Buying unlocked phones for use on tmobile network

I want to buy a new phone,  I was going to purchase one from tmobile, but I will not purchase anything from tmobile due to them lying to me and their  bait and switch policy 

 

Where is the best place to buy an unlocked phone for use on tmobile network.

 

I also just convinced another person, who was going  to purchase their new phone   from tmobile to purchase it else where. 

 

 

 

 

  • What type of phone?

    If it's an iPhone buy the unlocked version from Apple, don't buy it anywhere else.

    Android I suggest buying the unlocked version from the manufacturer as well.

    The Pixel line actually unlocks after 40 days of use on the Tmobile network even if you still owe money on it.

    For a used phone try Swappa.

  • and make sure its TMO VoLTE capable. if not they wont allow it onto their network anymore since they’ll be shutting down 3G here before to long. if the phone cant use the same VoLTE TMO uses then it wont be able to make calls.
