Droid 3 without contract

Hey,
I'm visiting the USA in a few weeks and thinking about buying the droid 3 and take it with me to Europa.
My question is, can I go in a Verizon store, pay 460$ and get the phone without any kind of contract?
If not, where could I buy it this way?
I know about the Sim lock, I just want to know if i can buy it.
Thanks for any answer.
Regards 

Thanks a lot.
What means flexibility  on their pricing? Do they go for 500 instead of 459 or can there be a higher difference?
Anybody saw the prices in a store already? Would be nice to know.

  • Droid pro without contract

    hello verizon community,
    im currently located in germany, and i really want to get my handy onto a droid pro.
    since it is only distributed over verizon i was wondering if buying it for the ~480$ and making a month to month plan, which i could cancel after one month (?) keeping the device and sending it to germany would be possible? i mean is it locked to verizon or are there any other obstacles?
    would be great to find out, i really love the phone and it seems like another few month before it hits germany!... ;(
    thanks for your answers already

    The OP just needs to get the SIM lock (subsidy/network code)  undone, which cannot brick the phone.  Of course, you can use it with the VZ SIM, but that will be very expensive for German use.

    VZ will unlock the phone for contract customers who have been with them long enough (1 per year), but that wouldn't work for you probably.   However, lots of places will unlock Motorola phones, and I don't think the fact it is a new model really matters (it's keyed of the IMEI, doesn't really matter which phone it is!)

    That said, is this such a great phone if you just use it  in GSM mode?  I thought at that price you can do better and get some of the fancy phones that we would like over here!

    Dear sir
    I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
    Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
    And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
    Please tell me whats the matter?
    My phone serial no  86034HTCA4T
    Modem firmware  04.12.09
    Thanks

    Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
    the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
    contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
    used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
    iPhone unuseable.

  • How can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?

    how can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?  my screen is cracked and i am waiting on a replacement phone.  as far as i can tell in order to access the phone storage through my computer, i have to use the touchscreen to enable it so that the computer will see it as a camera.  I can't do that as the top half of the touschscreen is unresponsive.  any suggestions?  teaches me to use the backup services offered in the future, but i still need a short term solution for this time.

        I'm sorry to hear your screen is cracked spence425. I know its difficult to use the phone while its damaged. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement device. Have you saved any of your pictures and other data to the cloud? Here is a link about the cloud http://vz.to/1mF0GIx . Unfortunately, you will be unable to remove any data from the phone if the screen is unresponsive but if you are looking to transfer data to your new phone, it would have needed to be saved via the cloud first. Keep us posted.

  • I PURCHASED A IPHONE 4 IN SAN FRANCISCO FROM BEST BUY FOR USD 650 WITHOUT CONTRACT. I WANT TO UNLOCK THE PHONE TO USE IN INDIA AS IT IS LOCKED AT THE MOMENT

    i purchased a iphone 4 in san francisco from a best buy for 649.99 usd without contract. the phone is however locked and i want it to be unlocked by apple officially. please help

    Apple does not unlock iPhones, only the carrier that it is locked to can do that. Contact them. If you were sold a phone that was supposed to be unlocked when you purchased it (which is what it sounds like) you should contact Best Buy.
    Best of luck.

  • Do I need to activate the Iphone 4 if I buy it without contract?

    Hey Guys, Do I really need to activate the Iphone 4 when I buy it without contract at the apple retail store? Thanks.

    If you are in the US, you cannot purchase an iphone directly from Apple without an AT&T contract. If you want to purchase a no commitment/no contract iphone, you will have to purchase such directly from AT&T. However, the phone will have to be activated on AT&T's network before you can do anything with it. AT&T will require that you establish a post paid account at a minimum.

  • Need guidance for iphone4s without contract

    hello am planning to buy iphone 4s from apple store without contract. I just want to know whether it will perfectly work in india with all the Local GSM Carrier, or if there is any apple restricted carrier for india can you please help me out

    without contract and unlocked are 2 different phones. Be sure to get an unlocked one. Test your sim from India before you leave the store.
    Also note that the warranty is not international. If you buy that phone you will need to ship it to someone you know in that country to be taken in for service. All shipping will be at your expense.
    You are best to buy one in India where they are unlocked and have local warranty support. Have a look at this user who bought one outside of India and is trying to get service: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4049298?tstart=0
    Good Luck.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • I wanna buy at apple online store an iphone 6 without contract; can i use it in Mexico? must i go to T-Mobile? or is unlocked so i can use it free?

    I wanna buy an iphone 6 at apple online store without contract, with T-Mobile; can i use iphone 6 in Mexico?
    must i go to T-Mobile? is iphone 6 unlocked?
    Thanks

    Thanks Ralph, my purchase would be at apple onlines store, but my shipping address is in Houston; so i have no problem wiyh that.
    But i will use it in Mexico, so i have doubt, becuase many people says you can used, because is unlocked; but others says you can not,
    I was at apple store here in Mexico but does not know when arrived unlocked iphone 6 to Mexico, and if I purchase without contract online
    with T-Mobile is free to use.
    I think better is to wait until the unlocked model is available for Mexico.
    Thanks Ralph you helped me!

  • 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:
