is this phone owned by T-Mobile and why the price is lower than the other Iphone 5s?

This phone is Tmobile locked and will only work with Tmobile service and that's just what we're listing the item at.

Mine was set up for AT&T.; It was ready for an upgrade and runs IOS7. It did not come with some of the features of the iphone 5 such as ring tones which can now be added. This phone came to me in excellent condition and has been running well so far. I especially love the space to stretch out and keep more things in one place.

I'm not sure it was purchased through t mobile and I have not done any changes to it. So unless t mobile comes unlocked then I guess it's not.

Yes! Love the phone. And I'm with T-Mobile on the $30/mo pre-pay plan (no taxes or fees added): unlimited texting, 5 GB data, and 100 mins. You have to call them to get this deal. No matter what plan you get you will need to get the SIM Starter Kit $10, but when I called them they waived the $10 for me. Enjoy your phone!

I don't know, but T-Mobile is offering unofficial good deals for someone who is thinking of cancelling. Give T-Mobile a call and check. If you know the provider you are planning to sign up with, I suggest tossing the question to its customer service.Sorry I can't be of specific help.

This is a Unlocked iPhone 5c. Which means it will work for T-Mobile and AT&T; as well as other GSM networks around the world.Once you receive your phone, please insert your T-mobile SIM card that has data service so you may activate your iPhone with Apple. Please make sure you have the correct sim-card size in order to use it with the iphone.

R -- did you end up buying it? I have a gold iPhone 5S and am wondering the same thing.

I don't know if you are still interested in the phone, but T-Mobile sells the Nokia C7 - or how they call it Nokia Astound - for $79 on a 2 year contract. On top of that, you will have US warranty on the product, which is a major advantage compared to when you buy this unlocked version (NO US warranty) from Amazon.

Newegg has the same phone, known as the "Huawei IDEOS U8150". The only difference is that no telco touched it, so it doesn't have a T-mobile sticker, or any form of carrier lockout. After you lose the T-Mobile subsidy, the price comes out to $8 less. Strange things happening in the cell market, nowadays. Edit: found out why - it was a SECRET refurb! Newegg never said so on their listing, sneaky guys.

Just found out from T mobile-The 9.99 deal is for existing customers, and it requires 2 year contract. Sort of defeat the purpose of buying an unlock phone.

Those phones are being sold directly by the manufacturer on eBay, hence the lower price.

This Phone is used but very good conditions, it has lots of scratches/nicks around the frame and back and some light one on the screen. It is fully tested working conditions, T-mobile Unlocked for all GSM carriers ( not for Verizon, Sprint, metro etc). Comes with Battery + charger+ Data cable + battery door.

I bought this phone in used condition from Amazon Warehouse back in 2012. They said it was unlocked but it wasn't! I had to unlock it all by myself and the phone keeps having bugs and has a really poor battery life. Ps. You can't update to IOS 7 as well, so you won't be able to install a lot of apps.

I bought an IPhone 5s from a seller off amazon and the seller never shipped it. I had to file a claim and get my money back. So, I do not currently own an iPhone 5s, nor am I selling one. Sorry.
