Hi,

I am planning to buy an unlocked Iphone 6+. I am still under contract with EE with my Iphone 5s. When I get the new Iphone, can I insert my current contract SIM without locking back the device? Will the Iphone 6+ stay unlocked with this contract SIM?

Once you buy the 6Plus and connect to iTunes it will tell you that the phone is unlocked. I don't think you are going to be able to use the SIM card from your 5S at all. The new Sim card should communicate to AT&T that the phone is unlocked, if not you will have to call AT&T and have them make adjustments to your account. This is a special circumstance so its hard to be certain what the process is.
 
Hi,

Sorry I forgot to mention I am based in the UK. There is not AT&T in this country.
The phone will be factory unlocked by Apple when I get it
