Unlock my AT&T iPhone still need to pay?
So I brought an iPhone from AT&T with 2 years contract and unlock it to Tmobile. Do I still need to pay the 2 years contract if I unlock my contract iphone? Thanks!
Added (1). Ok thanks… I saw some unlocking on eBay. It said the phone can be unlocked even if contract, blacklist, and lost/stolen. It said when it unlock you can use on any carrier on blacklist too. Is that true?
Yes, otherwise you need to pay an early termination fee
if you don't do one of these, AT&T will put your phone on a blacklist, and it will be deactivated, and not be able to be used with ANY wireless company in the world, even if its unlocked.
Yes; the phone is irrelevant after your initial purchase. What is relevant is the fact that when you purchase the phone, you agree to service with AT&T for two years, with a plan that also includes a data package. You can unlock the phone and bring it to T-Mobile, but that doesn't do anything towards your agreement with AT&T. You either pay out the two years or pay the early termination fee ($375 - $10 to $15 per month spent on contract).
Yes you still need pay.
Yes you still need to honour any contracts you have regardless of whether you get it factory unlocked unless you pay the ETF (early termination fee) from AT&T.
- Verizon upgrade fee? Can I pay at the store or do I have to pay it the next bill? I plan on upgrading my phone and renewing my contract next month in January. I plan on getting the iPhone 5s. I'm on this family plan with one line. Is there's an activation fee that I have to pay? Can I pay the upgrade fee at the store while purchasing the new phone? Or do I have to pay it on the next bill?
- Is pay as you go better than pay monthy for an iphone? I can either can an iphone 4 (32gb with small scratch on screen) for 100 pounds and then have a pay as you go sim or an 8gb iphone 4 for "effectively 14.88 a month". Which works out the better deal?
- If you pay monthly for a phone is there anything else you have to pay? For Christmas I want an iPhone 8+ and pay it monthly. I would buy it from something like Verizon, us cellular, att, and others. Would I have to pay any other fees? Say it was like $23.50 a month for 24 months. Would I have to pay anything else after 24 months?
- If I were to win a free iPhone 4S would I still have a data plan to pay for? I really want an iPhone and I might end up winning one! But if I win an iPhone will I still have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for the data plan?
