IPhone 4s - Verizon, Sprint or ATT - Which to import ?

[nikhilpoddar]

Hi guys,

I m planning to import iPhone 4s 64gb from USA for my cousin. But i m confused as to which brand shall i import- Verizon, Sprint or ATT

I don't know if these brands are unlockable and if its possible to use in india on gsm network (including 3g).

Please suggest which one would be best.

Buy Unlocked iPhone 4s from Apple store !!

Att seems to sell unlocked, out of contract phones from there stores. Afaik, verizon and sprint do not sell unlocked phones over the counter. So , buying unlocked iPhone from apple store is your best option !!

But the price difference is huge btw unlocked and locked version. Can't these phones be unlocked just like android phones ??

how much ? locked phones are under contract. You need to pay for 24 months or so.

i can get the iphone (verizon - locked) 64gb for 40K while in india i think it sells for 50K.

Whats the point of buying a locked phone unless its substantially cheap...?
