T Mobile Iphone 5s Unlock Service

There's a lot of inaccuracy and rumors swirling around these forums with conflicting views on the locked and unlocked status of iPhone 5s linked to carriers. Here is a bombshell I found out today and completely flabbergasted. How Do I Get My Phone Unlocked From At&t. It appears what Apple is calling the 'T-Mobile contract-free' iPhone 5s is actually locked to T-Mobile, and needs to be unlocked by T-Mobile. The wording of the text has been changed too, before it said 'unlocked', now the ad on Apple.com just says contract-free with no mention of the T-Mobile variant being unlocked.

Apple said I had to call T-Mobile to get it unlocked. Izotope Keygen Mac. I escalated with higher-ups at the Apple store as well as T-Mobile, in person and on the phone, and the answer from T-Mobile is even if the phone is bought full-priced, it is locked to T-Mobile, and can be unlocked only under certain conditions (minimum 40 days owning device, minimum top up of 50 dollars on prepaid) Apple also said the T-Mobile iPhone 5s bought in the Apple store would need a call to T-Mobile to be unlocked (DESPITE paying full-price!!) T-Mobile detailed their unlocking policy, saying 40 day minimum before unlock can be done, to deter people selling abroad. What right do they have to lock a phone that's been paid for in full?????? I was furious and arguing with T-Mobile and Apple employees and reps all day to get to the bottom of the situation, and the final answer seems to be it is locked.
