  • Anyone can buy the phone in a store. At the point of sale, specific details are taken to start the process of the credit check, i.e name, address, date of birth, bank details etc etc and I remember seeing somewhere you need to pay with a debit or credit card, no cash payments.

    Then, when you want to set the phone up, you call to activate it and be put onto one of the tariffs. I am unsure at the moment on whether some of the applications on the phone would not work if it is not registered. This is when you go through the full credit check. If you fail at this point, you will be advised to return the phone to the store/online.

    If you are buying it for a gift, you follow the same process but give their details instead of yours.

    I am unsure to be honest how the selling on ebay will go with this. I have asked in work but what they have said is that Apple realise this has went on in the US and possibly have chipped something in the phone so that certain applications (i.e the wifi or downloading) will not be active until it is fully registered and on a compatible tariff.

    No, the vast majority of phones are available SIM free or PAYG.




    !!!!!!?

    What's so good about it? Spare me the "omfg we love Steve Jobs" stuff - tell me what's actually good about it


    Yes well done:T

    You still have to pay for calls on PAYG, and tell me what would be the point of getting a sim free phone, just to look at it perhaps???

    Anyway i havent seen another phone that can match the iPhone for usability, its got everything i would consider a phone to have, so it appeals to me, you obviously dont agree and thats all well and good but dont insult me for it.
