Can I use T-Mobile contract free with another operator in another country?

Can I use T-Mobile contract free with another operator in another country?

No. You need an officially unlocked iPhone. Contract free DOES NOT equal officially unlocked. All contract free means is that you are not obligated to a contract, nothing more.
In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones.

    Your understanding is a bit out of date. Verizon is a CDMA/LTE carrier. All Verizon phones that work on the 4G LTE network, which would exclude all but the most basic of phones, use SIM cards. All Verizon iPhones since the 4S have a SIM slot (though the one on the 4S was only used for global roaming).

  • Can i use Iphone 5s contract free t mobile ( USA) in india with local carrer???

    Hi , my friend is in USA and buy contract free T-mobile iphone 5s from apple store for me and i m in india
    He will send me phone by this week
    I want to know should i unlock it or directly can use with my local gsm sim .

    Make sure your friend only purchases from Apple, no where else. Only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones in the US, & the T-Mobile labeled iPhone is officially unlocked if putchased from Apple.
    But, your warranty/support will only be valid in the US, & the phone will not support LTE in India.
    Any issues, no authorized source will touch the phone in India, or help you in anyway.

  • Can i use iPhone T-mobile contract free version outside USA with any carrier?

    Hello everyone,
    I am planning to purchase the iPhone 6 via Apple online store, on or after september 19th.
    I am living in Sri Lanka and obviously we do not have AT&T or any other service providers listed, here. My only option would be to buy the T-mobile 'contract-free' version if I am not willing to wait till Apple releases an unlocked 'sim-free' version within next few months. Therefor, I want to confirm and make sure that I can use the iPhone T-Mobile version with any carrier of my choice and is not locked only for T-mobile and can be used here in Sri Lanka.
    Hoping for your kind support
    Regards,
    Nimasha

    Hey Nicolas,
    I had the same question, so I went to the Apple chat, and I asked the same, 'cause I need an iPhone to works in South America and Europe as well.
    so what the person on the chat  answered me was that the T-mobile cellphone comes Unlocked, so you can use it anywhere.
    I Guess I can get it and now.

  • IPhone 6 T-Mobile Contract free, does that mean its unlocked? And I can use it worldwide?

    HI there,
    IPhone 6 T-Mobile Contract free, does that mean its unlocked? And I can use it worldwide?
    please advise me?

    As long as you do not activate the phone with the T-Mobile sim card initially and just use the sim card you want, then the phone should remain unlocked.
    These were exactly the same questions asked when the iPhone 5s was released - if you want the phone to be unlocked then purchase the sim free T-Mobile phone, but DON'T activate it with the T-Mobile sim card.  If you do activate it with the T-Mobile sim, then the phone will be locked to T-Mobile, but if you activate it with another sim card, then it should remain unlocked.
    The problem with sim free is that it normally locks to the first sim card that you put in the phone and if you activate it with the T-Mobile sim, then it will, so don't use that, but the sim card that you want instead.
    Other than that, it normally takes about 6 months after the initial release date before Apple starts selling unlocked phones.

  • I bought an iphone6 T-Mobile Contract free from US. Can i gift it to my parents in India. Will a nano-SIM card with any Indian carrier work? Will my international warranty still be valid?

    I bought an iphone6 T-Mobile Contract free from US. Can i gift it to my parents in India.?
    Will a nano-SIM card with any Indian carrier work? They will have to just toss away the T-Mobile SIM and put in nano sim for any Indian carrier, right?
    Will my international warranty still be valid? In case of any repairs/services, can that be done in India? Will these services be charged while the phone is in warranty period?

    If the phone is purchased in the united states, warranty service will need to be provided in the united states.

    You'll have to consider the benefits; is the lack of LTE and the need to send the phone overseas (THus be without a phone for that length of time) really worth the 250$ difference you'd save?
    ME personally I'd rather fork over that amount of money and get the quality of phone I purchased, and not have it at half strength.

  • How can i change my iphone mode from t-mobile contract free to unlocked?

    i actually was cheated from the online assistant!
    I always want an unlocked iphone 5s.Last time i was consulting the online agent, he or she recommanded me to choose t-mobile contract free mode.He said as long as its a nano sim card. it will work with any service
    then i took it as he suggested. today when i was asking an online agent again that if there is any kind of iphone5s works with foreign sim card. after a while, i got that the t-mobile contract free modes only work with t-mobile service within US but you can use foreign sim card when you are abroad.
    Is that a kind of cheating to make me just purchase it in the first place?
    I am really disappointed with the apple agents wether they are not honest or not professional. I think i am going to be extremely careful next time even with those seemingly official enough company
    Now does anyone know how i can change the funny t-mobile contract free mode to unlocked??
    Thanks much!

    Well the thing is Tmobile has to be the UNLOCKED version then. I have tmobile and I bought an Iphone 5s from Apple TMOBILE. Payed the 600$ and popped in my existing sim. I had no dealings with tmobile for my phone and have no contract. I should be able to go to ATT sign up and pop it in to work. So the Tmobile version is the "unlocked" version right now and a sim is included for convience.
    If you notice the bottom of the phones it says it will only work with the carrier you choose. Which is a clever way to word it. Which leads me to believe its unlocked. I payed full price so they cant "lock" it.

  • Can I use jQuery mobile with Apache Cordova in VS2013?

    Hi, 
    I'm developing my first mobile app.  I just need to build a very simple form with a few text fields and a date picker.  I was wondering can I use jQuery Mobile for this?  I saw an example of using jQuery Mobile with Ajax to call a web service
    when user clicks Submit button and wondering if I can use that in VS  2013 Apache Cordova project.  
    Also, is there a way for user to define data for a couple of fields, like their user id and password for the app?  How can that be done so users don't have to enter credential each time they use the app.
    Thank you
    Thank you

  • T-Mobile contract-free iPhone 6 using in other countries

    I recently bought a T-Mobile contract-free iPhone 6 in the States, however I am trying to use with South Korea USIM during my trip there. Is South Korean USIM (maybe SKT or Olleh) available for this phone?

    " I am trying to use"
    Are you telling us that your attempt to use the T-Mobile iPhone 6 in Korea was unsuccessful or, are you telling us that you plan to use the iPhone 6 in Korea, and you're asking us if it will work?  If I were you - in Korea with a T-Mobile iPhone 6 - I'd by a cheap pre-paid SIM for a local Korean carrier, and see if it works.  Regardless of the outcome, you'd have your answer.
