[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1536815, member: 46727"] No, you're right. What they say is that the iPhone 5S for T-Mobile will come already equipped with a nano sim card installed. However, if you buy an unlocked 5S it can only be used unlocked with T-Mobile since they're the only carrier who currently do not require a contract. I believe but am not 100% on this... is if you buy an unlocked iPhone 5S and decide to go with AT&T or Verizon (not sure about Sprint) it will lock to their network when activated. I don't know if any of the above applies to the 5C as Apple doesn't really say anything about it on their store site. We'll find out more on September 20th when the 5S and C are released for sale. Edit and update..... Looks like an unlocked version of the 5C is also now available from the on line Apple store for $549.00 (16 GB) and will be available on September 20th. However, the same applies to the unlocked version: Use with T-Mobile as there is no contract required. The other three carriers all require a contract so it can be assumed those phones will ship locked. [/QUOTE]
