T-mobile X Fully Paid, Then What.......

[python0704]

Ok. Preorder completed. Fully paid X T-mobile version should be delivered on Nov 3. Now it's time to worry about next step. I'm not using Tmobile, so is there any specific step to activate X? I assume before turn on the X, I can just take out the Tmobile SIM card, pop in mine, and turn on X and enjoy. Or do I need to connect to iTunes or some other step? Does turn it on with Tmobile SIM card prevent me from using another carrier? Thanks.

Don't turn it on until you put your SIM in it, assuming you're using a GSM carrier such as AT&T / Cricket

Being a T-Mobile iPhone prevents you from using it with Verizon or Sprint since they use different radios.

How about using it on other services not in the US?

Got it. My carrier actually uses Tmobile network.

Bought both my SE and 7 as T-Mobile models to use on AT&T, because the Apple Store wouldn't let me buy the AT&T one without social security numbers and account numbers and it wouldn't work on a business line, whereas the T-Mo one was just click and buy with the same hardware.

I just put my SIM (AT&T) in it before turning it on and it was all peachy.

Should be good then, just make sure you don't power it on until your SIM is in

Of course. But since only Tmobile version doesn't require carrier info, I had to give up the possibility of switching to Verizon in the future. I don't want to wait for who knows how long for sim-free version.
