Hi there

I'm going to the states coming Friday. Can anybody give me some leads on where to get hold of an unlocked iPhone 3G S while I'm there? Tried eBay, but getting no replies from the sellers?

Would appreciate any advice!

Thx
 
I doubt it? AT&T would not be happy if you'd use the iPhone on another operator's network, I presume.

Does anybody maybe have a tech friend in the states that will be able to guide me in the right direction?
 
You can't buy unlocked iphones officially. Through ebay you will probably be able to get one. If you want to get it officially you have to take out a contract with AT&T and then cancel the contract (paying the cancellation fee). Its still cheaper than getting it in SA.
 
If I get the iPhone from AT&T and cancel the contract, how do I unlock the phone?
 
The guy from http://www.maxellelectronics.cc.cc/ says they have the 3G S's in stock, fully unlocked? He's adamant that its not gray imports from China and that its the genuine thing? I've heard that there was pre-releases of the 3G S? Is it so? If so, what makes them different? Also, is there a way to make sure that the phone is genuine?

Maxell Electronic's quoted:

"...all our phones are fully unlocked and we do not deal with refublished or china made phones. And our phones caries a 12 months warranty..."

"...presently we have the 3G S iPhone in store. We also have a return policy that stated that if you are not satisfied with any of our product you are allowed to return it and get your money back or company credit will be issued. And if really you want to buy you can come down to our office which I have emailed you the physical address."
