A few questions looking at my local newspaper there is Iphone 4S for sale on say Vodafone unopened so do they still get covered by Apple warranty and is there any branding? Will places unlock the 4S cheap?
Got a tip for us?

No iPhones are ever branded
Don't think Vodafone unlock the 4s yet
And there's no other way to unlock

i doubt that vodafone would print the carrier on the phone. You will eventually be able to unlock them with a gevey sim
So if I bought it then it may be hopeless as I'm not on vodafone? No independent shops unlock?

I think if you buy it, get a payg sim and then its £15 to unlocked from the credit on that sim. So you should be able to unlock it.

Apple wouldn't allow a carrier to physically brand an iPhone.
Also is the phone ever really locked to one network? I mean when I got my UK 4S this morning it was a sealed box etc, I'm guessing that if I put in a vodafone sim card instead of a Tesco Mobile one it would have worked with that. I just don't get how a network can "lock" a sealed device that came straight from the manufacturer 😕

I may end up just going to Apple and ordering one online to be safe.
Will decide tomorrow I think. 😛
