When you buy iPhone 4 on eBay, first of all you should pay attention on from what carrier is locked smartphone.

Until recently, you could buy iPhone 4 AT&T, and then unlock smartphone for $3 in special services. However, after the release iPhone 5s AT&T the price of unlock became more expensive.

Why unlock iPhone 4 AT&T has become more expensive? The exact answer does not exist. Some people say that it is related to the difficult economic situation in the United States, others think that the carrier agreed with the services for unlocking. In my opinion the most logical version is that many users have begun to buy locked iPhone 4, then unlock them just a couple of dollars and sell on Ebay. Therefore, AT&T decided to complicate the procedure of unlock.

However, let us return to our topic. From what carrier you need to buy iPhone 4, so it works in most countries of the world?

As the first models of iPhone 2G, 3G и 3GS are not so popular, we decided to consider iPhone 4.

From what carrier to buy iPhone 4 on eBay?

As I said before, it is not profitable to buy iPhone 4 AT&T on eBay for $170 and to pay as much for it to unlock. Therefore, we consider other options. Apple iPhone 4 Verizon is also not suitable because there is no slot for a SIM card. Thus, we do not need to buy any locked iPhone.

You will need to pay a lot of money to unlock iPhone 4 by IMEI. Methods like gevey, rsim, turbosim and others do not work with iPhone 4.

Do not buy: iPhone 4 verizon

Think before you buy: iPhone 4 AT&T

Buy: iPhone 4 factory unlock or neverlocked

Thus, the only good option is to buy unlock iPhone 4 on eBay.

Apple iPhone 6 became the best-selling smartphone. Users like the smartphone of its size, the amount of memory, colors and other.

We should note that iPhone 6 Plus is also popular, even despite the fact that Jobs says that the big smartphone uncomfortable and useless. The company took a chance and got success.

However, the price of the smartphone is quite high, so buyers started looking for where to buy cheap iPhone 6.

As you know, the price of iPhone 6 in the US are the cheapest. The basic version of the iPhone 6 with 16 GB of memory costs $ 199, the price of the model with 64 GB is $ 299, and the maximum version to 128 GB is estimated at $ 399. iPhone 6 Plus is even more expensive, starting at $ 299 for 16 GB version.

When someone finds such a low price, he quickly went to the US to buy a smartphone from US retailers.

However, not all so simple. Attractive price tags «official price» is a clever marketing trick.

In fact, each iPhone 6 tied up a contract with a particular mobile operators such as AT&T, Verizon and Sprint.

The problem is:

Everyone who buys a smartphone in the US operator, signed a two-year contract under which he is obliged to use only the services of the operator. It sounds good, if you live in the United States. However, if you leave the country, your phone will be locked (at least the next two years).

The second point that you should note that when using smartphones on the contract you’re really overpaying.

Therefore, if you ask local residents to buy your phone – most likely they will refuse.

So you can buy the iPhone 6 in the US stores only if you plan to stay there for the next couple of years.

The easiest and totally free way to unlock iPhone 6 is to wait until the end of the contract. But it is almost two years. It is clear that not everyone wants to wait so long.

So here are some ways to unlock iPhone 6.

How to unlock iPhone 6?

First of all, you should try to unlock iPhone 6 yourself. Contact the technical support to the operator who locked smartphone. Most often it is the US carrier AT&T. The operator may ask you for information about the contract and how much is left to the end. You can try to explain that the contract is lost, and iPhone 6 is locked, or you are in another country.

If the operator will meet you, then he will ask you for the device IMEI and your email address. If IMEI is okay operator will register your request and assign ID code. Next you need to wait for a letter to e-mail with instructions to unlock iPhone 6.

If the operator has rejected your request, you can try to repeat the procedure with another operator, suddenly you’re lucky with him. How long it will take – it is difficult to say. You should try.

If you do not want to carry out this procedure, call operator, etc, you can write in Google “unlock iphone 6″ and you will see a large number of services that will help you unlock iPhone 6.

Many services offer official unlock iPhone 6 without jailbreaking, Gevey Sim and similar dubious manipulations, which may make it impossible for the software update.

How much does the procedure cost? It depends on the operator, which is locked phone. For example, the most problematic and costly to unlock iPhone 6 from the US carrier Verizon.

We advise you not to choose the cheapest services and carefully read the customer reviews on the site, because if IMEI will be damaged, thus unlock iPhone 6 will be impossible.

When you contact a third-party company to unlock the smartphone, they will ask you IMEI, iPhone model and operator.  You only need to pay. After that unlocked iPhone 6 easily work in any country of the world. So it is better to contact the professionals, it is not so expensive.

Sprint announced a new plan for those who do not use a lot of data per month.

The plan called “Starter Unlimited Data” offers unlimited data, voice calls and text messages for $20 a month. After the customer uses a 1 GB of data, the speed is reduced to 2G.

It should be recalled that $20 a month data is added to US $20 a month for access to Sprint’s network means that the monthly cost for the wireless client plan would be US $40.

New Sprint plan “Starter Unlimited Data” is the cheapest among the four major US phone operators. In addition, differences with plans Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile in some respects can be significant.

For example, the main competitor of Sprint – T-Mobile – asks $50 a month for 1GB of high-speed data (reduced to 2G later) with voice calls, text messages and network access. But unlimited data does not provide access to some streaming music.

Meanwhile, AT&T charges $15 per 1GB, but costumer can buy only 2GB. So, for $30 the user receives unlimited AT&T with 2GB of high-speed data, voice and text messages. In addition to this amount, the client AT&T has to pay US $25 a month to access the network that carries the monthly price to US $55. The AT&T customer could pay US $45 a month, but only get 300MB of data.

The second largest US operator AT&T charges US $20 for each 300MB if you had 300MB plan and charges US $15 per 1GB in the other plans.

The largest operator in the country, Verizon, sells each gigabyte of data per US $30 and US $20 further charges by the telephone line. Then the price is similar to T-Mobile, but do not get streaming music. In addition, Verizon charges $10 a month per 1GB that you use on your fee.
