[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1848756, member: 46727"] I always purchase the SIM free version from Apple since that will work with any carrier. For example if you are currently with AT&T and decide to switch carriers to say T-Mobile, you may have to get an unlock from AT&T if you switch and use the same phone. Also, any phone you buy directly from a carrier (not Apple) may be locked to that carrier even if you pay outright for the phone. Each carrier is different with their lock-unlock policy, so it's always best to ask first. BTW, buying an iPhone in Canada is different. Canadian purchased phones are unlocked regardless of whether a person owes payments for the phone. A good policy that should be adapted in the US in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
