Where can I buy unlocked iphones for tmobile? - 1

I was looking to purchase a new phone, but I'm not trying to pay full price from t-mobile. I heard I could buy unlocked iphones cheaper & still activate it with my account. Where can I look for unlocked iphones or any smartphone/android phone for a cheaper price? What do I have to do exactly to get it to work? How does it work?

I just want to know what the best option is because I hear people getting iphones & smartphones way cheaper than the full price t-mobile has people paying.

Craigslist, if you're comfortable meeting up with strangers. And eBay. I'd recommend calling t-mobile before you make the purchase to be sure your new phone will be compatible with the network. And avoid trying to activate a Verizon phone on the t-mobile network, it's a nightmare.

So your best bet is to browse craigslist for a t-mobile phone with a clean ESN, then all you have to do is take it in to activate it. CALL t-mobile before you purchase anything so they can confirm that the phone wasn't stolen or anything like that.
