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.

If I buy an unlocked and contract-free iPhone 4s for my T-mobile, 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. -
Factory unlocked - contract free iPhone 5 available in Apple stores ?
Is there actually any official information about Apple selling contract free - network free iPhone 5 ?
Not in the US, as such is not available & there has been no announcement from Apple regarding when.

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).

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. -
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. -
Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2 year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy. Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me. These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE?? WHY? A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones... Please tell me why? All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue. I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone.
A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA. Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone. That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them. That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with.
Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country. I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
A response would be appreciated.
Thank you.
An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.
PDefiled:
I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east. She travels in missions all over.
At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone? AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier. If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" . My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T . I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product. My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
Thank you for your responses. -
Will factory unlocked/contract free iphone 4s work in trinidad and tobago?
Bought a factory unlocked/ contract free iphone 4s from the apple store online directly, shipped to a family member and they're bringing it for me tomorrow. I've seen people complaining abt activation issues and stuff. I'm curious as to whether i'll encounter any problems. I shouldn't because my service provider is a registered apple partner (bmobile - they're still selling the iphone 4, haven't upgraded to 4s down here). Anything special i need to do to activate my iphone when i get it?
US iPhone will not work with LTE/4G elsewhere. This is due to hardware
in the US iPhone, and cannot be updated. -
I'm thinking about buying an iphone 5s from an Apple store in the US in a few weeks time when I am there. If i buy it from a store is it factory unlocked or do they all come with contracts? If I bring it home to Ireland will I be able to bring it to my network provider (Vodafone) and get a new sim card put in so I can use it everyday in Ireland?
If I buy it in America, can it only be used in America or does it even make a difference, once it's unlocked? Will I be able to use it and all features fully?
On the apple website it says you can buy a Tmobile contract free iphone 5s. Is this the same as unlocked?
Thanks in advance for any answers and help."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. For details on LTE support, see www.apple.com/iphone/LTE."
If you buy it from the Apple Store you can activate it when you buy it. -
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.

If you want an unlocked iPhone then you have to wait until unlocked iPhones are sold, yes. -
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. -
I have a local carrier number, if i by a contract-free iPhone 6 can i swap the T-mobile sim that will be in the phone with my local carrier sim? in other words, IS the contract-free iphone also unlocked so it can be used with any carrier?
The T-mobile phone is advertised to be SIM-free. This does NOT mean unlocked. Unlocked iPhone 6's are not yet for sale in the US.

helo, my iiphone is unlock and i upgrade to 5.1 version when the upgrade finish i get this question-An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now? is there a resone not to upgrade, will he become lock?
If your phone is factory unlocked, or officially unlocked by your carrier, updating will NOT re-lock the phone. If it was unlocke by unauthorized methods, any update or restore will re-lock it.
