A certain fish has a lock. The US version of the iPhone is used in the US

by Poster Mar 7, 2025 62
As mentioned in the title, my younger brother 25fall is going to usa to study for a PhD, and he is thinking of buying a locked American version of iPhone from a certain fish/treasure merchant. The merchant said that there are various carrier versions such as T, XF, V, ATT, and SPE. It feels cheaper than buying it in US, and it costs less than 6k for a lock 16pro. But what I am more worried about is whether there is any problem with using the iPhone of this channel in usa? For example: 1. Forced to spend high consumption by the operator to meet the contract conditions? 2. Does it affect credit reporting? 3. Forced to lock the machine by the operator? Thank you guys in advance for your answer!!! P.S. Which operator is the fastest to unlock?

    @ Poster You go to the United States and get a few more 13, 14, se, etc., then go to the Apple Store to deduct it and change it to 16pro

    Two words: Don't buy it. It's cheap here in the United States.

    Many operators in the United States (Total Wireless, Straight Talk, etc.) buy a SIM package and get a mobile phone directly, which is very cheap. Since you are studying in the United States, unlocking it has no impact. A certain book searches many tutorials.

    It's terribly cheap in the United States, and old users can make up a little money every year for new mobile phones.

    It doesn't feel like OP is very smart... Let's think about why these regular and locked machines selling the American version are cheap (I don't feel very smart, so I'd better explain it clearly. It's not that there are pitfalls, frauds, faults and problems)

    Better buy it locally

    @ Anonymous1067 Can the 16e you mentioned for 299 dollars be bought online?
  • Anonymous1067 Mar 8, 2025
    @ Anonymous8589 is online, you can search on Xiaohongshu

    @ Anonymous1067 I mean, can this thing be bought overseas and returned to China?

    In the United States, you get a mobile phone when you access the Internet. I don't know how much cheaper you can get when you access the Internet with your mobile phone... Maybe it's not cheap. Hahaha

    @ Anonymous8589 Yes, many people bought it and returned to China. I actually want to buy it, but it's a pity that there is no card slot. What a pity
  • Anonymous8589 Mar 8, 2025
    @ Anonymous1067 Yes, yes, the US version doesn't have a single card slot, which is so difficult

    @ Anonymous1067 Brother, I looked at it. The 299 you mentioned has three problems that cannot be solved. 1. No matter whether the ladder is opened or not, it prompts access denied and the website cannot be opened. The same is true for straight talk and total. I changed N Multiple IPs will not work. 2. It must be activated in the United States before it can be used, otherwise it will not be unlocked for you. 3. This machine may not be unlocked for you after 2 months, because it says that you have to use it for 12 months. The first month is 65 knives, and the latter is about 25 knives, which is equivalent to 30 * 12 knives. That is, 360 knives, plus 299 for the machine, after deducting some expenses, it will cost about 600 knives. If you can find someone to help you activate and send it back, there will be a tax and fee. Let's count it as 0. The 600 knives have already reached 4300RMB, which is no longer very cost-effective. It is better to buy the Japanese version and find Renren to carry it back. It can also be directly unlocked

    @ Anonymous1067 Regarding the activation issue, if you really have no friends in the United States, this road is directly blocked, and you can't do it at all
  • Anonymous1067 Mar 8, 2025
    @ Anonymous8589 official website can activate the package. You don't need to be in the United States. Just buy a one-month package and send a text message. It will be automatically unlocked after two months. Before, this operator had 13 activities on Black Friday, and it seems that there are still others now. It has been successfully unlocked in China. Yes, you can't open the website and change the US IP, try to find the US wide, I can open it without any problem

    @ Anonymous1067 Damn it, they should have hung up on their official website just now, and now I can open it casually.
  • Anonymous8589 Mar 8, 2025
    @ Anonymous1067 I watched it on Xiaohongshu for another 20 minutes, and I was sure that I had to send a text message to activate it in the United States before I could bring it back, don't think about it

    @ Anonymous1067 If you are not trying to save this money, a V friend just recommended a salted fish shop, 8150 16pm 256, which is already very cheap

    @ Anonymous5743 # 7 Those who are blacklisted for stealing are usually contracted by the contract machine. This does not affect the warranty

    @ Anonymous8589 official website activates the package, and then Wi-Fi calling, https://t.me/DocOfCard/2292
