How to purchase Iphone X unlocked version?

I am trying to purchase an I phone X by paying the full payment. Right now I am using the carrier "H2O wireless" (h2o Wireless is prepaid carrier which runs off the GSM 4G LTE network provided by AT&T) and I don't plan on changing my carrier any time soon. The only way I could get an iphone without entering any account information is if I click carrier>T Mobile>Pay in full, it takes me right to the checkout screen which also has a small area which says "Unlocked iphone with T Mobile Sim". If I purchase the phone will I still be able to use my H2O sim or any other GSM sim without any problems? I really dont want to change my carrier to T-Mobile after I get the phone.

Thanks alot.

Yes. The T-Mobile version is fully unlocked and can work with any compatible GSM carrier.

Just remove the T-Mobile Sim card, and install your own. You do not need to activate it with T-Mobile at all.

Pretty sure. Technically all 4 iPhone choices are unlocked. The only real issue is 3 of them require you have an active plan or activate one with the carriers then ordering.

For T-Mobile, you don't need an account, it clearly says unlocked in the checkout page, and T-Mobile iPhones have in past releases always been unlocked.

No reason to think it will suddenly have changed, and the checkout page would actually be wrong now.

Right now Apple is not selling an unlocked iPhone X. The T-Mobile option is your best choice. You can then ask T-Mobile to unlock the phone. I do not know how long you must use their service before they will unlock the phone.

Both of us have said the same thing regarding the T-Mobile option. If you can't believe us, then call T-Mobile and ask.
