Apple has started selling unlocked iPhones in the United States as predicted.
All the features of iPhone 4 without a contract commitment. Use it on the supported GSM cellular network of your choice.
If you don’t want a multiyear service contract or if you prefer to use a local carrier when traveling abroad, the unlocked iPhone 4 is the best choice. It arrives without a micro-SIM card, so you’ll need an active micro-SIM card from any supported GSM carrier worldwide.
The 16GB version is available for $649. The 32GB version is $749.
I called to at&t Usa and asked me to unlock my Iphone 4 as i bought the Iphone without commitment. So ethically when they started selling unlocked phones in USA so they should unlock the old Iphone which were purchased earlier. it would help to many of us and while roaming internationally as we can have any other carrier of our choice.
Please think apple even we have paid the amount.
I spoke with an apple employee about the new usa unlocked iphone and he confirmed that it is in no way different than the locked at&t iphone. It still unfortunately still has the same at&t frequency which may be re-tuned in the 4s or iphone 5, but as for the iphone 4 usa factory unlocked it is only capable of using t-mobile edge and not 3g signal. It is however facetime capable on tmobile which is definitely a plus as the previous mywi cydia software is as far as I know still only compatible with 4.0.1 I have already bought the white iphone 4 this last saturday with the aim of using a gevey pro sim, but apple told me I could just return it and get an unlocked one for another $50 so I cant wait, finally getting rid of my nexus s (great phone, but still not an iphone)
Att is buying T-mobile... so that really sucks!!!!!! if T-Moble sticks around as T-Mobile and unlocked iphone4 works with t-mobile 3g, i'm in.
Do you think this is to use up inventory in room for iphone5???
Interesting post. I buy and sell iPhones. If I buy the new iPhone factory unlocked 4 And I list it on eBay for 850 dollars I will make $60.61. Plus if I ship to eastern Europe. I add 40 for shipping and insurance. So that's $890 for a buyer to pay and then turn a profit. I buy from international buyers groups for less money. So I can buy cheaper elsewhere. When the iPhone 5 does come we don't know if there will be factory unlock for it. I am guessing no. I think pricing will be 649 for factory unlock 4. 600 for locked iPhone 5. And 499 for older iPhone 4 locked. But the real reason is to get rid of many iPhone 4s as they can. I Internet prices will drop only a little for 3GS and 3G. Am I wrong? Educate me!!!
I spoke with apple today and they have confirmed the iphone 4s and iphone 5 will be factory unlocked. whether or not tmobile 3g compatible is still unknown
dev team & geo hotz got paid by apple NOT to release the unlock. & NOW Apple is doing it them self. Y again.. CAUSE THEY WANNA MAKE MONEY OF EVERY 1 IN THE UNLOCKED WORLD
YES IT WILL BE LOST!!!!! OH NO DON'T DO IT!! jk, Jailbreaking has NOTHING to do with a factory unlocked phone. All jailbreaking does it slaps a program called Cydia onto the phone Springboard so you can add third party apps
SORRY, let me rephrase what I said because it sounded off... Jailbreaking a phone is only a software trick, unlocking is a hardware trick. SOOO jailbreaking won't mess up the factory unlock
This is obvious for me, Apple just want to sell all iPhone4 they have, as fast as possible, before release the new iPhone that will be better and at the same price.
I'm sorry, but MAJOR LOL's at the people on here complaining about an unlock to the Devs.
Now you have NO reason to not have an unlocked iPhone. BUY ONE.
Rephrase that to ANOTHER one. That's where the problem is.
I wonder if now AT&T will give us the unlock code for our iPhones, at least the ones we bought without a plan...
Welcome to three years ago USA. 90% of the networks in the UK now unlock contracted phones for a small fee or even for free anytime in the contract. Will the US networks do this? I would be suprised if they do!
$649 is actually cheap as shit compared to European prices. Shit, when I loved in Italy in the Navy I paid $550 for a POS Motorola Razr back in 2004. In Italy there are no contracts, you must pay full price.
I'm using Gevey SIM too - in Thailand with an iPhone 4 bought at an Apple Store in The US. Works like a charm. Although I bought it outright, I still want it unlocked officially.
There are still a lot of unlocked iPhones out there. I still hope there will be a ultrasnow for the iphone 4. My question is how this will affect the world market? Will the price of iPhones drop or rise?
Can dev team unlock an Iphone4 now?? just wondering !! the resale value is bad for all Iphone users...I sold my iphone 4 for $800 2 months ago..baseband 01.59.00 ..
I am sure Dev team is buying an unlock iphone will see how apple did it..
I know i guess i can no longer have a extremely well business in reselling iphones if they just release factory unlocked ones! Finally usa should have been the first country to have the unlocked iphones first
Its obvious that the DEV team and whoever else was paid not to put out an unlock 9 months ago by apple. I mean come on, they went from telling us that the unlock was on its way, to then all of a sudden absolutely no info at all. But they still worked to get out each jailbreak with each update. If your paying attention to Ios5, it going to have a lot of features that were in the jailbreak community first. It benefits apple to let the jailbreaks continue. A lot of the apps in the cydia community can be used as prototypes for apple in the future. And think about all the extra money they get if you have to buy a phone from them unlocked instead of online somewhere and get ultrasn0w.
