A:AnswerIf you want one unlocked completely then order from Apple (the Sim-card free option). Otherwise it depends entirely on the carrier you have and their unlocking policy. Example...Verizon auto unlocks after 60 days. You would have to verify policy for any other carrier you use.
A:AnswerIts absolutely ok to take the benefit of the discount the carrier provide but be mindful about the network coverage in your workplace and home. My hospital have a bad coverage on Spring mobile so despite i knew spring is giving a massive discount i sticked to Verizon.
Good luck
A:AnswerAll of your major carriers sell both Apple and Android based phones. You may have to go to Verizon to switch your phone information from T-Mobile if BestBuy cannot do it.
A:AnswerYes, but third parties usually provide better pricing for used phones than Best Buy does. You can look them up online and get immediate pricing subject to inspection.
A:AnswerPattie, Best Buy will transfer everything from your old phone to the new phone. Your phone number will not change unless you ask for a different number. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerUNLOCKED only means that the DEVICE can ONLY BE USED by a SPECIFIC CARRIER ( SPRINT, VERIZON , ECT...)
your phone will work as long as you havent changed your carrier .
A:AnswerHi. I just had to pay the taxes on it up front. I included payments on with my phone plan and just pay the bill every month and make a payment for the phone with my phone bill.
