If I didn't pay off my iPhone can I switch to another carrier?
I got the iPhone 5c a few months ago from at&t. I didn't pay for it in full. I was making montly payments on it. Now I didn't pay my bill and I'm trying to unlock it to switch to straight talk but someone is telling me since I didn't pay off the phone that it will only work for a few days? Is this true? Is this true it's confusing? Cuz say I did pay for the phone in full then why would I need to pay to have it inlocked? I should be able to switch to whatever company I want.
Please answer?
Once your phone is unlocked its unlocked. The only thing AT&T is going to do is bill for the remainder of the phone/contract. T-mobile will pay that off if you switch to them.
They will come after you to collect the money especially since you didn't buy the phone outright. Bad idea on your part.
- Will I get a free iPhone 6s if I switch from another carrier to Metro PCS? I'm a Cricket Wireless customer, thinking about switchi g to Metro. If I switch will they give me a free iPhone?
- What would happen if i sold a iphone but didn't pay the last bill? I bought my brother a iphone 3g and he's giving me his 4gs (it's cracked like hell but i can get an easy 50 bucks for it) to sell on ebay. The reason my brother is giving me this phone is because his bill is like 200 bucks (sprint of course) and he doesn't have the money to pay it so he's letting it shut off. So if i sell this unpaid phone what will happen? Will Sprint confiscated the phone from the person who buys it?
- Can I use my sprint phone with another carrier if it isn't paid off? I current have a iphone through sprint but the plan is pretty expensive. I'm thinking about switching to boost mobile. Can I use my sprint phone with boost mobile even though i haven't paid it off with sprint yet?
- If I buy an iphone used from another carrier ad buy a sim card from my carrier will that work? I have an iphone 4s with virgin mobile and I want an iphone 5 but all virgin mobile phones are so expensive! I looked on ebay for virgin mobile nano sim cards and they are only around 2 dollars. If I bought one of these sim cards and a used iphone 5 from another carrier would it work with my carrier?
