Buy iPhone 3G Unlocked
by Antonio B.
Have you ever wondered if there's a place where you can buy
an unlocked iPhone 3G without having to worry about legal
impediments? That place actually exists. In Hong Kong,
buying unlocked cell phones is perfectly normal. In fact,
they don't do it any other way. There, when you buy a phone,
it's not locked to any carrier. Instead, you pick a carrier
to connect to yourself.
Unlocked cellphone
The principle behind an unlocked iPhone 3G is very simple.
When any cell phone is locked, it will allow you to insert
only one kind of SIM card ? the one affiliated with the
carrier with which the phone is linked to. Therefore, a
locked cell phone can only be used in that particular
carrier's network. When you buy an unlocked iPhone 3G, you
will be able to use that phone in practically any network.
In the US for example, if you buy your iPhone 3G from AT&T,
then you can only insert an AT&T SIM in it. i.e., you can
only use your iPhone 3G on the AT&T network. An unlocked
iPhone 3G on the other hand, would enable you to use it with
any SIM and hence, on any network.
Within the law
In Hong Kong, where you can find a vast collection of cell
phones, the phones that you buy are unlocked by default. Say
that again? No really, if you buy an iPhone 3G in Hong Kong,
you'd be able to use it on any network. Now, we're not
talking about bootleg versions. On the contrary, Apple
itself has released unlocked iPhone 3G phones there.
The catch
There's one caveat though, the price of an unlocked 3G
iPhone is relatively higher there than if you bought one in
the US. The reason is because, in the US, carriers like AT&T
subsidize the cost of the phone in exchange for locking the
subscriber into their network.
How to buy an unlocked iPhone 3G
When you buy an unlocked 3G iPhone at a relatively higher
price, you're actually paying for the cost of freedom; the
freedom to choose your own phone and the freedom to select
your preferred network. - 15668
