#2 Post at 6-5-2011 09:14  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L iPhones in uk tend to be locked to the network it's sold with. So if you buy an iPhone 4 with a vodaphone prepaid sim or contract sim it would only work with a uk vodaphone sim in, unless you jail break it. When they say it can be used internationally I think it just means the sims they are sold with can be used internationally at an extortionate rate. Saying this however yu may be able to buy sim free iPhones but I've never seen these in shops here. I'm no expert, these are just observations I've made as pretty much every1 I know owns an iPhone.

#4 Post at 7-5-2011 06:14  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L I heard on another forum that Orange would unlock your phone for a fee, but when I spoke to them about upgrading to an iphone 4 and having it unlocked, the person I spoke to was adamant that they don't do the unlocking, suggesting I take the phone to a 3rd party. You could try somewhere like Phones4U, who claimed that all the phones they sell are unlocked, but I haven't got round to asking them about the iphone yet.

If you buy your iPhone4 in Asia you should be O.K., but you will pay a very high price for the equipment. I didn't do it.  Really I didn't. The Butler
