Is it possible to buy a Verizon iPhone 6 and then take it to T-Mobile?I'm thinking of purchasing with Verizon subsidized. Then take it to T-Mobile since they will pay my ETF with Verizon.I see this as a win-win.Thanks!

The Verizon iPhone 6 is unlocked and will work on the T-mobile network with no compromise.

Its always good to defraud the carrier. I am surprised no one else thought of that little gimmick.Yeah good luck on that scheme. Verizon will more than likely have or place a block on the device from being activated on T-Mobile.Then you spend full price on T-Mobile to get service from them.lets see $800 iPhone you get it for $200 and then leave so then its a $350 termination fee owed to Verizon.so its $550 you paid total.saved $250 with the scheme.then you go to T-Mobile and you cannot get service. so you buy new phone $800 plus tax and activation fees of $38 and sim kit $10 so lets round it out to $900Yep you saved a load of money on this scheme.Good Luck

Actually no compromises with iPhone 6. Even T-mobile's iPhone 6 does not support band 12. Verizon uses bands 4 and 13 as you point out.T-mobile uses bands 2 and 4 and roaming on 5. It will use band 12 in future (spectrum obtained from Verizon)The Verizon iPhone 6 supports 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29So the iPhone 6 supports all the bands in current use. There is no compromise. As far as band 12, even the T-mobile iPhone does not support band 12, so again no compromise. I did not make a comment on the ethics of the deal, just answered the question posed.

I also need to try T-Mobile but with additional questions:Just got off phone with Verizon Tech rep with "marginal signal strength" issues and was given 2 options:1. Purchase network extender for $1752. Switch to other carrier with NO ETFWant to take option 2 as I am not going to pay additional $175 to get lousy 3G service in my house. But, they (Verizon) are not giving anything in writing to say they are offering the option 2. They said I just have to believe their word and call back after receiving my final bill with the ETF which they will waive/credit... Did anyone go through this? Would my phones be unlocked also in this case???

The iPhone 6 and 6+ and the Nexus 6 are truly universal phones. As long as they are carrier unlocked, they can be used on any network.this is not true of previous versions of these phones.

The Verizon iPhone 5 will work on T-mobile and AT&T. It does not support as many LTE bands, so you may not get LTE, but it does supports the 4G HSPA+, so speed will still be very acceptable.

Good luck what ever you decide.

I Don't know if he's a scammer or not. I do know that Verizon isn't stupid enough to let a customer walk away without paying ETFs unless they are close to end of contract anyway.

Actually, I find it hard to believe there is a place where t- Mobile gets better service than Verizon.
