Iphone 6 (T-Mobile) officially listed as "UNLOCKED and contract free"

For everyone asking if the T-Mobile version is factory unlocked, it is now officially official from Apple.  On the online store, the T-Mobile version is now listed as "unlocked and contract free" as opposed to simply "contract free" as before.

Yes, I ordered mine two days ago and it is in process of being shipped (order cannot be cancelled).  Due to arrive December 19 at the latest.

  • If I buy an unlocked and contract-free iPhone 4s for my T-mobile, do i need to cut my sim.

    If I buy an unlocked and contract-free iPhone 4s for my T-mobile sim, do i need to cut my sim.

    Beyond what had been said about unlocked phones and limitations of iPhones on the T-Mobile network, T-Mobile appears to sell microSIMs:

    I am not a T-Mobile customer so best to call them and ask.

  • I'm interested in iPhone 5s Unlocked and contract-free T-Mobile. It will work in Russia, with Russian nano-SIM card GSM?

    I'm interested in iPhone 5s Unlocked and contract-free T-Mobile. It will work in Russia, with Russian nano-SIM card GSM?

    Depends on what you mean by "fully operational". As i"ve stated, the phone most likely will not support LTE where you live, & unless you're using a supported iPhone carrier, you'll have to fiddle with the APN settings.
    But, an unlocked GSM iPhone will work with any GSM carrier.

  • Will the iphone 6 plus work in pakistan if i buy the unlocked and contract free version from the apple store?

    will the iphone 6 plus work in pakistan if i buy the unlocked and contract free version from the apple store? why is t mobile written on top of the button? it is so confusing no one will give me a straight answer on this. if i buy that one, would there be any monthly charges involved or not?

    Are you planning on flying to and visiting the US?  That is the only way you are going to get an iPhone from the Apple store because you will not be able to purchase one from the Apple store online and get it sent to Pakistan - it can't be done and Apple online stores will not ship internationally.
    You have not got a straight answer to this question because there is none.  The phone has T-Mobile on the top button, because it is a T-Mobile phone and although sold as contract free, but NOT unlocked - notice the difference, it still comes with a T-Mobile sim card.
    The phone may or may not work in Paskistan and if you do buy the phone, to ensure that it has the best possible chance of working is to take the T-Mobile sim card out of the phone first and DO NOT activate the phone using the T-Mobile sim.  If you want to use it in Pakistan, then activate it with your local Pakistan sim card and you will not be paying any charges to T-Mobile if you do this.  If you do happen to accidentally activate the phone with the T-Mobile sim card in it, then you will have a contract with them and yes, you will have a monthly bill with T-Mobile and you will need to keep this contract for 40 days, until you can get the phone unlocked by them.
    Also note, that if you buy the phone it may not work on 4G networks in Pakistan due to frequency differences and also you will have no warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan - iPhone warranty is NOT international, so country of original purchase, so the US, which means you have to fly back there - no postage accepted.
    So basically, the phone should work in Pakistan, but not on the 4G networks and you need to take the T-Mobile sim card out before you activate it and activate it using a local sim card and you will have NO warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan.

  • If I buy an iPhone 4S (the unlocked and contract-free version), do I need to add a microSIM card if I just want to use it as an iPod Touch?

    If I buy an iPhone 4S (the unlocked and contract-free version), do I need to add a microSIM card if I just want to use it as, essentially, an iPod Touch? I'll probably get a microSIM card eventually, but I just need the wi-fi based technology now. Anyone know?

    It will not do anything (other than call 911) until you activate it with a microSIM. Look into an iPod Touch instead.

  • When will the unlocked and contract free iPhone 5 be available, and what is the price going to be

    Im From Georgia(Republic of), and im wondering when will the unlocked and contract free version on the new iPhone 5 be available, and is the price going to be the same as iPhone 4S's($650)? IF it will be available for pre-ordering i want to buy one.

    Assuming you are referring to the US, no one knows for sure but probably 4 to 6 weeks after the release of the iPhone 5 for the same price as the 4s.

