First off- Apple sent a lot of Jet Black Pluses to Best Buy. They ship next day and often are available in store if you are ninja. I got super lucky and found one. It's a great device but - buying from Best Buy- there are a couple thing I am surprsied/ confused buy.
"Reseller Locked" One odd thing I didn't understand and find sorta hard to believe but is true- Even if you buy full price these things lock to the carrier you activate it first on. Long story short, if it's not Verizon, it locks to that carrier- in my case ATT.
Also- I presume ATT will unlock the device on reuqest even tho I have 9 month on my contract. Is this the case? If not - since I need this for overseas travel I'll need to return it. That'll be a bummer if after all this I have to return it because I didn't activate it on a Verizon sim card first. (crazy).
How the heck does anyone legally lock a device that you pay full price for. Seems a bit sketchy.
Anyway- given it's a full price device will ATT unlock it even tho I have 9 months left on my contract?
