Why can't I choose an option WITHOUT any mobile operator? I don't need it, this is supposed to be a gift and that person already has mobile operator that one likes. null

Then purchase the one for the operator at FSRP. Phone won’t be unlocked though until the policy for the provider. Best Buy doesn’t make money on the phone. If buying FSRP my opinion buy from Apple.

Answer

You can buy it still and THE PERSON can take their gifted phone to their cell carrier and have it connected ASK FOR 100% clarity but I’m almost sure that’s not a problem AT ALL

Answer

Best Buy only sells carrier supported phones.  To get an unlocked, you have to order from Apple on the Apple web site

Hey I actually went through this dilemma as well; this'll be the first Apple phone that I own. Best Buy ONLY sells carrier locked versions. In order to get one that is factory unlocked out of the gates, you HAVE to get it from Apple directly. I purchased mine on the Apple Website. It's either that or in the Apple store, though I venture online will be the path of least resistance. Only problem is that as of now, there's a 3-4 week delay POST release date.. But... Unlocked and buying outright is the way to go.

You can only choose this option if you order directly from Apple or buy in an Apple Store.
