“What is a replacement item in iPhone 6 options? I am interested in buying an iPhone6 or 64 or 128G - (Space Gray) -- compatible with AT&T but with no contract as I will use it in Brazil where I live. I see the option of "replacement item" as a more expensive one -- may I understand that is an unblocked / non-carrier contract item as I al loping for? I would appreciate your support as I mean to purchase it through the internet and retrieve it in the US when I travel next October 10th. Thank you Roberto”

Have you looked into AT&T's "Next Program"? It's like leasing a phone. You have mostly payments and after a year you can chose to keep the phone and pay the remaining balance or trade it for a new phone. Look into that if interested.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you plan on purchasing the iPhone at retail price, I recommend purchasing from Apple directly. The iPhone 6/6+ come unlocked directly from Apple and are able to be used on Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. Not sprint because they use a slightly different system, so the sprint iPhones are different. That way you'll have an unlocked iPhone for any 3 of the companies and not have to purchase a locked to AT&T iphone. It doesn't really affect you since you'd be using a GSM network outside of the U.S., but why not just get it unlocked.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Buy your phone from the Apple Store. Those are all unlocked when you buy them for full price (except for Sprint phones, but you don't want one of those anyway... it's not GSM(.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Roberto, As of right now, Apple has not made any unlocked phones available. "Replacement items" are referred to if you don't have any type of insurance on the phone from any carrier (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile). But be ready to sell a kidney or lung, you will have to pay the outright price $649-$949 before taxes. If you want an iPhone 6 that's unlocked for that you can take with you to any country, any SIM, anywhere, your best bet is to go with Verizon. Most Verizon phones are already factory unlocked. It is a VERIZON phone, but not with Verizon service. It does come with a SIM, but that's because it just comes with it (you can use whatever SIM card that is available in that country, but only a nano SIM. Be wary that it may not be a 4G or LTE speed, but rather a 3G). But if you MUST go with AT&T as a service provider, you can do that as well. Be on the look out and frequent Best Buy's website as often & check back to see if an unlocked iPhone 6 is available.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The replacement item is the way you can buy the phone for full price from Best Buy. I'm not certain if it will come unlocked, but if it doesn't, the carrier that it's locked to will unlock it for you since you paid full price. I just did this myself with an iphone 6 thru at&t.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Bestbuy will not be selling any of the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus outright, at this point.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.as I understand it.. you will need to buy the T-mobile version of the iPhone 6 check the apple.com website. T-Mobile is the only one "unlocked" if you buy any of the Carriers ATT Verizon or SPRINT you will be carrier locked into the carrier you purchased the phone for. only T-Mobile will be unlocked. READ the fine print on Apple's Website before choosing which phone to buy
