iPhone Unlocked
-
Should this query be very amateurish, pardon me. We have a few CDMA providers like Reliance and Tata Indicom in India. With CDMA providers, the instrument does not have a SIM Card and needs recalibration with the provider. The same should hold for this iPhone and AT&T right? Or is it GSM based and some special technical innovation of AT&T to apply a creamy superimposition of locking customers' equipment to thier own networks? We had something like 64K SIM Card introduced by Airtel Chennai. But even that does not lock the customers but it provides enhanced storage for messages and phonebook.

It's typically possible to lock the hardware of the phone to only accept a certain provider's SIM cards. You have to enter an unlock code to allow a different network provider, and you have to contact your network provider to get the unlock code. This has happened to me twice with 'pay-as-you-go' phones from O2 in the UK. The reason for doing it is that the phone is still subsidised to an extent, though not to the extent it is with a contract. Typically you take the phone to a shady dealer in your local market to get it unlocked for £10 or so! The iPhone is GSM-based.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Although I saw here preiouvs posts about Paris Hilton, and the Golden Cup, and it didn't matter to me. However I really wonder why CodeProject Lord said it isn't important here while CodeProject Insider -Daily Developers News- "7-Sep. 2007" entitled with -[CodeProject] Daily News - $100 refund credit to iPhone buyers-.
