US iPhone 3GS with out contract. Can you use it on any network

Hi there,
does anyone know if you buy an iPhone 3GS in the US with out a contract, for the full price, if it is unlocked or you have to use it with ATT?
Thank you
GG

All iphones sold in the US are carrier locked to AT&T with no way to unlock them as AT&T does not unlock iphones for anyone for any reason. Thus, an iphone purchased in the US can only be activated and used on the AT&T network. It will not work with any other carriers sim. Without contract means just that, no two year agreement. That has nothing to do with whether the phone is locked or unlocked.

    i have an iphone 3gs  that i no longer use (upgraded since and changed network) how can i unlock/free the network settings to allow another sim?

    ONLY the specific mobile carrier that the iPhone is locked to can unlock it.  No exceptions.
    Hope this helps

    If your carrier supports tethering with the iPhone and you have a tethering plan for your iPhone with your carrier, yes - via the iPhone's personal hotspot feature.

    No it wouldn't be possible.
    I mean the network makes you communicate with others connect to one internal network. Though you can connect over cellular network.
    Cellular network is still a network.

  • If I factory reset my 3GS will I be able to use it on any network?

    Hi guys, first time I've been on here,
    Basically I want to use my 3GS on a different network, by factory resetting will this allow this to happen or is it not as straight forward as this, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Factory resetting has absolutely nothing to do with a phone's locked or unlocked status.  All factory resetting does is wipe all user data off the iPhone.
    If a phone was sold as unlocked, it can be used with another carrier.
    If a phone is locked to a particular carrier, only that carrier can unlock the phone.  Not all carriers (NONE in the USA) provide unlocking.

  • Can you purchase the iPhone 3GS with cash?

    Just like the subject asks, can you buy an iPhone 3GS with cash, or do you need to use a credit card? I'm selling my 3G on Craigslist (for cash, obviously), and would rather just run to the Apple Store and pay with that and save myself a trip to the ATM.

    For new customers I believe they need a credit card. But for existing customers you can give them cash and they will put it on a gift card and then swipe the gift card. For some reason, they have to do it like that.

  • HT201263 I cannot restore iPhone 3GS with iTunes

    I cannot restore my iPhone 3GS with iTunes. I am using Windows 7. Can anyone help me. I wont even boot. I previously jailbroke it. So i need help. I try restore. iPhone cannot restore. I try .ipsw file. Cannot restore because the firmware file is corrupted.

    Jailbreaking your phone not only voids any warranty with Apple, but also forfeits your ability to receive any assistance, including from this forum.
    Discussion of jailbroken phones is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use of this forum.
    You'll have to search elsewhere on the internet for assistance.  I know, why don't you start with the lovely people who helped you jailbreak your phone to begin with?

  • How can I sync iPhone 3GS with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not appear on monitor screen when I plug the iPhone into the computer?

    How can I ync iPhone 3Gs with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not launch when I connect the iPhone to my computer? Note: My computer crashed and I am reinstalling everything.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
