Buying unlocked iphone in USA!

Dear Friends,


I am in USA as a visitor and need to purchase an Iphone 13pro unlocked which could work on any international sim / no contract basically. Could you please guide me how can I buy it online on apple online store ? also will they accept payment by Indian Visa credit card ? Or do I need to but a visa pre pard card available in most of the USA stores and supermarkets and then reload that card with money in order to pay for the iphone on Apple store online.


kindly guide me the best option as where I am leaving apple store is 100miles away from here so i left with only buying online option,


At present i am in Milan New Maxico NM USA.


Thanks and Regards


Deepak Kumar

Hi Deepak:


Visit 👉 www.apple.com and begin the purchase of your iPhone. Select the model, color and storage capacity. You will then be given options to purchase with a carrier (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon etc) OR an option that states, "Connect on my own later". Choose the "Connect on my own later" option since this option will provide an unlocked iPhone.

You can attempt to pay with your VISA card issued in India. I do not know whether it will work but give it a shot. If it does not work then go with your plan B related to paying with a prepaid credit card.

FYIThese are user-only forums. This is not Apple Support. if you need to contact Apple Support, then contact product and tech support: đꑉ Contacting Apple for support and service including international calling numbers.


Deepak, you will have to place the order and enter the shipping address during the order placement procedure. If the shipping address is valid then the transaction will complete and you will be provided with confirmation.
