How to Buy Factory-Unlocked Contract-Free iPhone X in the United States?

Updated on May 9, 2018 by Tuan Do

The Apple iPhone X is hitting stores around the world in November. Despite the fact that this is the most expensive iPhone ever, many consumers are ready to pay the full price from $999 to $1,149 for it.

However, remember that there are some different models of the iPhone X and some won’t be fully compatible with your carrier. So, you should check all the info carefully before placing the order. The safest option is to buy a factory-unlocked iPhone X so that you can switch carriers easily and use overseas without any limitation. The most comprehensive iPhone X model is A1865 and we’re going to show you how to buy it.

Order Online

The quickest way to buy an unlocked iPhone X is placing an order on Apple’s website. The SIM-free version has been available on Apple Store starting December 2017 and you can activate it with any carrier worldwide.

Besides, the A1865 model is available via Sprint and Verizon; Previously, you couldn’t buy it without an active contract/account with the carriers. You would have to provide info like wireless number, billing zip code, and SSN even when you agree to pay full price. If you have a contract, all of the iPhones are unlocked, including the ones from Apple iPhone upgrade program and Apple iPhone installments. The good news is that Apple no longer requires carrier activation before making the purchase. We now have an option to skip carrier activation. After receiving the iPhone X, you can insert an active SIM card and use it as an unlocked phone.

Don’t buy the AT&T or T-Mobile versions because they don’t have CDMA networks, so it won’t have good coverage when you switch to Sprint or Verizon. Having said that, the model is perfect if you just use it with GSM carriers.

Remember that you should buy directly from Apple only. All iPhone X purchased from Bestbuy, T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon will come locked for at least a few months. For instance, you will have to wait 40 days to unlock T-Mobile phones, 50 days for Sprint, and 60 days for AT&T.

Verizon phones used to be unlocked even when you didn’t use their service. However, that’s no longer the case as they started locking phones since early 2018. The decision was made to combat phone theft; Verizon phones were attractive as they can be resold on the black market and used with different carriers.

Walk into Apple Store

Apart from the online store, you actually can buy unlocked iPhone X at a physical Apple Store. You can just walk into a store and ask to pay full price for an unlocked iPhone. They will bring you a sealed iPhone without the need of verifying an active account on one of those carriers.

So, how do you manage to buy an unlocked contract-free iPhone X? Share with us in a comment below.

Hi, I’m from India. Most of the networks in India are GSM. I’m planning to buy in USA which carrier should i need to buy? Which is the best intel or Qualcomm modems? I’m gonna use GSM Network only

you can get one of every 4 carriers since those 4 all support GSM

Actually, 2 are GSM and 2 are CDMA.

All of the carriers will support GSM. However, not all of them will support CDMA. Since, you will be using GSM, you have the option for buying all of the carriers. But AT&T and t-mobile will show vest coverage for GSM.

Pravin N Kothari says

Is there iphone X with dual sim card feature – to support both GSM and CDMA?

buy the model#A1865 will be best to use in all countries.

This is not very clear. It happens that I’ll be in Florida from the 30th of October till the 11th of November, I was planning to purchase an unlocked SIM-free iPhone X, but after reading this article I have less than zero idea how to do that.

I realize that most likely the unlocked SIM-free won’t be available to purchase in the time that I’m there and I honestly can’t understand how I can place an order for a contract one… and the contract? Can I cancel it? Will the iPhone work abroad?

iPhone works abroad and will be unlocked forever unless you purchase the phone with US carrier payment plans. if you pay full price then no problem at all.

You must have an active account with a carrier (except T Mobile) regardless of payment option.

There are private suppliers who have factory unlocked, sim-free iPhone x on offer. Leave message for me, if you would like one.

I have a T Mobile account, but may want to go back to Verizon in the future. I am very interested in the sim free iPhone X, Space Gray, and 256G. I am willing to pay full price without any installment payment or upgrade program.

Amith Varma says

Buy in a apple store that’s only way to buy a unlocked phone without having to have an account with a specific carrier

you can still buy an at&t version example, and then unlock it via third party service

Jack Simms says

The article does not fulfill its stated purpose, in that it does not answer the question of how to purchase the iPhone X contract free. Yes, you can purchase it at the Apple Store and name a carrier, and know that even though its under “contract” it is unlocked because you paid full price at Apple, but it DOES have a contract.

It actually did answer it if you pay attention. You can only order it via Verizon.

false, Verizon requires a contract.

Julio Rodas says

I live in Colombia and I had to search which is the iPhone enabled to work here. It turned out that it’s model A1901. After knowing that, in this site I found that the carriers that come with this model are AT&T and T-Mobile. To buy an iPhone selecting AT&T they ask you for the wireless number and last 4 digits of social security number. To buy an iPhone with T-Mobile they don’t require any kind of information. So, I’m just waiting for 27th october to buy iPhone X with T-Mobile 😀 I hope this information is useful for anybody

Hey, have you find any solution?, I want to buy the iphone x in miami but i want to be sure it gonna work with Movistar Colombia (last year i bought the iphone 7 but was locked for carrier)

Te funcionó? Busco el mismo para movistar colombia.
