[Electronics-Talk] iPhone SE

[David Waybright]

FYI any iPhone se you’re buying for $200 or less is a locked iPhone se. Unless you go to Apple store and buy a unlocked se for $349 or more you won’t have a unlocked iPhone. As for unlocking the iPhone you have to go to the original carrier it was with and follow their unlock policy which normally requires you to have the phone on a line of service on that carrier for a certain period of time basically for them to recoup the price of the phone. Once you fulfill their policy it’s just a free phone call or a website form fill out away from a unlock with that carrier. Now if you haven’t fulfilled the carriers policy there is only one other way to unlock iPhones by going to unlock websites on the internet but I highly suggest not doing this, it’s not for the uninformed. There would be several risks involved with such an endeavor. And before anyone tries, don’t attempt to get a tracfone brand iPhone unlocked except thru their valid unlock process. There is currently no way at all to unlock tracfone, straight talk, simple mobile, Walmart plan, and other tracfone brands! Any web site out there that says they can is lieing and trying to scam you!  I have done tons and tons of research into unlocked iPhones and the most legit ways to do it.

I got my se for $130 for straight talk from walmart. For this same phone, we
were told that for the prepaid on verizon it would be $199. Ron, did you get
yours under straight talk or verizon? Do you know if these phones are really
unlocked? If they're not unlocked, do you know what it would take to get it
unlocked? Anyway, this phone is truly and inexpensive way to learn the
I-PHONE.
