Hi all,
Firstly, before I raise my question, I'd like to apologise if this has been answered before / is blatantly obvious / is blatantly stupid.
1. I've been interested in the iphone, but I'm really against the prospect of getting an 18 month contract. After some browsing around, I realised that, unless I'm wrong, it's possible to buy the iphone from apple uk, and simply not activate it with itunes and hence not be bound into a lame 18 month contract with o2. Is this correct?? Will I just end up with a £270 toy that does nothing?
2. There are websites out-there that offer unlocking services for the iphone. I'm not interested in using the handset with another network - o2 is fine. What I am interested in doing is activating the phone and using it on a pre-existing 12 month O2 unlimited-data contract. Is this possible?
In summary, I want to buy an iphone from apple's website, not activate it, do some online jiggery-pokery and end up with an usable iphone that will function with my current O2 unlimited data contract.
Is this possible?
Thanks a lot!!
