unlock iphone
If you have money, a $1.000 000 car is still cheap.
If you don't have money, $1.00 snack is still expensive.
The Iphone price based on where you are, and the average income of that country.
"I'm not sure if you can use officially unlocked iPhone without jailbreaking/unlocking in T-Mobile. If that is the case, might as well save some money and buy second hand jailbroken/unlocked iPhone".
Yes you can. I have an unlock iPhone 3GS from France that my niece gave it to me when she upgraded to a new iPhone. I plug a t-mobile sim in; it works perfectly without doing any extra manipulation.
In France, you can by an unlock iPhone or buy it with 1 yr contract or 2 yrs contract. If you buy it with contract, under the French law, 3 months after you signed the contract, you can ask the company to unlock your iPhone officially so that you can plug in any GSM cards in the world.
Also in France, receive calls and texts don't reduce your minutes and messages plan. You pay only what you call and send out.
T-Mobile no contract plan:

other companies also do similar price.
At school I have free WIFI; at home I have free WIFI; at work I have free WIFI. and free WIFI almost everywhere. The only place I don't have WIFI while I am driving.... ummmm I don't want to kill myself anyway.
At school I am not good in math, but for this plan I am sure I can get an A.
The average lock iPhone with the big three will cost me around $2400-$2600 for 2 years.
If I buy an unlock Iphone $649+tax and use no contract plan, at the end of 2 years, the money I save; I can buy an extra iphone, and in 2 years I can still sell my older iPhone for $300....
my plan is between $30-$50 including tax
30x24 = $720 + $714 iPhone = $1434 for 2 yrs.
50x24 = $1200 + $714 iPhone = $1914 for 2 yrs.
For me, an unlock phone is the best solution to save money... maybe t-mobile edge is slow for you guy, but I rarely use it because WIFI is faster. I don't know if you can do it with at&t without contract with the iPhone... check it out..... otherwise the big corporations dictate you guys like usual.
I know usage is very personalized and with this, I'd surely be missing my unlimited data and my talk minutes, unlimited text. Yes, I also do pay more unfortunately. I also don't own a Touch, and I don't think you can use ATT for data and T-Mobile for phone calls in same iPhone.

If you're a frequent traveller, it's a no brainer. For average Joe who doesn't travel, I don't see the appeal of it. ATT, Verizon and Sprint, as far as I know, has nationwide roaming.
You know what sucks more, our only two GSM has different frequency from one another so GSM phones does not usually work seamlessly between them. Building two towers of different frequency to cover same area. Its sad.
You paid an extra $450 dollars to get the unlocked iPhone 4S 64GB iPhone. I assume that you would get the next iPhone 5 unlocked again for another extra $450 since you are an early adopter and don't want any contracts. Thats extra $900 dollars extra for the two officially unlocked phones. Paying $536 for early termination and upgrade fees I think is the better route. Traveling is always the best perk of unlocked phones as you can just buy local simcards to save money.
