My iphone contract expired in August and I've just transferred the number to PAYG as I'm off to Australia.
Can anyone confirm if it's possible to convert the phone to a sim-unlocked phone so that I can use it in Oz with a local telecom provider? I've been told that this isn't officially supported which I don't understand given I've completed a 18-month contract so the phone is now mine!
EDIT: Just found a thread about it and looks like you can't! How crap. What gives Apple the right to keep the phone locked to a certain provider AFTER you've finished paying for it! Does anyone know of a legal way to sim-unlock it so the phone doesn't basically become a paper weight when I go abroad?
