How does buying iphone from target work?

Target sells iPhones for Verizon AT&T and sprint for really good prices but they all say 2 year contract. I have tmobile and there you can bring in an iPhone and switch it onto their network… Can I do this by buying an iPhone from target and taking it home with me or do I already have to be on one of those networks?

You said you have T-Mobile right?

A 2-year agreement is a plan with a company. Like if I buy an iPhone 5 for $200 from AT&T with a 2 year plan I have to be with AT&T for 2 years. They have to be my provider, and you will have to pay them every month for 2 years, and if you try to leave they will fine you.

But if you buy an iPhone straight from apple WITHOUT a contract, it's about $800. Ouch.

In essence it's best to buy with a contract

I do not think target offers T-Mobile iPhones, since you're with T-Mobile I would go to your nearest T-Mobile and inquire about getting an iPhone. It may be costly, but your iphone will be your best buddy!

Hope I helped somewhat

  • Will Target sell the iPhone 5? I plan on going September 21 @ around 5pm. My area isn't that big of an apple crowd. Most people have the iPhone 4S anyway. But I'm relying on Target to trade-in my old iPhone 4 and games to shake down the cost from 449 to 131.3. Do they usually carry iPhones around the time they come out? Ah I see. This is how I got the iPhone 4 before though:/ the day captain america came out (7.22.11)
  • What is the tax on the Iphone 5C at Target and Radioshack? With Target mobile online and Radioshack.com, it shows that there are $0 in taxes for my zip code, with any android phone. Is that only for online purchases? Target has the Iphone 5C for $49.99 w/ a $30 gift card and at Radioshack it is $50. I'm not sure what either of those prices would be with tax. When I bought a cell phone with Cricket wireless, from Radioshack.com in Dec 2012, I payed $5.25 in taxes.
  • I dropped my iphone 4s the other day in target and i think the screen broke? There are no cracks or anything on the phone but everytime i try and turn it on with the home button these weird colorful lines show up is there anyway i can fix it? "and my lock screen button is broke"
  • Should I buy the iPhone 5s from target? Hey so I have AT&T and they sell that phone for 200 and target sells it for 100 so I was wondering why is the prices different and would it still be as good if I bought the target one compared to the AT&T one?
