IPhone carriers - SIM Cards?
I'm looking to buy an iPhone, and the one I'm looking at doesn't have the carrier listed and the seller isn't replying.
So my question is, if the carrier isn't right for me, can I just take out and replace the SIM card with a card from my carrier? Or is it, like, set?
Is there a way to unlock the phone to a different carrier if it's not on the right one?
The carrier I'm going with is one that carries iPhones, so I just need to know that if the phone comes with a separate carrier, can I change that?
An iPhone usually locks to the first sim card put into it. So if this phone has had a sim card in already it most likely will not work with your carrier (unless it is the same)
Best to find out from the seller before buying to be on the safe side.
If you unlock the iPhone, you can choose your carrier. Of course there's a way… Millions have done just that.

- What other carriers Rogers SIM card work with? I have an iPhone 4s and is locked to Rogers when I first bought it. I do not want to spend $50 on unlocking. It just seems that Rogers is very expensive and hope that the Rogers SIM card would work with another carrier?
- Taking out sim cards and cellular data on iPhone 4s? Currently I'm in a different country and do not want any unexpected charges to pop up on my bill when I return. My sim card is out but I still send emails and browse the internet using the local wi-fi from my location; since the sim card is out, I won't be charged? Also, what is cellular data? Like I said, I took out my sim card and data roaming is disabled but cellular data is turned on, I won't be charged for it being on since the sim card isn't inserted, correct?
