Can i get the $199 iPhone 5s without a SSN?

I understand that at&t allows you to get wireless service without SSN if you are willing to pay a deposit of $250. My question is-Does that only work for the $599 version or it works for $199 one as well?

Also, when can I get the deposit back.

Well obviously they aren't in the business of losing money, so you need to pay money up front if you have no SSN and want the contract price. I'm guessing you get your deposit back once you have paid the contract long enough so most is paid off.

$199 is the contract price as if you were going to get a 2 year plan. If you prefer not to do that due to credit check requirements and issues, then you need to pay full freight and price of $659. If you're going full price then don't buy from ATT just go the Applestore and buy an unlocked one you can use where you prefer. Best luck.

IPhone 5S for $599 is just one phone without service from AT&T, you don't need SSN to buy that. But if you're planning to sign up a contract and only then the price is $199, you've to pay $500 security deposit which is refundable after the contract is up.
