Common questions

Do you have the iPhone 18 Pro Max?

Yes, the iPhone 18 Pro Max is available unlocked. Stock changes often, so call (713) 339-9300 to confirm the color and storage you want.

Can I get an iPhone with bad credit?

You can apply. We offer leasing (lease-to-own) on unlocked iPhones — including the iPhone 18 Pro Max — and Samsung Galaxy phones with no credit needed, from $40 down. Bad credit isn't automatically a deal-breaker, though approval isn't guaranteed. Bring a valid photo ID; it takes a few minutes in store to find out.

Will an unlocked phone work with my carrier?

Unlocked phones work with any compatible carrier. We can set you up on Verizon Prepaid, AT&T Prepaid, T-Mobile, Metro, Cricket, Boost and more in store.

  • I needed a new phone so I searched on Facebook marketplace and I reached out to this company and they responded fast to my inquiry about a iPhone. The next day I came in and the finance process was easy and I left with my new iPhone. I'm super excited to use because it's unlocked.
