A:AnswerThis is something you will run into with most phones on a carrier... Generally, they will discount the phone by a little if you purchase it on the 24 month plan, because they are banking on most customers staying with them for the full two years, which works out better for them in the long run, versus buying it outright, which then allows you to take it to any carrier.
A:AnswerI bought mine on sale $150 dollars off price and I got a trade in of $250.00 for my old phone Verizon will take that amount off of you phone payment in 24 equal payments so if you are paying for your phone on time its like a$10.. and change every month
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:AnswerFor some reason Best Buy has always put it as $100 more if you buy in full. If you buy installment plans with your carrier it comes out total as the normal price everyone else has. Not sure if Best Buy will price match the full price though.
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!
