As those who frequent the One S thread will know I'm in the market for my next handset.

So, I see that CPW have the One S for £349 PAYG (with assorted topups on different networks), but its £429 SIM-free. Now, what exactly is the difference? Are the PAYG ones locked to their respective networks? :confused:
 
Hmn so If I'm ordering online I'd be risking getting one locked and/or branded to a network?.. damn..
 
Thanks for that, great spot! Now another question, if I order online from cpw and get the new/**** version of the One S, can I return it in store or will I have to send it back online? If I get one with the s3 chip it will be going back for sure!
 
Seen as it's getting close to crunch time I actually phoned CPW and the girl there said that the Three branded PAYG models are actually network-locked, and the Orange ones are sometimes branded. O2 ones aren't anything, phew. She also said there's plenty of stock :p
