| iPhone Contract Sign Up Just wondering now when you buy the iphone off the interent from o2 when do you sign up for the contract. It always use to be when you activated it but is it when you buy it now. Even if its free with contract. There's Forums. And then there's Hexus forums  |

 | Re: iPhone Contract Sign Up Pre activated I think, changed it to stop people buying the phone and jailbreaking it and not signing up to a contract. My Intel 805D at 4.5ghz Spi 1m stable H3XU5 Social FAQ My App - HotUkDeals for Windows Mobile Originally Posted by tiggerai

| Re: iPhone Contract Sign Up Well, I just went to the o2 website and it made me choose a contract before I could get to the order forms. I'd guess you now have to sign the contract before you can get the phone. |

| Re: iPhone Contract Sign Up 100% pre-activated..has to be now because of the subsidised cost of the handsets - they have to know what contract you are on (and get you setup on that plan) before they know how much to charge you for the phone  Pay as you go is different of course, that is still done through iTunes. It's not really a worry for Apple yet as the 3G iPhones cannot be soft-unlocked anyway, so theres no real incentive for anyone to "buy to unlock" as there was with the original.

| Re: iPhone Contract Sign Up Your in luck if you live in Vietnam http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=2351 You can already SIM unlock the iPhone 3G, but there are quiet a few drawbacks.... "A Customer is not simply an invoice but a welcome addition to the Scan family"  |

| Re: iPhone Contract Sign Up Yup they are close to unlocking the 3G iPhone (assuming it has the old baseband of course), but as you say its not implemented yet..and unfortunately the solution iphone-dev are working on may well be null and void with the new baseband update that appeared with 2.2....still, will be a huge leap forward and means that all 3G iPhone owners who didn't upgrade, or used pwnage to upgrade, will be able to unlock Hardware solutions have of course been available for a long time now; things like the sim trick etc..not as fun (or reliable) as pwnage tho Mac Pro, 2x Quad core 2.8ghz Xeon, 512mb 8800GT, 4gb DDR2 FB-Dimm Macbook, 1.8ghz Core Duo, 2GB Ram, Superdrive iPhone 2G 2.0.1 "Is it a coincidence that an anagram of gordon brown is "born do wrong" ?, I rest my case. |
