What does factory unlocked mean?
I was looking to buy an iphone from ebay globalbuy and costs of some iphone's r low having at&t or sprint or verizon(i'm guessing they r sim card brands) but some others have a higher price but it says that it is factory unlocked, what does it mean, while you r at it can you tell me what exactly is sprint, at&t etc
You can't use an iPhone made for an American carrier (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon) in India. Sprint and Verizon phones are not compatible (they are CDMA devices), and the AT&T model uses different cellular frequencies, so you won't get 3G or 4G services.
If you buy one unlocked, you need to make sure it will work with carriers in your country.
- Will an unlocked iphone 4S work for tmobile if it isn't factory unlocked? I want to get an iPhone 4S and my friend has the iPhone 4 unlocked but i'm worried that if i get it non-factory unlocked it won't work. My uncle tried to do it a couple of months ago and apple said that if it was factory unlocked every time the phone shut off or died it would reset. I was just wondering if the same thing would happen if it wasn't factory unlocked? So if I get it unlocked everytime it will shut off it will reset? That is what i'm worried about.
