[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1536981"] IMO, there's very little reason to buy an unlocked iPhone anymore, as all of the major carriers that I'm aware of there will now unlock the phone for you after a certain period (as little as 90 days, usually) for a small fee. The main compelling reason to buy an unlocked phone from the get-go would be for travel or if you have an option for a plan that suits your uses better than the "iPhone" plans available from the carriers and you want to go for the other option. I suppose buying an unlocked phone does still save a bit of money over the contract phones, but the main attraction -- that it's unlocked -- isn't as big a deal anymore. [/QUOTE]
