Hi,
I've just spoke with Apple support about the issue and here is the conversation :
me : is the iphone 6 plus 16gb t-mobile for 749$ comes unlocked out of the box?
Yvonne : Great question, and i'm glad you've asked. The TMobile iPhone6 Plus is not a completely unlocked sim-free device. It's contract-free but not carrier free. It comes to you with a preinstalled SIM for use on their network.
Me : so i can not remove their sim and use another one without getting back to them?
Yvonne : That's something only TMobile can answer at this point. It may just be a matter of wording, but what we consider factory unlocked is a device that's hardware unlocked for use on any network, with any carrier's sim, This phone is only contract-free, and unlocked for use on GSM networks outside of the United States.
Me : so it's up to t-mobile, it's either 100% unlocked or only contract free with ability to use outside US, right?
Yvonne : it is up to TMobile to enable you to use on another network. And up to the other carrier to determine if they will activate; and just to be straight-up, it's not 100% unlocked.
Me: ok, thanks for your help.
So can anyone who got t-mobile from apple store for full price contract free tell us if it worked on another network (outside and inside US) with full functionality of Data and Calls?
Thanks,
