voids your warranty and i think it might be illegal in some states but don't know cus i from the UK. However without signing with at&t there is no warranty and if your iphone breaks as quite a few have, e.g. the screen no longer responding or whatever you will have to shell out all that $399 again so it is your choice but personally i would just sign the contract.
Hope this helps.

Buying a new iphone with a contract and using current 3g sim card for it.

I have the iphone 3g and recently my screen got cracked. Is it possible to just buy another iphone from a Apple store and put my sim card into the new phone?
I'm not too sure if they allow you to just buy the phone without the whole contract thingie.

You cannot simply buy another iPhone 3G and put the original SIM card into it - the SIM card is 'married' to the IMEI of the iPhone when it's activated, so the old one won't work in the new phone. However, you can buy another iPhone 3G - but, you (or your friend) will need to pay the unsubsidized price, which is $399/$499 for the 8/16 GB iPhone 3G.
Alternatively, the iPhone Out-of-Warranty Service cost is $199/$299. Out-of-Warranty Service applies to iPhones that are damaged, but not catastrophically damaged (i.e. if your screen is cracked, that's fine, but if your phone is in pieces or it it's been submerged in liquid, that's not repairable and you'll need to pay the unsubsidized cost of a new phone as above). If your concern is about being without a phone, for $29 you can use the Advance Replacement Service, where Apple sends you a replacement iPhone and then you send the damaged iPhone back.

Purchase an iphone with a contract at the apple store?

I Have a $500 apple store gift card that im itching to use, but im not entirely sure if im able to purchase an iphone 6 with a contract with the gift card. Does anyone know if it is possible to do that in canada specifically?

You can get a contract from a physical Apple Store: https://www.apple.com/ca/retail/iphone/
We offer plans with the same rates available directly from the carriers. We’ll take the time to understand your needs. And we won’t recommend one carrier over another or push you to buy more minutes than you need."
If you order online: http://store.apple.com/ca_consumer_340760/iphone you will need to get a contract "by yourself", by contacting your carrier after purchasing the iPhone.

New Iphone with existing Contract...?

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post so please forgive me if i posted it in the wrong section. I have the original iphone (2G) which i purchased over two years ago at an apple store in NY. I opened a two year contract online at the time with AT&T. However, my contract expired in February 2010, and I am currently on a month to month with AT&T. Currently i am paying $20.00 for unlimited data. My question is if i purchase the new Iphone 4G will i be forced into opening a new two year contract with their new data plan charges or can i just activate the phone and continue with AT&T on a month to month basis? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

AT&T sells the 3G and 3GS at the full retail sales price or at the no-commitment or no-contract price, which is the most expensive price. The iPhone can be activated on a post-paid month to month basis, but the data plan is required which costs $30/mo and does not include a 200 messaging allowance. The uimited data plan for the original iPhone which includes a 200 messaging allowance (SMS only) and costs $20/mo is a special unlimited data plan rate for the original iPhone only - not offered by AT&T for any other phone in the smart phone category.
AT&T may sell the next generation iPhone or 4th generation iPhone (which probably won't be a 4G network compatible phone) at the full retail sales price which won't require a 2 year contract if you are able and willing to pay the full retail sales price, but the data plan probably won't be optional.
If you buy the iPhone at AT&T's subsidized or discounted price, a two year contract will be required.

I would like to buy and iPhone without a contract.

I want to buy an iPhone for my wife, who wants and deserves one. To keep phone bills low, I would like to use it with a google phone number, and power it only with a wifi hotspot. Can just buy and iphone and use just the wifi, or is there some kind of block requiring me to use a cell provider?

You want an mobile hotspot, right?
The best way is:
Search for a iphone like on ebay, google or other websites, but remember it must already be unlocked (Available from factory is the best, because then it's unlocked by an user he made a jailbreak on the device and that's not good for updates).
After that, you have to search for a mobile hotspot data plan and a good Wlan-Router.
Then you have got everything, give the router a very good password, there are many wlan hacker and they wait for a easy useable wlan network!
(You can insert the data Sim card, then you activate the iphone for your wife )

Can i buy the iPhone with international sim card, can i buy the iPhone with international sim card

International sim card

I don't know about an international sim card. You can buy the iPhones unlocked in selected countries as they are legally required to sell them unlocked. Such as here in New Zealand. The unlocked iPhones can be used with any carriers micro sim cards.

Buying an iPhone with a Telephone company plan outside United States.

I would like to know if there is any control of prices outside of US by Apple. I went to buy an Iphone in Venezuela with
a telephone service plan, and I thought that it was like in the US, where one can pay a low price for the phone, and
have a selected plan with a telehone company. I was in schock to find out that in the APPLE store to buy the Iphone was very
expensive, and they told me to get it at the local Telephone company that provides service for Iphones. I went to iy thinking I can get it at a lower
price with the service from the Telephone company. I found out that the LOW PRICE her for the Iphone, 16GB, was $1,200. I almost fainted to hear
this! How can a company abuse the consumers this way? Is there any International Consumer Support? How can an IPhone cost so much
in a country where salaries do not compare like salaries in the US? Who can buy such a phone at such a price? The irony of it is that
it is cheaper than in the actual APPLE STORE. Is there any way that this can be controlled?

Apple is not abusing you in any manner. Outside of the US, the cost of iPhones are not subsidized, and you'll pay full retail price. In Bangkok, all iPhones are unlocked, and the best one costs the equivalent of over $1000US. However, all of the carrier-offered plans cost only 1/3rd of the plans in the US. In the long run, it's cheaper to purchase and use an iPhone outside of the US.

5s buy a locked iphone with icloud not know, cheated me as I can help?

Sounds like you have encountered Activation Lock. Without the Apple ID and password of the original owner, you will not be able to activate the phone. I suggest returning the phone for a refund.
