So.. you're saying I could buy one for £169 now and that's all I'd have to pay? What if I want to connect it to Itunes after the activating and unlocking etc.

That exactly I also wanted to ask.
Generally to make is easier for everyone:
Can i buy the phone for 169 pounds, unlock it and use it with iTunes without being in danger of paying any contract etc?
Thank you |

Daft question time. What if I buy the phone and stick my pay as you go 02 sim in. Will it work or does it still need to be unlocked??

Interesting topic. I'm not sure this is true though.
Go to the apple store, to buy the iphone do you not have to supply your details for your O2 contract? Do they not activate your account then?
Has anyone gone and bought a iphone through this method and just not registered it with O2 and unlocked it and not started the contract?
Thanks for any replies. |

yes, I did it on Friday from cpw. they ask your details but its just for the receipt. I paid the £169 brought the iphone home and used ziphone to jailbreak and unlock and that all there is to it. Its the same if you buy from o2 or the apple store

Thats how I did it too, however now nobody wants to buy them! Cash Convertors and CEX won't touch them and their going for f-all on ebay, so I'm taking them back, unlocked and everything 
My opinions on this forum are that of my own and not of the company I work for. |

No you will not have to unlock it as you will be using the same network it is locked to, but it will need activating and jailbreaking. |

Hello
Can someone from London tell me if the information I had today morning that iphone is out of stock on almost all cpw stores is correct??
I have sent money to my cousin to buy it for me but I am afraid I won't be lucky!!! |

Just had a quick look on eBay, why are people still paying £200+ for 8GB iPhones, and that's just those that are due to finish in the next 45 mins. One person has bid £250 in the last half hour for an auction finishing at 1pm today.

I guess either they are not aware of the price cut, or are not techie enough to do the unlocking etc themselves and are prepared to pay the extra for someone else to do it

I had mine on t-mob originally. you just need to enter the standard t-mobile PAN of general.t-mobile.uk into the EDGE settings and you're away
btw, if you put an o2 sim card in you don't get access to that field and it works rights away
also, itunes only works with a wifi connection regardless of what sim you put in

Hi all,
this sounds to good to be true !!! O2 must come after you at somepoint ! you have to use a debit card to buy the iphone so they have your details and must have a time set time to register it on the network and then if its not been done......come after you!?
i really want it to be this easy. so someone please, tell me so !!!!
Cheers

lol, no they can't come after you, they don't really loose any money on them as such, but Apple do
