So, even when I offered to pay AT&T $700 for an unlocked iPhone that I could use here in Jordan while working, they told me that it was impossible. Now before you call me a brainless n00b, I thought that I had heard way back before either the EDGE or 3G iphones were released that the iPhone was available for purchase as unlocked, you just had to pay a much larger fee for them. Guess I was wrong though.
So, after they get bumped again, I figure that when I take a vacation in the UK in the summer, I'll check these out - http://www.o2.co.uk/iphone/paygo - for £399 or whatever their current price. The Jordanian Dinar and the Pound are right next to each other (at the moment) so it's not such a bad deal as it would be if I still had to deal with US currency.
I was hoping that it could be confirmed from you wise forum members that the UK O2 iphone can be used easily with any network, completely unlocked, can be used with the USA app store (where I have my credit card) and all that, etc etc. Better to be safe than sorry and ask!
Any advice you can give me would be appreciated.
