A:AnswerThey will lock to the first carrier sim you put in it. Mine is currently locked to tmobile, after a few weeks you can call them and ask to unlock. Dont buy this if youre taking it as a gift to someone who doesnt live in the US, it wont work with foreign sims
A:AnswerThere is no catch. It is just an incentive that T-mobile is offering their customers to keep them from switching. I ordered this phone and the $100 discount was just a line item on the receipt labeled as "Promotion". The phone doesn't renew any contract, doesn't require a change in service plan, and doesn't get put on your monthly T-mobile phone bill.
A:AnswerMy iPhone came with a sim, but I used the one that was in my previous phone. I think the iPhone also comes with eSIMS, so you wouldn’t have to buy one even if the phone didn’t come with a physical one.
A:AnswerWhen you place the order online to buy the iPhone, there’s an option to also schedule a free appointment with BB tech guys. They will do all the work. You only need to unlock your phone several times. They will do all the work to transfer all apps and everything else from your old phone to the new phone.
A:AnswerMy advice would be to read the fine print on the promotion or purchase agreement that you’re getting into to better understand the requirements of the trade in. The promotion that I got, in the details of the promotion it stated that my phone had to be paid off so I had to pay off my EIP before I traded in my phone. The other thing you could do is to ask the Best Buy rep, sometimes they know right off but other times they have to read the details themselves. Bottom line, read before you sign, good luck!
A:AnswerI honestly don’t see a reason why you can’t wait until Christmas to activate. But keep in mind depending on carrier that would also delay the potential unlocking of the device.
A:AnswerThat’s how t-mobile screws people! Never go the bill credit route! If it’s not a deduction of the purchase price don’t do it because you will not own the phone until the bill credits are done.
