Unlocked iPhone 5 help please!

I am currently on at@t with the atrix 4g. I know that you cannot buy an unlocked iPhone 5 off contract yet from apple. I am new to the unlocked phone world and wondering how it will work. When the unlocked iPhone 5 off contract, does come out from apple will I just be able to go in store and buy it? Because I am currently using my atrix I do not have a micro sim, will at@t give me one? I only have a 3G sim because technically I only get hspa+ data speeds from at@t, since the new iPhone takes advantage of Lte, do I have to get a Lte sim? If you guys could just walk me through the process I would greatly appreciate it.

At the time that that you purchase an unlocked iPhone from Apple iit will most likely not include a SIM. This has been the case with the 4 and 4S. You will have to provide your own, depending on what carrier you choose. If you decide to swictch your ATT contract to the iPhone they should provide you with a SIM.
Plus you will be able to canccel your iPhone ATT contract at anytime since you are providing your own iPhone.

    Hello,
    If this is a new iPhone then you will have free access, as all iPhones come with it, to Apple support. I would have them take care of an issue like this.

    How I can buy an unlock iphone 5 in US?. I heard that Apple let people pre-ordered unlock iphone 5. But after 1 hour, they took it down. So what I see right now is only pre-order for the phone with contract

  • Unlocking Iphone 3G-- Help

    How do I unlock IPhone 3G. I was using the phone in the US for a year and cancelled the connection when returning to India. I have heard that Apple provides a patch using which I can get the phone unlocked through ITunes and continue to upgrade the OS.
    Please let me know a viable solution as I need to use the phone with my provider here in India.
    hitro

    Unlocking has to be done via the original iPhone provider. If you bought it from AT&T in the US, then I'm afraid you are stuck, as AT&T do not offer unlocking.
    You'll have to sell your current iPhone and buy another for use in India.

  • When I'm working with my Ipad it locks on its own and every several minutes I have to unlock it. Help please

    When I'm working with my Ipad it locks on its own and every several minutes I have to unlock it. Help please

    If your iPad was work provided there may be options that they locked out. For example, a privately owned device can be set to never auto lock (last I knew anyway) but it's not uncommon for work or school provided devices to not have the 'never' option.

    There is no way you can unlock it without the cooperation of the previous owner. Chances are you bought a stolen phone. Return it for a refund.

    'Swindle you'?  More like they tried to offer you an option to pay less than the value of the device ($549 USD + tax) or the normal out-of-warranty fee ($269 USD + tax), and instead offered the less expensive screen replacement ($129 USD + tax).
    But now that you've opened it, you've voided the two less expensive of those options. Now, you'll either be finding an unauthorized third-party shop to try and help, and you'll have to hope they don't swindle you, especially since they won't have legitimate or legal parts, or spend at least $549 USD + tax to get another iPhone 5S.
    Oh, and be advised, Apple doesn't sell parts to anyone, so any repair shop with a 'replacement' screen is either providing you with A) a screen salvaged from another device, B) a counterfeit screen or C) a stolen part.
    Ever hear the phrase 'penny wise, pound foolish'?  Look it up.

  • I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive and then tried to transfer it to my iMac. My music skips like a scratched cd now and I can't add any to my iPhone. Help please!

    I have two apple id's one from my old laptop and one from my iPhone. I saved my iTunes library to my external hard drive right before my old mac laptop died and then tried to transfer it to my new iMac. Now when I try to play my old music it skips like a scratched cd. Also, now I can't add any music to my iPhone unless it was purchased recently through itunes and downloaded through icloud. I tried to "Organize" my library in hopes of correcting the problem but my iMac just ejects my external harddrive part way through. Please help!

    Ejects the harddrive?
    Of what did your old Mac die?
    It sounds to me like you have some file corruption somewhere.  Either in the transfer of your library to the external or the external itself is flaky if it keeps ejecting.
