It depends. Many phones that you get subsidized from a carrier in the U.S. or Western Europe are SIM-locked - they only work with one SIM card. The way I understand this Apple development is that you don't have a SIM card at all and can switch between carriers easily. Carriers, of course, hate this, so they forced Apple in abandoning this for the iPhone 5 (or so the rumor goes). Maybe the "iPhone Nano" can have such a universal SIM since it's not subsidized. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
