Yeah just make sure you purchase the unlocked version of the phone and you sb good to go then. They're usually like $20 more expensive than the carrier locked phones.
Apple charges the exact same price for a carrier locked one as a carrier unlocked one.
Since I already have T-Mobile, should I select that when purchasing, or is no carrier fine?
No carrier is what you want. If you aren’t financing you should never opt for the carrier locked version.
If you’re buying it from Apple it isn’t carrier locked. The carrier options on their page just help get your sim ported over or something. They explain this on the site, the only time it’s carrier locked is if you do the AT&T installment plan.

Understood, thanks.
Don't.
Never choose any carrier. Don't want unexpected shenanigans. Just set up when you get the phone, its the same.
Understood, thanks!
Oh nice. Good deal!
