Can I get AT&T cell iphones without contract?


Hello everybody. I am from Washington DC and as you all know that in whole America there are contract service for cell phone provider. But due to this policy, cell phone service providers are doing whatever they want they make their policies according to their wish. This is not a right thing. I am having an AT&T cell iphone but that also is in contract. So, I want to know whether I can use AT&T cell iphone without contract? It is the best cell phones service provider in whole America?

Hi everybody, as we all know that mobile phone is a very important part in our life. We can compensate any other thing in our life, but cell phone is a must. Mobile phones are getting cheaper, so are their connections. One is prepaid and the other is postpaid connection. There are varieties of mobile phones now in market, and these days there is a huge craze in youth are of iphones.

In America, one such service provider is AT&T. They have launched new iphones with their own connections. Its also called iphones with contract. Its like u have AT&Tcell phone so you have to have same service provider. This is creating problems in people. You want to use this mobile, but you cant use it with any other operator. It clearly states on the box that the device is locked to AT&T. And a message "Invalid SIM" shows whenever you place any other sim.

It clearly indicates that all US sold GSM iPhones are locked to AT&T. All CDMA iPhones are locked to Verizon. Neither AT&T or Apple will unlock US sold iPhones. There's only one way that return it and get your money back or find an unofficial method to unlock the device.The iPhone box, customer service summary, customer service agreement all indicate that the phone is locked to AT&T and requires AT&T service.

So, now its clear that you can't use AT&T cell iPhone without contract. You have to have the same service provider.
