Brand new unlocked iPhone 5S for $500
« on: March 21, 2014, 11:43:23 AM »
Virgin is offering contract free, but locked 16 GB iPhone 5S for $385, an unlock costs $130. So for $385+$130=$515 you can get an unlocked iPhone 5S which is sold on eBay for $700

do you need to send them the phone or they unlock it remotely?

ETA: "and you do not need to send us your phone, as the unlock is performed 100% remotely"

From http://chronicunlocks.com/:

Unlock your Virgin Mobile iPhone for use with international carriers. Will not work on domestic GSM / USA carriers, only for use outside the USA, or Virgin Mobile while within the USA (you do not lose that ability).

I read on a different site, that Virgin Phones will work on Verizon (no unlock needed) however they will not work with Sprint

Is there any legit way to unlock for other US carriers as well?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.
