been wondering about some things with buying an iphone from o2 and then immediately unlocking it for use with a normal any network SIM card.
1) when you buy the iphone from the o2 shop, do you have to sign up for the contact there and then? or do you just buy the iphone and walk out of the shop without signing anything about a contract?
2) when you took the iphone home, would you be immediately be able to unlock it to any network and avoid the £35 18 month contract? therefore never paying for the contract?
3) if i unlock the iphone and something goes wrong (hardware/software) can i just flash it with the official iphone software and seek help from o2?
sorry if the answers to any of these questions were in other threads. i looked but i saw no obvious answers
thanks for any help. I've been looking into buying an iphone and these things have just got me worried
