Just listening to the start of this weeks podcast and I just wanted to mention that the iPhone in the UK can be purchased ‘legally’ unlocked, by that I mean that you can walk into an Apple store and by an iPhone and use it with any network.
It was about just over a year ago when the Carriers increased and the previous sole carrier then charged a small amount to unlock your iPhone.
I have purchased 2 iPhone 3G’s for my daughters both second hand both totally unlocked, an i am looking at buying an iPhone 4 for myself, and I would certainly not get a device that was locked to a carrier.
But normally the device is locked to carriers in most other countries I believe.
Keep up the good work.
Gaz.
Gaz, thanks for the comments and the encouragement. I had forgotten about that, although I know that I had heard about it on at least one podcast. This whole idea of locking a device to a carrier kind of galls me. I look at it the same as the limited options in any given area for internet providers and telephone service, although we haven’t had a landline in probably 8 years.
What does it cost to get an unlocked iPhone vs a carrier locked one?
