Looks like they give 18 month financing so that is a small downside as xfinity offers 24 month.   Any other downsides to buying it unlocked from Apple?      Don't you have to pay the full $699 upfront if you want to go that route?   I'm trying to figure out how to stick with a payment plan, but I'm a bit confused.  For example, since my current service is ATT, should I buy the ATT version on the payment plan and then switch?  Can I do that with the 11? Like my post says they offer 18 month financing.   I bought an iphone 8 thru Apple with their 24 month payment plan while using ATT and then switched to xfinity 2 months later. We had to get a cheap phone / sim from xfinity then just made sure it was unlocked from ATT and then put the xfinity sim in. Wife has used it for nearly 2 years with no complaints. not sure if she uses voicemail.  ... View more

Apple and the major carriers such as Verizon have applications that give you the ability to move your SIM from one phone to another, Xfinity Mobile and other MVNOs don’t have these tools.  I've read that in these forums but have brought 2 iphones over with no issue to replace the LG X Charge. ...
