Do post back when you get the info.

In general does anyone know if we can get a phone with contract (hence cheaper) and then just 'jailbreak' it and use it another country?

Wouldn't the person who gets it have to pay the penalty (the actual phone price)? OR is it that they only do this with phones that have completed the contract period?

friend coming from UK... but the phone is under a contract with AT&T??? :eek:hyeah:

also, the phone should be on Software Version 3.1.2 with baseband 05.11.07

if its 3.1.3 and baseband more than above, then it won't be unlockable as of now.

Consider yourself lucky if your friend gets a new one under contract on Software Version 3.1.2 with baseband 05.11.07 !!!

So with the ETF I think the price of the phone would come to the same as the unlocked price right? OR would this be a second hand phone (used by someone else and then sold to you)?
