Buying A Non Contract iPhone 5 From Best Buy

[max5peru]

Did you buy it full price at Best buy?
Did you need to activated it?

I have multiple full tilt phone, from AT&T and they are unlocked already. I restored via itunes and the message came up- along with my phones my wife has one also was unlocked.

I bought my AT&T iPhone from Best Buy full price. Locked with AT&T sim already installed out of the box. I unlocked it on eBay for a few bucks.

Why would you pay for that when AT&T will do it for free for anybody who has paid the "non-commitment price" for an iPhone???

Ok, this is what have i done
2. request the unlock to att but they denied my order because the phone is not linked to any account

They shouldn't have, according to their own policies.

A few dollars is worth the convenience rather than faxing my receipt to AT&T and waiting for who knows how long for them to unlock it.

Hi,

I went to Best Buy's website to buy an AT&T iPhone 5 and it gives you four options, one of which is "replace my device, no contract" and below that option it saids "unactivated price" at $699.99. You pay at the "checkout" with a credit card and pick up the phone at your nearest Best Buy location.

I wish to pay for the phone this way, since it is not yet available officially to buy an unlocked version from Apple. I would like to add that I am with another carrier (T-Mobile) and the AT&T version seems to be the best choice (from what I've read).

Is this "method" of buying this phone, a good way of getting an unlocked, non-contract iPhone? Thanks!

I think you should be taking your mum and dad with you so they know what the go is. They might have more of an idea.
