[QUOTE="sullij, post: 1628016, member: 303724"] If I was to guess, and it is only a guess, is that Apple doesn't have direct distribution, the phones are provided by the vendors. Since most of the time people don't buy the no contract, full price phone, it is easier to provide it via the vendor. Of the various vendors, T-moble make a big deal about the availability of no contract, so it is probably easiest to use them. You may want to look where and when the end user is located, and the availability of the network type in that area. Att & T-mobile are GSM networks, Verizon, Sprint, etc are CDMA. I'm not sure the iPhone can be "both" Also if the end user is a world traveler, you may want to make sure of the type. [/QUOTE]
