Alright, I'm thinking about upgrading to the new iPhone SE...

I'm currently using the 1st Gen iPhone SE with Tracfone as my carrier. If I go with the upgrade, I could choose from AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile or go SIM-Free and stick with Tracfone.

Apparently, the price of the phone is no different. If I were to choose AT&T, the phone would be locked to AT&T and I'd have to go through them. That doesn't apply any other way, because Apple will send me an unlocked phone.

I really have no idea what's the best choice. Based on y'all's experiences out there, who has the best service and experience?

My husband chose it and we've been happy with it. I don't know what his reasons were.

Free to use any sim and not stuck with my carrier. Also got an extra year on warranty. Seems you are perry much stuck with the carrier you bought it at unless you buy an open one.

I was trying to get FaceTime set up on her phone and it was impossible with the swipe up.

phone . I think the SIM was 35 $ from T-Mobile extra

Grad present in the house already ordered for my high school 2020 senior -new IPhone Se
I would not buy the more expensive ones until 5G established with an Apple phone out and they are happy with the new Se
I’m good for now and T-Mobile the best . See if you qualify for any deal or plan you might fit into Ask
