Where can you buy Iphone 5s full price without paying service?
EBay and Amazon is a good choice. The phone would be with no contract. Search iPhone 5 unlocked. And you can then choose from many the one that fits you
The wording of the text has been changed too, before it said "unlocked", now the ad on Apple.com just says contract-free with no mention of the T-Mobile variant being unlocked. Apple said I had to call T-Mobile to get it unlocked.
I escalated with higher-ups at the Apple store as well as T-Mobile, in person and on the phone, and the answer from T-Mobile is even if the phone is bought full-priced, it is locked to T-Mobile, and can be unlocked only under certain conditions (minimum 40 days owning device, minimum top up of 50 dollars on prepaid)
Apple also said the T-Mobile iPhone 5s bought in the Apple store would need a call to T-Mobile to be unlocked (DESPITE paying full-price!) T-Mobile detailed their unlocking policy, saying 40 day minimum before unlock can be done, to deter people selling abroad… What right do they have to lock a phone that's been paid for in full?
I was furious and arguing with T-Mobile and Apple employees and reps all day to get to the bottom of the situation, and the final answer seems to be it is locked.
When the T-Mobile iPhone 5 was launched, was it unlocked if payed full-price? Subsidized? I've unlocked T-Mobile iPhones before through a source, so means they were locked to T-mobile.
What is the situation and best way to get an unlocked iPhone 5s- unlocked meaning able to use the phone with any GSM carrier immediately, without need for an unlock code.
T-Mobile iPhone 5s seems locked to T-Mobile, even payed full price at Apple store.
AT&T is locked, but easily unlocked. If paid full-price for AT&T iPhone 5s, will it be unlocked immediately there? Is a contract necessary?
Verizon - is it unlocked off the box? If bought full-price, is a contract necessary with Verizon.
I just need to buy a few completely unlocked without hassles of contracts and signing up, just pay money and get out with phones I can insert any SIM card.
Now, seems like NO ONE knows what the hell is going on, the system in the US Is INSANE.
- Was getting an iPhone XR ($750) value for free while paying full price for an XS Max ($1100) value a good deal? Considering my mom did this just last week before the iPhone 11 was announced today was this a good deal, I know the value of both these phones will go down but she liked getting the free phone for my sister.
- Is it worth paying full price for the iphone? My service provider (Koodo) ONLY sells the 8gb iPhone 4 and 16gb iPhone 5. I don't think think that's enough space for me, I need at least a 32gb 4S. However, this means I have to buy the phone at the apple store or elsewhere, and pay $500+ for it. Is it worth it? Also, what are some legitimate websites to but the iPhone from, other than the apple store?
- If i buy a iphone online, can i activate it without paying the early upgrade fee? I have AT&T. Actually, it doesn't need to be an iphone… I'm possibly looking into getting an HTC or something smiler…
- How to upgrade without paying full retail? I have a contract with AT&T and I had an iPhone 5 that was stolen a couple of months ago. I'm only about 11 months into my contract so I'm still paying for it. I want to upgrade to the new iPhone coming out later this month. Can I just pay my ETF and then buy the iPhone on a new contract? There are two other lines on my plan that I would not cancel. And would I be able to get my same number back?
