iPhone 6 Contract Free/T-Mobile?

they sent me a mail code to send to then for free and send me back in 10 days or so.... don't know if it was a new phone or the old one, i THINK it was another one, any way it was in mint condition

Brit,

No the contract free version is unlocked, you might want to read this article: http://www.techwalls.com/differences-between-iphone-6-6-plus-models/

I use the contract-free version all the time when I travel, it is not locked at all.

According to at least a dozen first-hand reports on Twitter (just search "T-Mobile iPhone 6 unlocked" or something similar), the T-Mobile version is indeed unlocked. Most of these reports so far are for swapping out T-Mobile and AT&T SIM cards with no problems.

Sad that this had to be so complicated.

I can second that ^ from what kai has said. I purchased the "contract-free" t-mobile phone this morning. I put my at&t chip in before I even started the phone. Works perfectly. The phone is definitely unlocked.

as i already bought 2 iphones you just made my day...

thanks for the input

Just inserted an ATT simcard on the iphone 6 (witch i got on pre sale on the apple website) and it is working just fine. everything is perfect, it is unlocked, no worries about anything. and for those using it in another country, i inserted a Venezuelan simcard and is working just fine in roaming. So YES, you will be able to use it internationally as well. Good luck everyone

You are right, iPhone 6 T-mobile contract free (A1549) is not works with all carrier using 4G LTE. This model A1549 uses FDD-LTE, but some carriers only use TDD-LTE, like China Mobile. Every models have their own works spectrum.

Model A1586 ((iPhone 6 sim-free) works well with FDD or TDD-LTE. Just be careful.

USA iphone 6 works in the UK

An iphone 6 bought from an Apple shop in the USA last week works in the UK as the one I bought works fine with my UK sim card in when I just got back
You must buy the expensive T mobile contract one .Put your UK sim card in BEFORE turning it on and then activate in the usual way
They did this in the set up section of the Apple store for me
There was no problem buying on from the Apple store and stock is available despite what the Apple.com store says!!!
I ordered in the morning by telephoning the Apple store close to my location there and collected the same day

HI this is incorrect. ANY iPhone 6 from the U.S. will work in the UK on all our 4g networks. They have such a large spectrum of connected wave bands now on the iPhone this is no longer a worry. You just need tI get one that isn't in contract.

My comment is correct and I do not post untrue information

If you buy an iphone6 in the USA you have 2 choices

1. Contract tied to AT &T,Verizon and Sprint - these will not work with a UK sim card until after your contract is finished and the US carrier unlocks it-I believe 1 year minimum. My US based son has one of these

2. The contract free T mobile one which is more expensive but will take any UK sim card as the one I bought does and works fine here since I arrived back

Apple describe the T mobile phone as contract free but it is sim free as well- confusing I know but Apple want UK people to buy the UK phone at a higher price !!

The phones from 1 will not work with a UK sim card as my son found out visiting here in late September with a AT &T iphone6

Buying the T mobile one saves money too and you get get the local tax refunded at the big airports on leaving the US

If that is correct why have Apple produced Models for US use and different models for use on 4G elsewhere in the world hardly for fun ?

Because the U.S. have different ways to use sims so UK phones won't work in the UK but US do work in the UK. Rocket science it's not!

Weirfdly monet208 I bought a verison iPhone 6 and mine works fine as there was no 32gb T-Mobile ones left but I guess you must know best as you don't post untrue comments.
