A:AnswerBest buy has always been more expensive vs apple and verizon purchasing through them directly. I have bought my last 4 phones outright from best buy and every single time i had to price match. The last few phones were $50 more expensive, this one is $100 more expensive. Price match!!
A:AnswerFrom Apple's website one comparing different carriers, they show only the Verizon on as being unlocked as the others are not. I'd say look there for the ones that are unlocked and not by carriers. If you would want to look further into this I'd recommend calling the carriers support lines.

Only as a reminder to get the apple care plan on the unit as currently, iPhone screen replacements are 200-300 on basic models. Now that the iPhone X is an OLED screen and its curved on the inside of the casing. It would be near impossible to repair at home with an Amazon kit.
A:AnswerI think it won’t be a problem to buy the iPhone X or any other phone with your ID.....they won’t ask for SSN to buy anything, but I think you won’t be able to connect it and get a service with a phone company without an SSN. To open accounts with most companies, the first thing they ask for is SSN.
Good luck!
