Buying iphone 4 without contract

I'm currently running t mobile, I was wondering if you have to be a current att member to be able to buy the I-phone without contract or is the no contract deal available to everybody regardless of their current carrier.
thanks, Andrew

What does "early upgrade fee" mean?
Is there a time limit/deadline to upgrade?
(My 2-year contract doesn't expire until July 2011.)
And creepers on the $499 price for 32g. In July '09 my new, first-time-ever iPhone 3Gs, 32g, was $399. So did apple add $100 for the G4-32g because it's an "improved" G4, or is it simply inflation?
Even though it ouches, I will definitely have to get one... eventually.

How can i buy iPhone 6 without contract?

how can i buy iPhone 6 without contract?

No, it is contract-free (meaning no 2-year contract that you are locked into), but it is not unlocked. Here is what the Apple iPhone 6 site says about the T-Mobile contract-free device:
If you have selected an iPhone for T-Mobile, it will come with the appropriate nano-SIM, but you will need to contact T-Mobile or visit an Apple Retail Store to activate your iPhone.
In order to activate it, you have to select a T-Mobile plan and pay for it (it is monthly). Once the device has been activated, you can use other compatible SIMs with it.
When the unlocked phone is released at a later date, this is what the site says about it:
If you have selected an unlocked GSM phone, you can insert your own nano-SIM card or obtain one from the supported GSM carrier of your choice and activate it in order to use your iPhone.
So, the T-Mobile is not unlocked. It is contract-free, and you will be paying for at least one month's worth of service from T-Mobile.
Cheers,

Can i buy iphone 4 without contract in order to use in Brazil?

can i buy iphone 4 without contract in order to use in Brazil?

Probably, but it will depend on what country you expect to purchase in. In addition to not having a contract, you also will need to ensure that the iPhone you purchase is not locked to a particular carrier (sometimes referred to as "sim free"). Unlocked iPhones are sold only in a few countries, so make sure you can get one in the country you intend to visit before you purchase, and buy only from an authorized reseller or you stand a significant chance of getting an iPhone that's been hacked, not officially unlocked.
Note as well that if your iPhone, purchased in another country, ever needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to a friend or relative in the country of purchase. You would not be able to get service or support in Brazil.
It's a lot less risk and hassle if you just buy your iPhone from one of the authorized Brazilian carriers. Claro, VIVO and TIM all apparently offer unlocking, though you would have to find out their terms for doing so, and iPhones from Oi apparently are not locked at all, though you will need to confirm.

A contract-free phone is not the same thing as an unlocked phone.
If you purchase it through a carrier, it will very likely be locked to that carrier.
In the US, Apple stores, and only Apple stores, sell unlocked phones. The same may hold true in Canada.
Also keep in mind that warranty service will only be available in the country where you purchased the phone (Canada) and you will have to either send it to a friend/family member to get it repaired or make the trip yourself. Apple will not accept a shipment from outside the country of purchase.
Finally, while an iPhone from one country will generally work anywhere in the world, you may find that you do not get 4G speeds/full compatibility with a network outside of the country of purchase.

If I buy iphone 5 without contract, then can it use in another country?

My father wants to buy iphone 5, and he want to bring it back to Thailand. Pls. Answer me as fast as you.

There are no unlocked iPhone 5's for sale in the USA at the moment. So buying one "without contract" will not let it work outside of the US. You would need to buy an unlocked iPhone 5 without contract for it to work elsewhere.
Also, the US uses different bands for LTE, so the 4G connectivity is unlikely to work outside the US:

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...

How to order iphone 4 without contract on applestore website?
When I choose iphone 4 16G Black, and applestore website ask me if I am AT&T wireless customer..I am not.
How can I continue?

I assume he wants one not locked to AT&T, not only no contract. Any iPhone AT&T sells will be locked to AT&T.
BUT .. you can buy unlocked iPhone 4 from Apple Canada:
"Your new iPhone. Direct from Apple and ready to use.
When you purchase your iPhone from the Apple Online Store, you’ll get it commitment-free. So you can sign up for service with the carrier of your choice and change your carrier at any time. Questions? Call our iPhone experts at 1-800-MY-APPLE."
but I think this is only on line and likely must be shipped to a Canadian address.

If i will buy iphone 6 without preference to operator in USA, will it work in Russia?

There currently are no unlocked versions of the iPhone 6 being sold in the US.
Unlocked versions are available in other nations.
Remember that the warranty on an iPhone purchased in the US is valid only in
the US and 4G/LTE probably will not work in your location.
Wait until the iPhone 6 becomes available where you are to avoid these and other
problems.

When you tried to contact Support with the card's images how were you trying to do it, on your phone or a browser on your computer ? And have you tried a different browser to see if you get the same error message ?
As well as images of the card they might also want an image of its receipt.
And to contact Support you were using : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ , and clicked on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes ?
