HI ur video is very insightfull ...just wanted to ask u a doubt i have..I reside in india n im plannin to buy an iphone 4g by ordering it from uk i would like to know whether i could be unlocked out here or is there any other way to get my hands on the phone without having the problem to unlock it..pls reply..thanks
HK is the best place to buy any electronics (even Apple). All the phones are unlocked (and cheaper than the West.). I bought a sim over there costing HK$25 (£1.80) and the calls were charged at HK$0.03 per minute - almost nothing.
sorry, I got mine off the three network in Fortress and it was unlocked, I inserted my CSL 1010 sim card and it worked. Then I had to put in my 3 Sim card and it also worked, so basically, all iPhones in HK are unlocked, retail and online.
Oh, I see! anyway, Yeah, this iPhone is the best, Hong Kong is the best, I will be able to use it in my country and wherever I go, it's freaking expensive tough, but it's worth... LEGALLY unlocked iPhone, and Real, not fake.
Yes. Basically... the phone comes unlocked if you are sure that it is an Hong Kong iPhone. dont buy those that were shipped from the states, those are hardware unlocked and probably cheaper too...
once i activate it with one sim can i use another sim from another wireless carrier just by putting in thes sim card or do i have to go through i tunes again?
Got the phone in HK, and now im just using a pay as you go plan. 20 bucks a month for messaging, and 10 more for skype to make calls no other fees at all. Way better than dealing with contracts.
The phone comes carrier unlocked already (factory unlocked) so nothing will prevent you from activating it. Just get it, put in the sim card, and connect the phone to itunes. You will be set.

Um does upgrading the software affect the whole unlocking thing in the iphone ?
naruhina908 3 years ago
I just bought one, and the next day came out the 2.2 software upgrade, I did with no problem.
Just make sure the code (or whatever it's called) at the back of the box is: MB489ZP/A or MB496ZP/A or MB500ZP/A
ZP stands for Hong Kong

so do u get these phones from any retaler in hong kong or special places?
deanpinkas 3 years ago
Not anywhere, you need to go to an special retailer that sells the iPhone 3G contract free which are usually a lot more expensive.
