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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Sorry , but product is iPhone 5S

    You can't buy from the Apple store online in the US because it is country specific and you firstly need a US credit card and then a US address and they won't ship outside of the US so you can't.
    No Apple online store will ship outside the coutry.
    If you want an iPhone, then you'll have to order via the Russian Apple store online if there is one, or you'll have to wait until it is released in your own country or go and buy one in Europe.

  • HT3939 iPhone 5s T-Mobile contract free version from Apple Store: LOCKED or UNLOCKED?

    If i buy an iPhone 5s T-Mobile contract free version from Apple Store will it be LOCKED or UNLOCKED? Can i use it Europe with a local carrier? Cannot find a clear answer to this question anywhere! Thank You!

    According to a chat with an Apple support representative, the iPhone 5s is not yet sold fully unlocked. But it is unlocked for international use. This means that it won't work on any GSM carrier in the US other than T-Mobile. But it will work with any GSM carrier outside of the US using a SIM card. You should make sure the frequency bands are compatible with your local carrier.

    Hi Destiny
    Thank for contacting the Apple Online Store. I hope you are well. How may I assist you?
    I placed an order for 2 iPhone 5s
    this is the T-Mobile version, so I'm paying full upfront price... almost $2000 altogether
    My uderstanding is that these phones are factory unlocked, but the wording at the website is a little misleading. I want to verify that they are indeed fully factory unlocked because I plan on uisng them with AIO Wireless
    This may not be the option for your then. These iPhones come preinstalled with a T-mobile for use domestically and can be used internationally with a local GSM carrier.
    You would need to contact AIO wireless directly to see if it would be compatible.
    so they aren't truly unlocked?
    They are unlocked in the sense that they can be used internationally. I can see how that would be confusing. The option you are looking for would be the contract free and SIM free iPhone 5s.
    We have not released the unlocked iPhone at this time.
    We do have the iPhone 5c unlocked available. Have you considered that option?
    I have an iPhone 5, so the 5c isn't attractive for me
    Do you have any idea when the iPhone 5s would be released contract free and SIM free?
    At this time we do not have a release time frame. I'm sorry I don't have more information available for you.
    I recommend checking apple.com/hotnews for updates on it's release.
    ok, thank you.
    You're welcome. I apologize for the confusion.
    Is there anything else I can assist you with?
    This is all, thank you. I will cancel my order.
    Do you know how to cancel your order?
    yes
    Excellent! It has been a pleasure.
    Thank you for choosing the Apple Store. If you have any additional questions, please chat with us again.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Which iphone 5c works in spain if I buy it unlocked in USA

    You buy the unlocked, no contract phone found at all apple retail stores.
    Be aware that warranty coverage is only good in the country of origin.  If your phone needs service you'll need to bring it back to the US.

  • I dropped my iphone vertically on the ground. The screen is normal when it is locked. but when unlocked, it is broken down from the clock. Can it be fixed and is it under the warranty conditions? If not how much is the price to change the screen?Thanks

    User damage is not covered by warranty unless you have Applecare +
    assuming you do not,  the out of warranty exchange price for an iPhone 4 is $149,exchange at an Apple Store genius bar
    iPhone 4 are not repaired they are exchanged

  • 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.

  • How do I prove that I have never once changed my screen on my iPhone 5 since I upgraded in August. I am at my wits end. I work for o2 and I can promise I have never changed the screen. I got this phone in a sealed box and been down 3 times to Apple Store

    I am furious about this. 3 visits to Aberdeen Union Square to be told the screen on my phone is not apple merchandise. How can this be when I got the phone from o2 (my work) in a sealed box. I have never once sent the phone away to be repaired or made an insurance claim?
    The problem is my screen is becoming unresponsive. Sometimes does not work.
    I have restored my phone as told by Apple Technical ( may I add this gentleman was very helpful)
    I am basically sick of being called a liar by apple. I can swear this phone has never been tampered with except at The Apple store. I always have recommended Apple phones when doing my job as a sales advisor. I am at my wits end. I will not give up on this.

    I have heard of this possibly happening after insurance claims but nothing coming from a sealed box. I'm so frustrated by this as my touch screen doesn't work sometimes and this is causing big problems trying to answer calls. I have only had the phone since August. I set the phone up myself from the sealed box and its never been away from me, never have I had to send the phone away for repair or insurance claim.
    Feel like I've got a faulty phone and no one will help me...I trully believe all my phone is all Apple and always has been. I wish I could get photo evidence of inside the phone so i could see for myself.
    Its a very expensive phone which is driving me crazy.

  • Access two EAS with different Essbase versions and different java versions from the same p.c.

    Hi,
    I need to regularly access Essbase 11.1.2.2. and Essbase 11.1.2.3 EAS from the same client machine.
    They are on, and must be on, different versions of java, is there a way to have both versions of java installed but each using the correct version and without the two java versions causing any kind of problems?
    thanks,
    Robert.

    Hi Robert...  I assume this is web-launched?
    I spent a day or so trying understand the intricacies of the JNLP protocol and create shortcuts that will invoke web-launched EAS with the appropriate version of Java.  I can get one version of EAS to use the 1.6 Java Web Launcher, and the other version of EAS to use the 1.7 Java Web Launcher - but both Web Launchers eventually invoke the same version of Java!  There are switches in the JNLP syntax that seem like they should allow you choose the actual Java version that gets invoked, but I just could not make it work.
    You can use the Java Control Panel (in Control Panel) to enable and disable the relevant versions before launching EAS.
    If you find otherwise I would love to know (or if you find out how to control which versions are enabled or disabled via command-line script).
