I somehow ended up on this site and read your post. If not too late, official AT&T factory unlock started approximately 04-01-12. I had an old iPhone unlocked and now use it with T-Mobile.

I’m going to buy an unlocked iphone in the next month and I have a question. I live outside the US and I want the iphone to work on carrier in my country, but I will stay a few weeks in the US after buying the iphone. If I buy it with no contract from the Apple Store and then activate it with a prepaid plan from any US carrier, will it still be unlocked to use in my country?

I would like to buy an unlocked iphone 4S from the Apple store which i would like to use with my Orange plan when I am in Israel and with my AT&T plan when I am in the US. Will I be able to interchange the micor sim cards using the same phone in both places? This is more a matter of convenience than cost as I am already paying for a plan in both countries.

February 11, 2012 at 5:32 am I WILL LIKE 2 BUY MANY IPHONES BUT THE ONLY THING I WILL SAY THAT IF U BUY LIKE 20 OF THE THEM DO U GET A CHEAP PRICE THEN HOW MUCH WILL IT COME UP 2 IPHONE 4 S

This is Apple’s discount structure for the Officially Unlocked iPhone 4s:

Quantity Discount%
1 0
2 5
3 10
4 15
5 20
6 25
7 30
8 35
9 40
10 45
11 50
12 55
13 60
14 65
15 70
16 75
17 80
18 85
19 90
20 95
21 100
30 145
40 195
50 245
100 495

So basically, once you buy more than 21 unlocked iPhone 4s ‘s, Apple starts paying YOU. If you buy 100 iPhone 4s ‘s, they will pay you more than 5 times what you paid them. I am not sure if US Customs or TSA will give you trouble taking them out of the country in big quantities. You might want to take one on each trip.

Hi you could try inserting a sim card from a different US company. If it works I would guess that your phone is unlocked.
Good Luck

I bought a full-priced ($850) unlocked iPhone 4S in November, last week, due to some problems with the WiFi to 3G switching (or non-switching) Apple offered to replace it with a new one. I made it clear that my original phone was unlocked. After some uncertainty on the part of the “Genius” he set me up on a new iPhone 4S, but I have not way of verifying my new iPhone is truly unlocked. I’m leaving for Europe in a couple of months and plan on using a different SÏM while there. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hey guys,

Sorry to bother you again with the same topic but I’m about to buy me an unlocked iphone 4S and I’d like to be as sure as possible that my iphone will work in the US but also in France.
I’m doing an internship in Miami so for several months I’ll be using the iphone 4S with a T-Mobile 4G prepaid plan, I don’t mind if the 4G doesn’t work I just need 3G and network to call and text. Can you assure me that the unlocked iphone will work with T-Mobile? For now, I have a “normal” simcard, if I go to a T-Mobile store to change my sim card into a microsim card will they charge something?

Back in France, I’ll be using my Iphone with an Orange sim card do you think that it will work? Will I have any problem with the phone excepting the problems I can have with the carrier?

Thank you very much
