What happens to an iPhone 5 after the plan expires?
I'm a resident outside of the United States and don't quite understand how this all works.
If my relative purchases an iphone 5 for $199 from Verizon( or any other carrier) can I use my own methods (suchs as GPP Sim unlock) to unlock the phone for use of the phone on carriers outside of the US?
Or does it mean the phone will have a bad ESN and I can't use it?
Verizon iPhone 5 are sold unlocked, by default. So you don't need to buy GPP SIM and risk your phone. Your relative will buy the phone with contract and will have to pay the bill.
- Will I be able to use my iPhone 5 outside the USA after my contract expires? I have a contract with Verizon that is about to expire in a few months. I'm wondering if I can be able to send it to my sister in the Philippines and still work over there if she inserted a Philippines sim card. Or do I have to jailbreak or unlock it?

- What happens when iOS 7 beta 1 expires? What will happen to my iphone 5 when the ios 7 beta one expires? I know I would have to go through the same process that I did to get the first one but I have a registered udid. Does this allow me to get the ota update and do I still have to download the firmware on the computer and update it manually? Any help would be much appreciated.
- What happens to my phone plan when using an unlocked iphone? I currently have a unlimited talk/text plan with at&t, I really want an iPhone 4, but my dad doesn't want to upgrade my plan to iPhone, if I were to buy an unlocked iPhone 4, and just put my sim inside, would this change anything on my plan? What I thought is, my plan won't change, I just won't have internet access unless I'm at home on the Wi-Fi internet. But all other features such as talk and text won't change, am I right?
