Can I unlock Iphone 5 if I bought it with no contract?

It has been reported that “IF” you can get the salesman at the Apple Store to sell you an IPhone 5 with no contract, they are already unlocked. Some stores will only sell them as upgrades or new service.

That would make sense as I bought my iPhone 5 as “Device Only” from an Apple store. I used it for a day, then I felt like doing a restore on it, so after the restore was done on iTunes, I received the Message that my iPhone was now unlocked. I wondered what was going on as old phone was an iPhone 4S that was Unlocked by AT&T a couple of months ago. I went ahead and placed another request using AT&T’s unlocking site. So I will see what happens next.

Just got off the phone with AT&T, and Yes, It is UNLOCKED! Good info to know. Buy it off contract and then restore.
Cheers!

Hi! Thanks for your feedback!
So if I get you right, you just need to pop in an AT&T store (pray for them to have the one you want in stock), and buy one “no-commitment” at $649?
I believed you had to take a contract, even a month-to-month one, to get your hands on an iPhone 5. I was about to get one with a $69.99 plan for one month, but the thing that bothered me was the activation fee…
