[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1628026, member: 46727"] I have an iPhone 5C (T-Mobile). When you purchase an iPhone at an Apple Store you have a choice of 4 carriers: AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile. Only the T-Mobile phone is sold without a contract. (That might have changed with Sprint.) When I say T-Mobile phone, there's nothing about the phone that's marked or locked to T-Mobile. The phone is sold at the Apple Store with a T-Mobile sim card already installed. When I picked up my phone at the Apple Store, I took it to a T-Mobile store near my home where they activated it for me and switched my number from my old T-Mobile phone to the new iPhone. It took about 10 minutes for them to do that. If you buy a T-Mobile iPhone on line from Apple it will come equipped with a T-Mobile sim card already installed. The phone is not locked and that T-Mobile sim card can be removed with a paper clip and a sim card from AT&T inserted instead. (If you so desire.) However, which ever sim card is installed, it has to be activated by the carrier. I chose T-Mobile because the monthly cost is the least expensive. I have unlimited Talk and Text for 2 lines and 3 GB of data (which I never use) for $74.00 per month. You do need to determine how good coverage is in your area before deciding on a carrier. T-Mobile coverage is very good here in the Dallas - Fort Worth area. [/QUOTE]
