It never said the iPhone 3G will come unlock. It just says no contract.

@Savlon,
Y is there a 18 months simplicity @20 a month = 360 for the iPhone PAYG?

@friends,
You're def right cause otherwise might as well get it from USA

@rx330,
By then U might be able to get it unlocked; illegally of course?!

@rx330,
You should have mentioned it earlier - me sister is in BKK; I could have asked her to get a unit [don't ask me Y she decided to go despite the 'state of emergency'!] Now she's stranded cause her flight got cancelled.

@rx330,
I don't know - u mentioned Thailand sets are unlocked (or somehow unlocked) in ur earlier message didn't U?!

She's not really stranded lah - her flight got cancelled and she's taking the next flight back; if she doesn't get on that next flight I guess then I'll just have an additional day to the house

@rx330,
oOoOh!! It's realli up to U.. perhaps she could check if the phone can be legally unlocked after the 1 year period?!

@rx330,
No harm checking to see if O2 can unlock it after a year - Perhaps she could alwiz tell O2 her situation; that she's a student in UK and will onli be there for 12 months hence what's d point of getting the phone when she won't b able to use it post the 12 months?!

@rx330,
Ask her to speak with someone with authority; the usual Officers will probably tell her to get another phone or something - and be nice!
