I ore order the iPhone 6 from Apple.com the us store but I will use it in Ecuador it was the iPhone 6 contract-free $650 and yes it is unlocked
i'm worried about the possibility that maybe my credit card was denied, and i have no ways to know about the situation
Bad english skills alert on me!
finally, 4 apple support agreed on unlocked
hi,
i've just had a chat with 4 different apple online support guys, they all said that it's unlocked right out of the box, and they were sending notifications yesterday and it will work with all compatible GSM carriers, so i've ordered mine and the silicone case.

The iPhone sold ON THE APPLE website for T-Mobile is UNLOCKED. Period the end.
I don't care what any rep at Apple or tmobile at cricket Verizon sprint straight talk anywhere tells you. THEY ARE WRONG.
THE T-mobile contract free full retail price iPhones sold at Apples website are UNLOCKED FOR ANY GSM CARRIER.
Hope it will be unlocked
I have talk so many times to
apple rep they told it is locked to tmobile.Then I told them, there are so many threads sayings its unlocked and some screen shot that apple rep told its unlocked. For that he told.We are also confused abt the threads,but still now we didn't get any information abt that. He told to put the AT&T sim and see if it works then its unlocked internationally. So i have ordered one. If it is unlocked then we can use it. Otherwise just return it.
WAITING FOR SEP 19th.......

Yes, I've ended my chat with them 3 hours ago, the only thing new today is they confirm that they got the unlocked info notification only yesterday, so it does make sense to be confused earlier.

Don't worry, Apple will let you know if your CC is regected and ask you to change it.
Hope you guys are right. I canceled my AT&T phone for $549 (64 GB) and ordered a T-Mobile one instead.
Only getting a partial subsidy and loosing my $25 a month shared plan discount was not cool. Save only $200 on the phone and get charged $600 in fee's over the life of the 2 year contract!!!!
So here's hoping it works, and that by some miracle it ships earlier than Oct 2nd.

This is strange... I just spoke to 1-800-MYAPPLE and the lady categorically told me that the phone will not work overseas out of the box. I will have to call T-Mobile and they will tell me if and how I can get it unlocked.
So many different answers! Only option we all have is to wait till 19th for someone to get their iPhone 6 and tell us the good/bad news! *fingers crossed*

Just to wrap everything up so everyone doesn't have to read the whole thread through:
The T-Mobile version sold through Apple Retail or Online Store is Unlocked. Period.
It differs from the version (they call sim-free/unlocked) as the T-Mobile version comes with a T-Mobile sim already inserted in the phone and it does NOT include the small metal ejector tool. But apart from the included sim and non-included ejector tool, the T-Mobile version from Apple Retail and Online Store is unlocked!
The T-Mobile version through T-Mobile is NOT unlocked, but can be unlocked later if you use the phone for 40 days and charge the account with a minimum of 100 USD.
Hope that clears any misunderstandings.
Cheers

I must say I am little relieved to hear this... I hope we get a final confirmation of this on the 19th.
