I own a launch weekend Space Gray, 128GB iPhone 6s+ "in basically perfect condition" that was fully unlocked 40 days in. And I gave over $950 for it to T-Mobile during a two year span of time.
$80 for yours?
This is nothing short of depressing!

I really don’t know man I bought a iPhone 7 for $200 sold it for $300 to this guy so I asked him about this phone and we made a deal on it for $80 so in reality I have -$20 in it lol
$80 is a great deal, I’d spring for a new battery from Apple for $49 and use it until you want something different then keep it as a spare..
I thought GSM carriers didn't unlock phones until the balance on the phone was fully paid off or paid in full at time of purchase. You sure?
That’s another great thing about it. The guy put a brand new battery in it back in October.
You just got really lucky I guess. Here we are paying a grand for our new phones and you managed to get one for eighty dollars in mint condition. Enjoy your gloating fest...
If it’s in perfect condition as you say, for $80, that’s still really strong contender of a phone with performance and features. Personally, I would have paid over $80 if it was in perfect condition.
If someone offered me a 6S plus in good condition for even £80 I would buy it just to keep as a spare.
Yes, I'm sure.
We ported from Sprint to T-Mobile in September 2015. But mid-December, as part of the Satisfaction Guarantee the website said I was eligible for unlock. So, I took my IMEIs, got on chat and asked them to unlock. Which they did.
I inserted a non-active AT&T SIM in the phone and was asked for my Apple ID credentials, no errors. It even accepted my old Sprint SIM, although there wasn't anything I could do with that.
Phone numbers changed, etc, etc. So yeah.
We were on JOD at the time.

Not at all just didn’t know if this phone was worth much since it is getting older. Didn’t know if I got a decent deal or not.Seems like that was his intention with this thread.
At T Mobile it usually has to be paid off plus 40 days of service or use. Sometimes though I have heard of them doing it early or while still with a balance if you are traveling or in the military. Can’t speak for ATT.
Interesting. Thanks. There was a time I looked into ATT, about a year ago or so, but realized Verizon was still a solid choice for us. Great signal strength practically wherever I've been except in the middle of nowhere in flyover America, but that's where a sat phone comes in handy.
Unless you happen to be a customer porting in on JOD. Then, the requirement for it to be paid off is waived and only the 40 days apply (if you don't leave and ask earlier).
That's their customer guarantee thing.
