Hello,

is it possible to make a contact for a non US customer...

I know it is realy crazy ...

Use the iphone with the At&t sim with roaming in germany...
 
you'd need a US billing address/credit card and social security number.

I hope...

billing address / ss number must not the same like the credit card...

so i can use my credit card and perhaps i find someone in US which will help me...
 
umm...nobody in america would, in their right mind, give some german stranger their billing address and social security number....and anybody that will is guaranteed not to have good enough credit to pass the credit check...

...it is so hard for me...

Perhaps have somebody an idea for me - which i can get a iphone..
 
LOL. Good luck. It's locked to AT&T unless activated and an unlock code is requested... which there's no telling if AT&T will be releasing them.

Even if they do release the unlock codes, we don't know if there is an accessible SIM tray, much less if they will release the code for an unactivated phone... and if you want to activate, you'll need to pass a credit check and/or pay a deposit. Most providers charge an $800-1000 deposit for people without a real SSN, if they even let you sign a contract. Depends on the company.
 
the credit check is done by your SSN, which you don't have, so you couldn't do a credit check. unless you have a relative in the US willing to get you one and sign up for the contract, you can't get one until they show up on eBay and someone figures out how to unlock them.
