May I buy iphone 5S with T-mobile contract free if I don't have american citizenship?

Warranty will not be valid outside of US, nor will 4G/LTE work outside
of North America. Buy the iPhone in the country where you intend to use
it to avoid these and other problems.

iPhones purchased from the online Apple Store in Australia will be unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, unlocked iPhone are not available from the physical Apple Stores at this time, though you can call the Apple Store in Melbourne and inquire.
Note that the warranty on iPhones is not international, so if you purchase an iPhone in Australia and it needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to someone in Australia to take or send to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.

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.

Is Iphone 6 GSM T-Mobile (contract free) will work in Egypt ?

I want to buy IPhone 6 or 6 plus not sure yet, is GSM T-Mobile (contract free) will work in Egypt ?

It will work as unlocked as long as you buy it from the Apple Store. You will not have warranty or out of warranty service in Egypt, even if you are willing to pay for it. So should the phone develop a problem, you will have to take the phone to the US for service. LTE/4G is not guaranteed to work.
So, my advice is for you to buy the phone in Egypt. You will save yourself from future headaches.

Can anyone confirm if the iPhone 6 plus T-mobile contract free will work in Asia (Philippines and Singapore)

I bought this iPhone last November, model is A1252. During that time, apple said it's contract free and I used T-mobile because Im in the US.
But last January, Apple released the unlocked version A1254 if Im not mistaken.
Question is: Will my iPhone 6 plus tmobile (A1252) work in Southeast Asia and Europe? Particularly Philipppines, Singapore, and France

Apple has not yet released an unlocked iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. Whether or not you can make a T-Mobile phone work for you, just pay your money and take your chances...some say it will, some say it won't. As for me, I'm just being patient and waiting for Apple to release the unlocked version, which they will, sooner or later. Chill...

Help with buying contract-free iPhone 5S with T-MOBILE $30.00 prepaid plan

Ok, I just want to clarfiy
If I purchase a T-MOBILE contract-free iPhone 5S from Apple here http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5s
will I be able to get the T-MOBILE plan listed here with the Nano sim I receive from my iPHONE 5S from Apple http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans
"$30 per month—Unlimited web and text with 100 minutes talk
100 minutes talk | Unlimited text | First 5 GB at up to 4G speeds
This plan is only available for devices purchased from
Wal-Mart or devices activated on T-Mobile.com"
or will I have to get a nano sim here http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/sim-card#close-cart
and then activate online on tmobile.com to get the prepaid plan for $30.00?

No, the SIM card included with the T-Mobile phone on the Apple site does not allow you to activate for the $30 prepaid, as there is no "activation code" provided with the phone and you need a code for prepaid activation on the T-Mobile site. As you know T-Mobile store will not help you with this plan.
I just did this. (1) I went on Apple store site and purchased an iPhone 5c selecting the T-Mobile "unlocked and contract-free SIM-Free" option.
(2) You also need to go on T-Mobile and buy the (so called) "activation kit" http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/sim-card ; select the "Nano Sim Card" "Phone" then "Add to cart". This is currently free, so I got 2, in case. It took about 3 business days to receive the package via UPS.
The package has instructions, but does not mention the $30 option (it is not widely advertised in T-Mobile as you know). However, no problem, it will become available during activation.
(3) Now replace the SIM card that you received from Apple with the SIM card you received from T-Mobile.
(4) Before you start the activation process, write down clearly (and double check) the "activation code" found in the T-mobile activation kit, the "SIM card serial number" found in the kit as well and the "Phone serial number (IMEI)" found on the iPhone box you received from Apple.
(5) Go to T-Mobile "Activate your new phone" https://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/ActivateCodes.aspx and enter those 3 numbers, very carefully. (I have heard any mistake may stop the process and you need a new SIM card to restart).
In the next screen, you will pick the plan (all prepaid plans are showing, including the $30 100 min / unlimited text / web, but beware as there is another $30 for 1500 min, no web) and then a phone number (or transfer your phone number) - when you click "next" you actually receive a text message on the phone right away! In the next screen you enter your payment information (debit, credit or purchased prepaid card), then you are done.
(6) I actually went back to my-t-mobile.com to create a login - pw so I can change my payment method later and see the data and minutes used.
No need to adjust any APN settings. Got LTE in my area and internet speed clocks at an amazing 32.77 Mbps Download. ENJOY!

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.

I am living in Saudi Arabia and I wish to buy iPhone 6 with face time enabled. How can I confirm the new phone is face time enabled or not? In Saudi Arabia face time enabled iPhone 6 is available with some shops.

All legitimate iPhones sold in SA have Facetime removed on the order of the SA Government and it cannot be reinstalled
any iPhone you purchase claiming to have FaceTime will be a grey import and may not function correctly as it will have been destined for another Country

Buy Iphone 5s T-mobile contract-free

I'd buy an I5s on Apple.com contract free, my question is linked to the sentence on the apple store page:
--> 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. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5s from a local GSM carrier... <--
Since I travel a lot, I'll need to activate my Iphone in Italy with an italian nano-SIM card...Can I do it or I must do the first activation with a T-mobile sim in USA ?

There are conflicted information in this forum. The contract free T-mobile 5s is not "unlocked" in US, it is supposed to be unlocked for overseas GSM. However, it is not clear whether you need to activate it on T-mobile first and wait for 40 days for unlock code to unlock it before you can use it overseas.
I contacted both Apple and T-mobile multiple times. None of them answered question with a clear answer.
The best way to confirm this is to purchase the 5s from the Apple Store. Remove the T-mobile SIM before you turn 5s on and replace the SIM with your international SIM. Turn it on and go through the initial setup to see if the iPhone is lock or not.
If it is locked, simply return to the Apple store with full refund in 30 days. Since Apple is not answering the question, why not try it yourself on their dime?

How can i connect iphone 4 with other mobile through bluetooth

how can i connect iphone 4 with other mobile through bluetooth

You can't. iPhone does not have this feature.
Some iOS apps will allow you to connect to other iOS devices for peer-to-peer games, or sending photos, but not to other makes of phone.

That's not how unlocking an iPhone works.
The carrier the phone is locked to submits a request to Apple, wh updates their database. When that is complete, you restore the phone with iTunes to process the unlock.

How is iTunes telling you it is unlocked? Did you go through an unlock procedure with your cell company and then Restore it in iTunes?
