I travel to America soon, and I've noticed AT&T selling the iPhone 3G 16Gb for $99. If I bought this, could I unlock it in the UK and use it on my existing contract (with Vodafone)?

Can you not just get it unlocked out there?

I don't really know to be honest.

Oh, I guess they can in this country but I dont really know how they do it so they might not be able to do it with an American network. Go to that yahoo forum thing and ask on there :)

You might want to check up on the 3G frequencies of AT&T and the ones for Vodafone UK, also the iPhone for 99$? Sounds like a contract to me...

But Google "iPhone dev team" and you'll find the jailbreak and unlock.

surely that's with a contract.

& you have to declare it when comin thru customs.

Err, they were selling them on pay as you go or whatever that is over there. I'm sure they were.

EDIT: I'm wrong. They were on a contract :S
