The iPhone 4 is going for $200 for the 16gb or the $300 for the 32gb,

IMO you don't need a 32gb, (even though I have over 30 gigs of music ripped on my hard drive, I don't need that much music all at once, I just reload).

Retail from the apple/att store you're talking $600 for the 16gb and $700 for the 32gb, so I don't know how rich you are, but I'd try to find it on craigslist or something for around $400-$500 for a retail iPhone 4.

Hope that helps.

Also they if you buy it retail from apple/att, they ensure you have att service when you buy it. So if you want to use a different GSM carrier, you will have to buy it 3rd party anyways.

Is this website legit?

http://www.unlockiphoneios4.com/

So you are saying once att activates it I cannot unlock, use on another carrier or jailbreak?

the site looks like they are selling carriier unlocks, which is complete BS, you will NEVER have to pay for a carrier unlock, the devs always release them for free.

I am not sure if you want to stick on ATT or not.

If you want to use a different carrier then do not buy from ATT or Apple, because they will make you sign a 2 year.

All iPhones come locked to ATT, but the carrier unlocks should be released this month free. i will update my jailbreak/unlock thread as soon as they are released.

if you want to use a different carrier, buy it from ebay, craigslist, or a friend (after the 24th) and then you can jailbreak and unlock it for tmobile or whomever you want.

I tried to do a search for Vodafone in the us but didnt see them.

The only benefit for Att is the price of the phone but u r saying it can still be unlocked and jailbroken but unlocking would be meaningless due to the 2 year contract, right?

@Orangekid - OKay, I went to T-Mobile to find a no contract plan. Here is what i found out

2 lines - 1500 minutes with talk, text and web for 119.99 month plus add a line at $5.00 each with three lines = $135.00 month. He said the other 3 lines would share in the text, web, and talk. Doe this seem right to you and are you aware of any corp. discounts that they offer?

This is a way better plan than att or sprint

I have never done a corp account with anyone, nor had more than 1 line on any carrier at a time.

Currently I have the $60 a month unlimted web, text, and mobiel to mobiel iwth 500 anytime mins, which is better than any other carrier. And the tmobile coverge in my city is awesome.

Sorry i can't be more help as far as multiple lines and corp discounts go, but I would ask the same question of like 4 reps to ensure you get the best answers, often different reps say different things on ANY carrier.

This is a no contract plan. They also told me if i come in next Saturday we could get any phone in the store for free. 5 free! I figure ill get a couple HD2's and sell them after i get my unlocked 4's to help pay for the cost

He probably said that so you'd be a tmobile phone :s
