Are you still able to buy the old iphone? If so, where's the cheapest shop for it?

    you couldnt buy it before the 3g one came out as they had run out of stock, wouldnt be any cheaper than 3g one legally as o2 want you on a big expensive contract.

    only real option is to jailbrake a second hand one now but whats the point

    http://www.o2.co.uk/iphone/existingiphonecustomers -> Your Old iPhone says:
    Existing O2 Pay & Go customers can use their current O2 Pay & Go SIM card or new customers can join O2 by getting a Pay & Go iPhone SIM card from an O2 store. Then add the unlimited Web and Wi-Fi iPhone Bolt On (£10 a month). The only thing that does not work with this option is the Visual Voicemail.

    it isn't illegal to unlock a mobile phone from a network so your statement is incorrect, it's just the networks prefer to lock them to tie you too their network

    I got one from ebay in the end, thank you for the replies.
  • beepy was selling them a little while back unlocked, not anymore, but i s'pose if you contact them you may get lucky --someone may of either returned one still-in-box or still a few left not advertised.:beer:
