“Is this iPhone 13 pro max 256 gb comes unlocked when I pay one time payment?”

• Best Buy (and I guess other third-party) purchased phones are initially unlocked, but they get locked to the first carrier they get activated on! Once locked to the carrier, no one will assume the responsibility to unlock the device in the future! Truly unlocked iPhones are only sold by Apple! Carriers will sell a locked phone to their service but they could unlock it once the phone is paid off. Best Buy will not unlock any phones (even fully paid) that they sold and no one will unlock their phones! I learned this the hard way! Hope this helps.

  Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.

• Nobody will take responsibility of unlocking the iPhone, neither T-Mobile, best buy or Apple. The later 2 will direct you to T-Mobile to get the iPhone unlocked and T-Mobile will direct you to the later.

• Pay it in full and yes, it’s unlocked. It may take a few days tho, depending on your carrier
