If I buy an IPhone 4s from AT&T. Could I unlock it and switch it to T-Mobile?
I'm just trying to avoid paying $550. Instead I want to pay $100. Appreciate the help thank you.
No you will be stuck in a contract which would be very expensive to buy out of. The contract subsides the price of the phone.
If you get it from AT&T for $100 must sign a 2-year contract with AT&T, so you can't just switch to t-mobile, unless you pay like a $300 - $350 early termination fee.
Its not as easy as you think.
The 4S is $99, but then there's the activation fee, voice, data, text plans & then to get it unlocked there would be a fee as well. Of course even after getting it unlocked doesn't mean the 2 year AT&T plan ends so you'd have to pay $325 to do so.
Ignoring the voice/data/text costs you'd be spending $480.
Why not simply buy the phone from T-Mobile if the intent is to get one there anyway?
If your going to buy an ATT phone which is under contract the you can't unlock it. You need to buy a non contract phone to have it iphone factory unlock.
- I could get the iPhone 5s in like 3 weeks but I could get the 5c tommorow? I could get the 5s in a few weeks and I love it but I also really like the iPhone 5c and I could get a great otter box case for it or get the 5s but that would take 3 more weeks. What should I do?! And the 5c is still great right? Because a lot of people still have the 4s. And please don't say wait for the 6 because I'm not
- I'm currently at Boost Mobile, and want to switch providers as well as buy an Iphone 6+? What would the best SP be to switch to if I want a good deal on an iPhone 6+? I'm looking at AT&T as of now. But are there any better ones? And name some of the plans with the services if you can, please.
