IPhone 3G uk contract?!?!

Just a thought about the new iphone.
I have a original iphone and im very happy with it! but i was talking to a friend who works in the apple shop in Glasgow, and he tell me you nave to get a contract when you buy the iphone?!?
My phone isnt on a contract, its a 02 pay as you go sim, and im very happy with it like that!!
I feel it is very short sighted of apple to do this! i know they dont like people modifying there software and rightly so! so why not give us the option do do as we please with the equipmet we buy from them!!
For the time being ill stick with my 2G ipod, but hey just thought id throw my thoughts out there!!

O2 never sold an original iPhone to work with PAYG. So, you must have a SIM unlocked hacked model

  • I have an iphone 5 on contract with 3 but the speaker isn't working , I've spoken with my provider and they said I need to take it back to an apple store .is this correct ? Many thanks

    If you received you phone as part of the contract then surely from a legal pov your contract is with 3 not Apple unless you bought Applecare, if you bought your phone outright then put your 3 SIM into it then yes you'd have to visit an Apple store with your phone's purchase receipt.

  • I had a iphone 3gs on contract then upgraded to 4s then i allowed the sync between the 2 phones then deleted contacts off both phones tried a backup from iclud and now the phones are exactly the same and my main 4s wont work

    i had a iphone 3gs on contract which ended so i upgraded to 4s. had the 3gs cleaned as a second phone for my partner. i then allowed the sync between the 2 so whatever was on mine would be on the other and vise versa. this meant the contacts was aswell so i deleted them not knowing they would be removed from both, i then tried a backup to icloud to restore the lost canotacts instead it seemed to clone my new 4s from my old 3gs and now the features on the 4s wont work. music and tunes have been lost along with all my messages
    please help me

    Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

  • I have an iPhone 4 on contract and its not working correctly , what should I do ?

    I have an iPhone 4 on contract , I only have this 5 and a half months and the iPhone is not working correctly and i do not have insurance .. What should I do ??

    It sounds like you did not purchase it at the Apple store? That doesn't matter - you can still take it to Apple to troubleshoot it.
    You can also try to troubleshoot it with the help of the folks here - if you want to do that, let me know and I'll ask that your post be moved to the iPhone forum where you're more likely to get knowledgeable answers, ok.

    You are completely out of luck then.  Sprint requires you to have service with them and maintain an account in good standing for something like 90 days after which they will unlock it.
    see their requirements on the Sprint web site - http://support.sprint.com/support/article/unlocking_GSM_compatible_devices/b3c33 51e-5daa-4d69-8c61-3465c9fa1081

  • Tell me please, is there any way to unlock my iPhone, if the contract is ended and I moved to Ukraine

    Tell me please, is there any way to unlock my iPhone, if the contract is ended and I moved to Ukraine

    1. Try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    2. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
    In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    Good luck

  • Cost of iphone 5 without contract

    how can i but an iphone 5 without contract and how much would it be?

    Look on Apple's website and find out.

  • We have 3, soon to be 4 iphones under one contract.  How do we separate our iphones to have separate icloud accounts without losing information already stored?

    We have 3, soon to be 4 iphones under one contract.  How do we separate our iphones to have separate icloud accounts without losing information already stored?

    One of them can keep the current account.  Since the iCloud email account must stay with the current account, whoever uses it for email might be the best one to keep it.  You can then migrate the other phones to separate accounts, along with a copy of the data.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once all the phones are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete each other's data from your accounts.

  • Is it possible to use an iphone 5s with contract(verizon) to use it in india after unlocking

    is it possible to use an iphone 5s with contract(verizon) to use it in india after unlocking

    The 5s claims it has more LTE bands than ever. Which is does if you read the tech specs on it. If I was going to go there, I would do some research. If you plan on sliding in a sim card from a german carrier, what German carrier and what LTE bands do they use? Thats what I would do.
    There is a significant amount of LTE bands added on the Iphone 5s compared to the 5 yes. Will it work? It might depending on what carrier you plan to use like I said. I can't answer that sorry.

  • How can I get iPhone 5 whithout contract and chipps?

    How can I get iPhone 5 without contract and chip to use in Brazil?

    Since the unlocked iPhone 5 is not yet available in Brazil http://store.apple.com/br/browse/home/shop_iphone I would say the smartest thing to do would be to wait until it goes on sale there.

  • How can i buy iPhone 6 without contract?

    how can i buy iPhone 6 without contract?

    No, it is contract-free (meaning no 2-year contract that you are locked into), but it is not unlocked. Here is what the Apple iPhone 6 site says about the T-Mobile contract-free device:
    If you have selected an iPhone for T-Mobile, it will come with the appropriate nano-SIM, but you will need to contact T-Mobile or visit an Apple Retail Store to activate your iPhone.
    In order to activate it, you have to select a T-Mobile plan and pay for it (it is monthly). Once the device has been activated, you can use other compatible SIMs with it.
    When the unlocked phone is released at a later date, this is what the site says about it:
    If you have selected an unlocked GSM phone, you can insert your own nano-SIM card or obtain one from the supported GSM carrier of your choice and activate it in order to use your iPhone.
    So, the T-Mobile is not unlocked. It is contract-free, and you will be paying for at least one month's worth of service from T-Mobile.
    Cheers,

  • Can i buy iphone 4 without contract in order to use in Brazil?

    can i buy iphone 4 without contract in order to use in Brazil?

    Probably, but it will depend on what country you expect to purchase in. In addition to not having a contract, you also will need to ensure that the iPhone you purchase is not locked to a particular carrier (sometimes referred to as "sim free"). Unlocked iPhones are sold only in a few countries, so make sure you can get one in the country you intend to visit before you purchase, and buy only from an authorized reseller or you stand a significant chance of getting an iPhone that's been hacked, not officially unlocked.
    Note as well that if your iPhone, purchased in another country, ever needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to a friend or relative in the country of purchase. You would not be able to get service or support in Brazil.
    It's a lot less risk and hassle if you just buy your iPhone from one of the authorized Brazilian carriers. Claro, VIVO and TIM all apparently offer unlocking, though you would have to find out their terms for doing so, and iPhones from Oi apparently are not locked at all, though you will need to confirm.

  • Can I buy iPhone 5 unlocked contract-free in US

    Is iPhone 5 unlocked contract-free available in the store?
    If YES : how much it costs
    If NO : When it will be available.

    There has been no announcement of an unlocked iPhone 5 being made available in the US.
    You can purchase contract free, but that has never implied unlocked.

    I assume he wants one not locked to AT&T, not only no contract. Any iPhone AT&T sells will be locked to AT&T.
    BUT .. you can buy unlocked iPhone 4 from Apple Canada:
    "Your new iPhone. Direct from Apple and ready to use.
    When you purchase your iPhone from the Apple Online Store, you’ll get it commitment-free. So you can sign up for service with the carrier of your choice and change your carrier at any time. Questions? Call our iPhone experts at 1-800-MY-APPLE."
    but I think this is only on line and likely must be shipped to a Canadian address.

  • If I buy iphone 5 without contract, then can it use in another country?

    My father wants to buy iphone 5, and he want to bring it back to Thailand. Pls. Answer me as fast as you.

    There are no unlocked iPhone 5's for sale in the USA at the moment. So buying one "without contract" will not let it work outside of the US. You would need to buy an unlocked iPhone 5 without contract for it to work elsewhere.
    Also, the US uses different bands for LTE, so the 4G connectivity is unlikely to work outside the US:
