AT&T price also factor in 2 years contract and then lock in. You can sue Audi and Merc if they force you to drive on particular toll highway ![]() By the way in France only open iPhone is being sold as it is against anti-monopoly laws to restrict sale to particular operator. What we are seeing in India is consumer pays full price and gets locked to either Airtel or Vodafone. Last edited by amitk26 : 23rd February 2009 at 23:43. | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() You can lock handset only if you are subsidizing the phone and want to recover costs through usage. However selling a phone at full price and then "locking" may attract MRPTC if the case is reported |

For the speeds I get, I had posted a screen shot on BB thread.. check this link http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/gadget...ml#post1178554 Regarding the APN settings, Apple has put in the APN settings for Airtel and Vodafone India when they upgraded to 2.0 and that is the reason you don't see the option to change the APN setting under Settings-> General. I just restarted the phone after subscribing to the MO package and I was good to go. | |

Very Strange - but this did not work for me on my 2G cracked iPhone. I had to manually add the APN for this to work. (Vodafone though) | |

| ![]() Kb100, I am not quite sure. Coz that is the main reason why you don't see it in the list. If you put in any other sim card, the option shows up again. Also, now a days whenever I connect to iTunes, a message pops up for a Carrier update. The apple knowledge base has to say this about the update... "iTunes 7.7 and later has the ability to update the carrier specific settings on iPhone with iPhone 2.0 software or later. Carrier settings updates are small files (about 10k) that are downloaded from iTunes to be installed on your iPhone. The carrier settings can include updates to the default APN (how iPhone accesses the carrier's cellular data network), special dialing codes at Settings > Phone > [Carrier] Services, default settings for Stocks, Maps, Weather, and other items." Does anyone have new places where I can get the apps? Appulo seems to be hosting a lot of dead links. |

Also just because an iPhone costs XX$, does it mean that we can just apply a currency conversion to get equivalent Indian price? I think not. | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yes companies can claim anything. To prevent companies from claiming anything we have the MRPTC. All over the world companies will try to claim a lot of things, and regulation exists to stop them from doing so. If Airtel/vodaphone are actually subsidizing the iphone, they have to prove it in front of MRPTC. But I am sure this won't come to that, as corporate governance laws in India still belong to british raj. |

![]() being in handset industry for last 11 years I can say that there Mac fans created initial hysteria for iPhone, but in country like India where there is no mac presence of hysteria the craze is unwarranted there are better touchscreen phones available fully unlocked in market. | |

Quoting from same Wiki link In France, SIM locks are not prohibited. However, the mobile operator must inform the consumer of the existence of a SIM lock. The subscriber has the right to request that the SIM lock be removed at any time. No later than 6 months prior to the conclusion of the contract, the mobile operator must "systematically and free of charge" provide the subscriber with a procedure to deactivate the SIM lock.[8] Operators may charge a fee for removing the SIM lock prior to the 6-month deadline. | |
