[QUOTE="trevor25220, post: 1767367, member: 383454"] Thanks. Strangely enough the article I read stated that unlocked iPhones supplied by Apple, John Lewis (Dept. Store), GiffGaff (Cell Co.) & Three (Cell Co.) would NOT permanently lock onto new SIMs but iPhones from other suppliers could. I'll have to ask the used phone company supplying me to state what their phones do. If I did get stuck (locked) abroad, wanting to place a fresh local SIM, could I get the phone unlocked simply by calling the previous mobile phone service provider in the UK? Or could a local cellphone dealer/engineer in Colombia do it more easily? [/QUOTE]
