Hi there,
I'm looking to get an Iphone for the first time. Hesitating to go on contract or pay as you go. I've always been on pay as you go, worked cheaper for me.
Now my question is, if I bought the handset from a network, will the phone locked to this network only?
The apple store says that if buying from the apple store the iphone is sim free, and can change carriers at any time. But what about buying it from say 02 , vodafone or orange, as pay as you go, the phone will locked, right?
