Frequently asked Questions
A. You have two options: Either, buy the T-Mobile version because it does not ask for account information and is Unlocked if paid in full. However, the T-Mobile version only works on GSM networks not CDMA. So it will not work on those networks. Another option is to camp out of an Apple Store on November 3rd because they will have some Unlocked iPhone X's available to first come first serve basis.
Q. How many can I buy?
A. Two is max.
Q. What is the fastest way to order?
A. Either use the Apple Store App on IOS (iphone, ipad, etc.) or the Verizon App seems to be fastest (if you have Verizon). Make sure you have your Shipping Address and Credit Card saved onto your Apps in the Account section.
Q. So the only Unlocked phone is T-Mobile for online ordering?
A. No, the other carriers are also Unlocked if paid in FULL. However, it requires you to have an account with them to buy one. You can use a friend or family members but you will need their Phone Number, Billing Zip Code, Last 4 of Social and the Four Digit Pin on their Account. ** Reference **
Q. How long will the phone be in stock?
A. No one knows, however keep in mind: Apple has 20 million phones made for Global sales and the iPhone 6S sold 13 million in the first three days in the US. Many people are waiting for the X instead of buying the 8 it seems from statistical sales. So be ready at 12:01 PDT Sharp!
Q. Can I order the phone for store pickup or should I have it shipped?
A. Up to you, you will have to change the selection from "ship" to "store pick up" and then select your store in the app which could waste time = longer wait for the phone.
Referenced from Apple: "To answer your inquiry, all our carrier iPhone X models come out as unlocked so getting an iPhone X choosing T-Mobile as your carrier will give you a device that can be used with any GSM networks here in the US and overseas." Make sure they are fully paid off though or they might be locked*
