Hello, I wasn't sure how to phrase the title so... I will be visiting the US soon and I was wondering whether I can enter apple stores and just buy the iphone without contract and anything, even tough I am not American?

Is there any other places that non American citizens can buy from the iphone4? BestBuy maybe?


thanks for any help.
 
thank you for your quick replies, but I've seen a lot of iphones in ebay from the US that says it's without contract, how can that be?

You can buy a contract free iPhone but it is still locked to AT&T, it just doesn't require a two year contract.

OK thank you very much, this is what I meant, I know that it wont be sim free! I'm planing to JB when the JB is out but I want to purchase it while I'm in america, so I'm to blame for not explaining myself better.

So I can buy the iphone even that I'm only a tourist, but it just wont be sim free, right?

You will have to buy the iPhone on eBay or Craigslist or from a seller on here. If you go to AT&T and buy a no contract phone, they won't sell it to you unless you have a current AT&T contract to use the phone on.
 
Find someone who has AT&T and have them go there with you to buy it full price unsubsidized.
Give them cash to pay for it and it wont effect or extend their contract.
