Unlocked iPhone vs canceled contract?

I want to know if it's cheaper to buy an unlocked iPhone 5 (649$) or to buy one, at i.e. Verizon or at&t, and immediately cancel the contract?

If you cancel your contract you'll probably have some buyout clause to satisfy… Figure out what that is and then compare to the full price iphone.

if you do manage to score a subsidized iphone from AT&T you can easily unlock it now without jailbreaking it. Permanently unlock it. You'll need a new (non-att) sim, itunes and this service: http://gsmunlocklabs.com/unlock-iphone/

  • Will buying an iphone in contract and unlocking cause contract immediate fee? If i buy a iphone for example on att contract and unlock it, will att charge me what's left on the contract or will i just go by like nothing happened and free of contract? I haven't seen this but it makes quite a bit of sense for companies… Not sure if they do however.
  • Why has my order with AT&T Been canceled? I ordered an Iphone 5c on Thursday and everything went through, I checked online today and it said my order was canceled… I didn't cancel the order and I checked my bank account and it said my orders were still pending along with other purchases that went through successfully. What is the cause of this and why didn't anyone call or notify me?
  • Which is better iphone 5s plan, contract or no contract? I want to get an iphone 5s but i don't know if it's better to get a contract plan or a no contract plan. I would be having to pay every month with a contract and that's annoying. Yet with a contract i wouldn't have to pay that much for the phone would i? If i got the non contract i would get to pay the bill when i want but i would have to pay full price for the phone.
  • What is the difference between unlocked iPhone 6 and T-Mobile no contract iPhone 6? So I tried to go on apple website and look for an unlocked version iPhone 6 Plus, but they only have T-Mobile version is without any contract, but it comes with a T-Mobile SIM card, does it means that I have to use this card and T-Mobile service? Can I use other carrier's card instead if I buy this version of iPhone? I travel a lot, like going back to China, I use China Mobile, can I use their SIM card on this T-Mobile iPhone?
