Paying Early Termination Fee (ETF) for iPhone 5 and factory unlocking it later?

Hi! I wanted to know about Early Termination Fee for my iPhone 5 since i'm travelling soon.

Can i terminate my contract and factory unlock it later?
And Are there any problems with cancelling my contract since i'm not going back to US?

You have to talk to your carrier, but some will allow you to terminate early, others will require you to pay out the contract. You can factory unlock it any time with services like iPhoneUnlockedCheap.com but you still have to honour any contracts you have, it will still be unlocked and you can use any SIM

  • What will happen if I don't pay my termination fee? So I have an 2 iPhone 6's and an iPhone 5s combined have a total etf of like $1300 and I'm not paying that. I planned to sell the phones to try to pay it off but what if I sell it to an AT&T customer? (Phones came from AT&T) can they just pop their SIM card in and the phone will work since it's locked to att?
  • Verizon Wireless Termination Fee? I was planning on canceling my plan with verizon wireless. The termination fee is "$175, or $350 if you purchased an Advanced Device". I have two iphones and two regular phones with my plan. Does this mean I have to pay to terminate each phone plan separately or will it be a total of $350 dollars because I own an advanced device?
  • Verizon iphone 5 early termination? If i buy the iphone 5 32g from verizon with 2yr contract for $299 and then cancel the service after 20 days by paying required $350 early termination fee, does this mean that i will own the iphone for total of $649 (299+350) and switch to other carrier? canceling after 20days is because if i terminate the service in 14 days, i have to return the device
  • Verizon early termination fee? I want to get out of my plan on verizon… There are multiple phones on the plan but I just want to disconnect 1. What is the early termination fee iv'e heard of. I also heard about the advanced devices situation. I have a iphone 4 if it matters? Thanks! Btw: my contract is up this august or october i believe.