    The factory unlocked iPhone 5 is not yet available for sale.  Historically speaking factory unlocked iPhones become available about a month after the initial release.

  • What is the difference between unlocked and contract free

    hello
    i want to know what is the difference between unlocked iphone and contract free iphon?

    Unlocked means that you can use any sim card in the phone all the time and keep swapping and the phone will still work.  You will pay full price for the phone.
    Contract actually means that you will buy the phone for the full price, but the phone will then become locked to the first carrier whos sim card you insert into the phone and if you want to use another sim card, you'll need to get the phone unlocked from that carrier.
    If you want an unlocked phone, then buy an unlocked phone and not a contract free phone - if you pay full price for the phone it's a no brainer to buy anything less.

  • Apple website now offering "unlocked and contract free" iphone 6

    Is this really factory unlocked or just an editorial change on website?

    If you want your phone to work in a particular country, buy it in that country.  Apple phones are designed to work in certain countries.  They may work in other countries, but with reduced functionality.  Also, your warranty and service are available ONLY in the country where the phone was originally purchased (with the EU considered one country).

  • Is there a difference between T-Mobile unlocked and SIM free

    I ordered 2 iPhone 5s handsets a couple of weeks ago to use them outside the US, they are unlocked and contracts free a few days ago Apple announced the availability of SIM free phones.
    Will they work with any GSM carrier, pr do I have to return them and order SIM free ones?

    Sim free just means they have no sim card inside.
    They are the exact same phone as before. The ones you ordered will come with a T-Mobile sim card , but you can just take it out and place one from your chosen carrier inside instead.

  • Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?

    Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?

    I think in the context you're using, they are pretty much the same thing. The only carrier on the planet as of this writing with the CDMA iPhone, which does not use SIM cards AT ALL, is Verizon in the U.S.
    There is a difference between an unlocked iPhone and an iPhone sold without a contract, but still locked to a carrier.
    This list details all of the currently supported iPhone carriers. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
    Some carriers sell phones that are NOT carrier locked (i.e. SIM FREE). Some sell locked phones, but offer unlocking services for their subscribers. In SOME countries, unlocked phones can be purchased directly from Apple. Apple also sells locked phones, that do not require a term commitment with the carrier at what is usually the same price as an unlocked phone.

  • T-mobile Iphone is LOCKED and Contract Free.

    I am looking at buying an iphone online from apple for my wife but there is a lot of confusion on the Communities as to whether the Iphone with a Tmobile SIM is unlocked or not.  I spoke with Customer service and they informed me that the Iphone with a T-mobile SIM is "unlocked in that it is contract free"  I asked her point blank if the Tmobile Iphone could be used with a SIM card from another carrier and she said it could not.  She did tell me that I could use the unlocked Iphone on Tmobiles network I would just have to purchase a T-mobile SIM to use with it.  This means that the Iphone which ships with a T-mobile SIM is Contract Free and LOCKED to T-mobile.  I would recommend that Apple change the wording on their website and sell the T-mobile Iphone for what it really is: Locked and Contract free.  A truly unlocked phone is not tied to one network.

    I just got my wife a 5s, unlocked, with a T-Mobile SIM from Apple.  When it arrived, I activated it on T-Mobile ($50/month plan, no contract) and it worked fine.  Yesterday I went to the AT&T store and got a free AT&T SIM, removed the T-Mobile SIM, and activated it on AT&T ($60/month plan)(month-to-month, no contract).  I want to compare coverage and reception.  It works fine on AT&T, so I can tell you for 100% certain that the iPhone I bought was not locked on T-Mobile.  I have no reason to believe that when I put the T-Mobile SIM back in that it won't work just fine on T-Mobile.
    I did a lot of research before buying and without exception, everyone told me that if I got it from Apple, unlocked, with a T-Mobile SIM, that it would work fine with other carriers.  It does!

    I'm currently a Boost Mobile customer and planing to get a unlocked and sim free iPhone 6 (model:A1586). If I buy AT&T prepaid nano sim card, will this work? How do I activate the sim card with keeping my current phone number?

    It should work, You are going to have to contact AT&T and have the number ported to your AT&T gophone account.
