Hi Stuart,
Thanks for your explanation.
Now I just need to make up my mind what to do.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni,
Not sure if anyone answered this.
In short - No. An unlocked Phone is just that. The locked phones
essentially
just have a security code that will only allow SIMs from that
carrier. To
unlock it, you just have to know the code to enter. With some phones
that is
easy, with others you need specific software. We used to unlock
phones for
people for a small fee, or if they were switching to Vodafone we
would do it
for free. In general, the prepaid phones will be locked to a carrier
because
they subsidise the cost of the handset, so they want to make sure
they get a
return in calls.
Cheers,
Stuart

I have thought about buying from the Apple Store unlocked, but
doesn't
it still need to be locked to a carrier?
