I want clarification on unlocked 5s

So my dad is planning to get some iPhones for our family. I suggested to choose the T-mobile contract-free version so we don't have to worry about monthly fees and such (if that is how that works).
So if we go with contract-free, I can basically:
watch however much 1080p videos I want on YouTube.
call however much I want (I probably wont)
have unlimited data input
; all for one price that we pay when getting the phone (or split up 12 to 18 months), correct?
I'm wondering how the phone will work internationally, however. I live in US of A and go to Japan once in a while. Will the unlocked phone work in that country, as in, can I use the phone network?

Hi minfremi,
The T-Mobile "contract free" plan does not provide you with free data - it allows you to use other sim cards with the phone. Here is a link to the T-Mobile website where you can get more information:

  • Want to factory unlock my iphone 4g

    i want to factory unlock my iphone 4g 32gb.. i bought it from america, now am in london permantly.. my imei number is 01241800739426.please help me out.thank you

    Contact the carrier it is locked to. Assuming it is locked to AT&T, and you are/were actually an AT&T customer who either fulfilled your contract or paid the early termination fee (or purchase a no commitment phone), then you can have it unlocked.
    If you are/were not an AT&T customer, they will not unlock it. The phone is useless to you. Sell it and buy one in the UK.
    If it is a Verizon or Sprint phone, just sell it. You can't use it at all. Those are CDMA phones and will not work on a GSM network.

    i want to sim unlock my iphone 4 with iOS5, how can i do it ?

    If the carrier can't or won't unlock the phone there is no other authorized way to unlock it. Call the carrier on the phone. Then you have to get a response, even if it is "no".

  • HT201328 I want to temporarily unlock my iPhone for use in Spain. How do I find a compatible SIM from supported carrier?

    I want to temporarily unlock my iPhone for use in Spain. How do I find a compatible SIM from supported carrier?

    No such status
    AT&T will either unlock your iPhone or not
    there is ......
    A carrier locked iPhone
    A non carrier locked iPhone (known as unlocked) ,nothing in between
    Until AT&T agree to unlock your iPhone you can ONLY use your existing sim

  • I want to factory unlock my iphone 4  , locked on soft bank japan .

    Hey I am a student from saudia Arabia, i bought iphone 4 an year ago from some unkonwn person as he is selling it at low price but i was working without sim card but when i took it to a repair shop a man there updated it and from then its not even starting fully , i came to know its want a factory unlock.
    it is locked on " soft bank japan "

    Look, you have already been told that you cannot unlock the phone and to go and buy a new one.
    How many more times do you need this spelt out for you?
    There is nothing you can do, so stop asking the same question that will receive the same answer.
    Also, I don't know who you think you are addressing as 'bro', but we are not, so stop!

  • HT201269 I want to factory unlock my iphone 5s sprint/virgin phone? How can I do?

    I want to factory unlock my iphone 5s sprint/virgin phone? How can I do?

    There is no such thing as a Sprint/Virgin phone. It's either a Sprint phone, or a Virgin phone.
    If it's a Sprint phone, and you are a Sprint customer in good standing, then contact Sprint. They can unlock it for use on non US carriers.
    If it is not a Sprint phone or you do not meet Sprint's conditions for unlocking, or your intent is to use it on a different US carrier, you may as well sell it. Virgin in the US does not offer unlocking.

    Only the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize the unlock. You will need to contact Vodafone to see if you qualify for an unlock.

  • Want to Factory Unlock Iphone.

    Hey
    I have Iphone 4. IOS 5.1 Baseband 4.12.01.
    It's Locked from Carrier Telia from Sweden.
    I want to Factory Unlock.
    is it possible ?
    Anyone can help me on this ??

    Only the carrier can start the unlock process. You'll need to contact them and give them the details of your phone. If unlocking is supported, they will pass the info to Apple, and after a certain time iTunes will inform you, that your device has been unlocked.

    Buy from a legitimate source. Get it directly from a supported carrier. NOT from a shop on the corner.

  • I want to buy unlocked iphone 5 with cargo

    Hello,
    I want to buy unlocked iphone 5 with cargo to Turkey, I can pay the cost of the phone with the bank transfer.

    Apple is not reading these forums.
    Go to online store, or visit a local Apple store or authorised Apple reseller.
    Unlock operation can be done later.

  • My phone keeps resetting and then shows the icon to plug into itunes but when i do itunes tells me that it can't connect to my phone because it has a passcode and wants me to unlock it to connect. My phone only gives me the option to make emergency calls.

    My phone started resetting today over and over and then shows the icon to plug into itunes. When I tried plugging in, a message pops up saying that itunes can't connect because my phone has a passcode and i need to unlock it to connect. my phone won't let me do anything more than make an emergency call. it wont give me the option to enter my passcode to unlock the phone. What can I do?

    After a visit to the apple store, they were able to get through my pass code but unfortunately I found out that is was a problem with the logic board. Since Apple only wants to sell and not fix, I was able to locate an iphone repair near me that deals with logic boards and they are currently working on it right now. i should be getting it back soon. Im not sure if the problem you are experiencing is the same as i went through but it does sound like it may be also a hardware issue and would suggest searching online for an iphone repair place that can diagnose what exactly is wrong. Hope this helps.

  • I want to buy unlock and activation from Apple officially, is it real?

    As for me, I live in Russia, and want to buy this excellent device and use it in my home cellular network. As I know, some of the European operators may unlock your contract cellphone, if you pay them a termination fee. And what about Apple? Look, iPhone itself costs $400 now, plus $175 fee for AT&T (activation code), plus $500-600 for Apple (I think, it's honest price for unlock), and what we have? $1200 or so, it's a good overall price for this perfect phone (even w/out copy&paste, 3rd party apps, etc.) I'm really ready for this payment, and not only me. But it must be honest deal, as I don't want to have an iBrick with the next software update, as it happens with hacked and unlocked phones. So why not? I don't want to go by the crime way (unlock), and I want to have an iPhone in Russia with its full functionality, to call with my home SIM card, and no hacks, no mods, no tricks with hardware. So, is it real?
    Excuse me for my English.
    Eugene.

    Apple does not offer, nor support iPhones on networks other than AT&T (US) O2 (England) and Orange (France). There is no way to get a phone for any other network from Apple.
    To get a phone to work on your network, you must get a 3rd party unlocked phone which will have no support and can currently not be upgraded fully.

  • I am from Nepal and want to buy unlocked sim free iphone 5s from USA. So will it work in Nepal?

    I want to buy sim free iphone 5s from USA. So can I be able to use it here in Nepal with either of NCELL or NTC network?

    Any unlocked iPhone should work as a GSM phone anywhere in the world. However, iPhones have additional features that will not work on networks that are not partners with Apple. The features that may not work  include:
    iTunes store and App Store
    Visual Voicemail (almost certainly will not work)
    LTE networks
    3G networks
    iMessage
    FaceTime
    MMS
    GameCenter
    Your Apple warranty will not be honored outside of the country of purchase. You may or may not be able to get services to fix it for a fee; I don't know if independent repair shops in Nepal can handle the iPhone. I do know that they cannot get official Apple replacement parts, so any parts that are needed will be gray market.
    You might be be better off getting a phone in India; at least getting repairs and warranty service won't require traveling back to the US.
