AT&T sucks balls. I paid my phone off in full and had to wait 2 days to unlock it. I paid cash at the store so it’s not like they had to wait for my credit card to process. That was so I could add Verizon onto my phone because I’m a truck driver and need the extra coverage.

My concern is not only that but that if it does get unlocked, that it won’t work for carriers outside of the US. Read a lot of similar cases regarding that issue.

You need to look up the technical specs for each model and make sure it works on the bands in your country. For example the 14 Pro Max has two models, A2650 and A2651. You can buy an unlocked phone directly from Apple and then go get a SIM card from a carrier. The carrier never needs to touch your phone. Just get a plan without a contract.

Thank you. So if I got added to a family plan as an additional line, that is not considered a contract right? Because that line can be cancelled at any time

Either model will work fine everywhere. It just won’t have full frequency support, but the vast majority of user will never notice.
