Fish-Finger-er Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) yea you can buy it on at&t pre pay(but i think you have to fail the credit check before they will let you do it, you cant just buy it, they want you to buy it with a contract but will let you buy it on pay as you go over there if you really want too). its $499. Sir Joe Rothwell said it wouldnt work on uk networks, but theres unlocking programs on the net to allow this,however it may lock your iphone up if you go to update it. personally i wouldnt bother with the hassle(i looked into it) but if your going to do it, your best of getting one from america, as opposed to buyin one from the uk and not setting the contract up(due to the fact that theres no international imei database(in theory 02 could block your imei number if you bought one for £269 from the apple store, and then didnt set the contract up when you got home, at&t couldnt do that as theres not an international database, (hence the reason stolen phones are quite often shipped between countries)))EDIT : edited for technical correctness.

sfboy Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 There are places selling them sim free where you can avoid all that hassle, but it's alot of money for a phonehttp://www.software4udirect.com/index.php?...uct_id=38032642 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) Hey Guy's....I have an Iphone.....So here is the voice of Knowlege !Your Iphone will be completly functional once it has been activated at Apple.com To activate your phone you need to punch in a code you get when purchasing the phone....The code is specific to the Batch and Item number of the phone, and must be done withing 7 days of purchase....So you can't fake an activation code !The only thing that O2 offer is the use of there "Hotspots" for there Wifi and Internet anywhere....Basicly, yes youo can buy an unlocked version 1.2 Iphone and use Pay as you go...But the Internet will only work withing the area of a Wireless Router...Wich is why O2 have the uk Franchise for Iphones....Becouse they offer the best Wireless internet coverage.So you might aswell buy a cheap phone and an ipod !!!!JarrodEdit..Best just add you need to be on an O2 contract or pay alot of Pay as you Go to use Hotspot Wifi....But ultimatly Iphones are amazing ! Make sure you can full insurance though, we all know what apple are like ! Edited December 3, 2007 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
