Is the iphone 5s that I bought from Radioshack considered factory unlocked?
I bought an Iphone 5s from RadioShack two days ago. And they activated it for me with boost mobile for $35 a month. Can I switch carriers afterwards? And is my phone considered "factory unlocked" which I heard is better and makes my phone worth more.
No. Only Apple Stores sell factory unlocked iPhones, & in any case unlocked phones concern GSM carriers. Boost Mobile is CDMA.
No. When you turned it on to Boost, it's locked to Boost. Best luck.
If you signed a contract for service, the phone is locked to whichever carrier you signed up with. In general, only Apple Stores sell factory unlocked phones (and they are not cheap).
- 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.
