Again, your info is bad. The contract-free phones are unlocked. In fact, in two weeks I will be in the ME with my friend and can call you from one of the phones if you like.
Even Apple’s own site confirms this—don’t take my word for it:
That policy may change as the official China rollout gets closer and the lines of real end-using buyers drop toward normal. Apple may start offering unlocked iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in the retail stores for use on secondary networks but not now. Until then, order through store.apple.com. One saving grace though, the demand for unlocked iPhones will be lower than for specific carrier iphones, so most likely the wait will be shorter.
By the way, Dino, be careful over there.
You must buy it designating T-Mobile as your carrier. They require 40 days of service, again per USA Today, at which time you may remove their SIM card, they will unlock the phone, and you can then put in whichever carrier's SIM card you like. . . So long as the radio is compatible with that carriers assigned bands. Most likely it will as the iPhone 6 is compatible with 27 systems and bandwidths. But, Dino, there is no way, since the release of the iPhone 6 to walkout with an unlocked one. You can only buy an unlocked iPhone 5s or 4s directly from Apple at this time.
This means your friend did not buy a pair of iPhone 6es to take back to Jeddah, as I told you in the first place.
