Can anyone confirm ATT Device Only iP6 unlocked?

How did you preorder an ATT phone without upgrading or opening a new line? This is what I would have preferred to do, but I had to choose a new line.
I didn't preorder. I showed up this morning and they are going through the line taking reservations for the daily stock.
----------
I actually hoped for VZ models as they'd be most versatile for resale, but they only had a gold one left when it was my turn to reserve. They were out of all Tmobile but had all ATT so that's what I picked.

Oh cool, lucky you. I wonder if I can cancel the new line order and switch to "device only" when I pick mine up?
You could try....post what you find out....I've been curious about that as a preordering strategy.

I'm getting 6 pluses. They seem to have plenty of regular 6.
I will try to keep you posted.
If i miss on tmobile ill be getting an AT&T. I hear stay away from verizon/sprint
Any AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon "Device Only" iPhones sold at an Apple retail store are unlocked. Make sure you ask for "Device Only."

Verizon is also unlocked for GSM.

VZ is fine but avoid sprint.

I know it should be (5S was)....just hoping for confirmation from someone who bought this morning.
OK it's confirmed!!
I'm home and I just put my T-mobile SIM in the phone and as soon as I turned on it got signal and said LTE but didn't say which carrier. I put in my wifi password and it said activating. Then T-mobile appeared as the carrier! Now restoring from my 5S backup!

Doesn't appear to be. Seems like same setup as last year. I don't have an active foreign sim to try. Hopefully someone else can verify. But I would say there is a 99% chance of no issues.

Additionally my carrier now says "T-mobile wifi" so no issue with wifi calling working on a ATT phone either!
This is great news. I have been trying to get this answered since very early this morning. There is so much miss-information out there around this and all of it is based on rumors. Good to know someone tested.
Any chance we can get some pics so I can tell some doubters I was right?
I haven't been able to get my hands on an ATT ip6 yet.
I dont think that is a device specific problem, I think thats a problem with CDMA which is the technology Verizon uses.
Sorry, I should've been more clear. My bad. The Android phones are able to use data on LTE and Voice on 3G (cdma). I was just curious if the new iphone can do it.
Thanks for sharing. Did you test before you attached the phone to your ATT account? Curious if it stays that way after you attach it to your AT&T line.
Got it. I was just wondering if you had a Tmo sim in when you activated it or an ATT sim.
