Purchasing an iPhone at the no-contract price or the full retail price does not automatically equate to the iPhone being unlocked.
You purchased this iPhone where?
As Allan said, purchasing without contract does not mean the iPhone 4S is unlocked (which is what you need for using it with any GSM carrier which I assume is what the OP wants). If you want to use the iPhone 4S with anyone besides AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint, you have to purchase it unlocked. And to be clear, purchasing it without contract from any of the 3 carriers mentioned, still means it is locked to that carrier and cannot be used with any of the other ones, period.
You should confirm with whoever you purchased the iPhone 4S from whether it is unlocked, but I bet it is locked to a carrier and you need to return it ASAP! Then wait for the unlocked iPhone 4Ss to come out and purchase straight from Apple, with the clear understanding that it is unlocked.

Contact the carrier and troubleshoot the account.

It will be locked to mobily telecom, and according to Apple's list of supported carriers and their features (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937) they do not offer unlocking. Since only the carrier it is locked to can unlock it, you have bought a useless phone.

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:

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.

You'll have to order directly through ATT
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 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...

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.

My IPOD is already synced to iTunes. My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes. Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes?

My IPOD is already synced to iTunes. My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes. Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes? Also, how does he install ONLY that app on his iPhone without syncing my music also? I haven't done this before with just an app. Thanks.

Since you and your friend aren't married or in the same household (I assume you wouldn't have referred to this person as "my friend" otherwise), what you want to do is not permitted by the terms of use of the iTunes Store.
Your friend should create his own Apple ID. He can use your computer; just have him log into your computer with a user account you create just for him, not your own user account. Doing it that way is almost like having your friend use a different computer, since both Mac OS X and recent versions of Windows do a pretty good job of segregating the data of multiple user accounts.
He can then purchase the app using iTunes and sync it to his iPhone. When he's done, he should log out of your computer.
However, be aware that there is no reason to purchase an app using iTunes on a computer and to then sync it to the iPhone. Your friend can use the App Store app that's installed on the iPhone by default in order to download and install any app he likes from the iTunes App Store.

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.

How can i purchase iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch 2G ?

My Local iTune Store (Thailand) don't have iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch.
How can i purchase iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch 2G ?

What they have written to you is wrong.
That download was available at all the online stores: if you looked at the main page of the Thai app store at the time it was released (and for a couple of weeks after) it clearly displayed a 3.0 update advertisement. I was able to update a 3G iPhone and a first generation iPod touch using my account on the Thai app store.
Are you accessing the iTunes store, using iTunes (or the Thai online store at http://store.apple.com/th)? It is the one using iTunes that you need.
What you need to do to download this, is to connect your iPod touch to the computer (your details do not say which computer or OS you use) and in the iTunes panel that opens, there is a button to check for updates (although the update may appear by itself). If this still reports that it is unavilable, let me know and I will ask someone.
You will not be able to change your account, but there is nothing to prevent you setting up a new account in the US as long as (for purchasing) you use a US credit card.
