Factory Unlocked iPhones (Legally Unlocked by Apple)

[fredrickyoon]

I had purchased a factory unlocked (legally unlocked by Apple) from a seller on eBay in Australia. It was brand new, the black 32 GB 3GS and all was good, but I noticed that with my AT&T SIMs card in there, the reception would fluctuate consistently between 3G, Edge, and then back to searching. Luckily, I got rid of it and purchased another one from Italy which I got this morning, and it looks like this one is flawless and perfect. No issues so far and enjoying it. Australia also sells factory unlocked ones, but I don't know if the one that I had was faulty or not. But very happy with the Italian one right now which I will keep for now.

Just a friendly reminder to all, your unlocked iPhone that you purchase from another country or is a part number for another country, will only have a warranty in that country. You don't get worldwide warranty service on the iPhone....

Now you know why the Thread Starter dumped the first "Unlocked" iPhone.

If you're wondering.

iPhone 3G & iPhone 3GS purchased at the Apple Online Store can be activated with any wireless carrier. Simply insert the SIM from your current phone into iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS and connect to
iTunes 8.2 to complete activation.2 Purchase limitations may apply.

879 AUD = about 695 USD

Only challenge is getting that Australia mailing address. The Apple.com Australia order process will not let you change the country from "Australia"

even if that could work, shipping to say, the USA, is about another 100-150 bucks. So you'd still be paying around 800-850 bucks for it.
