So, it seems like it's very possible to buy a cell phone from outside the carrier store, but it seems like it could be (a bit) complicated.
Are most phones automatically unlocked so that the carrier store can just add the service phone plan on it?
If the phones are not automatically unlocked, is it easy enough for the carrier store to service the phone (for a small fee) in order to start your/continue your plan on a new phone?
What thing(s) I need to look up to make sure a new phone is compatible with the one I currently have?
I currently have an iPhone 7 Plus.
Thank you.
