If you’ve been waiting for the unlocked version of iPhone X, we have some good news for you. Apple has now started selling an unlocked, SIM-free model of the iPhone X. The unlocked iPhone X is available through its website, Apple Store app, and retail locations.

That being said, the unlocked version of the handset starts at $999. It was previously only available through Verizon or Best Buy. The electronics retailer was charging an extra $100 over the iPhone X price until consumer backlash pushed the retailer to pull the offer entirely.

If you’re looking to order the iPhone X from Apple’s website, you’ll have the option to buy either a GSM or CDMA version of the phone. They will work on AT&T and T-Mobile or Verizon and Sprint. The new option to purchase the unlocked version of the iPhone X allows you to take the phone to whichever carrier you like, but keep in mind which model you buy.

SIM-free version smartphones offer you the flexibility to choose whatever carrier you want to go with, and switch between carriers without having to worry about anything else like contract. Pick up your SIM-free iPhone X today, if you’re willing to pay $999 or more.
