Refurbed Iphone 5?

[Deleted User]

It's got to be much better than a cheap looking 5c that only has 8gb internal memory which is pretty useless. Phones need at least 16 GB nowadays if not expandable.
I wish I had £269 and needed a new phone!

Wonder if this is still true:

Locked iPhone - an iPhone that can only be used on one network provider, the network it was purchased from on a contract. (If you purchased an iPhone from O2 on a 24 month contract, the iPhone will be locked to O2 only).

Unlocked iPhone - an iPhone that was purchased directly from Apple (online or in a branch) or a previously locked iPhone that has been officially unlocked by Apple (usually for a charge, anything between £10-£30 depending on your network).

...since there's that thing with iPhones locking themselves to first network it's used on, unless purchased at an Apple Store.

According to what the sites i've browsed say, the phones are unlocked.

But no doubt there is a possibility that the first sim you put in it will lock to it. Probably to make apple more money from unlocking.
