How does factory unlocked iphones work?
I'm thinking of buying factory unlocked iphone 4s from the apple store. How does factory unlocked iphones work? Are the text messages or calling free, etc?
No the texts, calls are not free. No phone would do that.
It works the same as any other iPhone. Difference is, it is able to work with any GSM carrier in the world, vs the locked one which can only work with 1.
Nope calls and text messages won't be free in factory unlocked phone… It functions the same as the other mobiles do. The only difference is the locked phone is tied to one specific carrier and therefore can't be used with other wireless network providers. A factory unlocked phone and unlocked phone can both be used with a SIM card on any network. However, the main difference is that a factory unlocked phone has been unlocked by the carrier or retailer and an unlocked phone has been unlocked by a third party. Factory unlocked phones are shipped from the source and unlocked before being sold to the customer. The Iphone can be bought from the Apple retail or online store factory unlocked. But the main limitation of getting an unlocked mobile is the cost, you would end up paying a couple of hundreds of dollars. So its better to get a locked phone at cheap cost and unlock it yourself using third party vendors online… Http://www.mobileunlocksolutions.com this is the place where i got my Iphone unlocked from, by using remote unlocking method.

My uncle tried to do it a couple of months ago and apple said that if it was factory unlocked every time the phone shut off or died it would reset. I was just wondering if the same thing would happen if it wasn't factory unlocked? So if I get it unlocked everytime it will shut off it will reset? That is what i'm worried about.
