Unlocked phones [was Re: In my case, the Seeing Eye GPS app is quite expensive.]
This just applies to GSM phones, so as Sieghard says in the message you're replying to, it'll work with any GSM based carrier, such as ATT and T-Mobile.

Re: Unlocked phones [was Re: In my case, the Seeing Eye GPS app is quite expensive.]
Unlocking typically refers to allowing the phone to use SIM cards from other carriers. This only applies to GSM phones, so it wouldn't apply to a Verison phone. You can unlock a Verison phone, but there's no guarantee that another carrier will let you use it on their network. CDMA phones are locked based on a carriers database and not the SIM card.

Re: Unlocked phones [was Re: In my case, the Seeing Eye GPS app is quite expensive.]
I prefer unlocked phones too, GSM is much more flexible since your account information is stored on the sim card, and this can easily be moved to different phones. This is why I don't like CDMA carriers like verizon and sprint.

Once done your iPhone will work with any GSM carrier/SIM like T-Mobile or MVNO’s like Straight Talk. T-Mobile might be worth checking into, I am in Canada and only know what I hear on the list and on Podcasts like Today in iOS, but I believe they offer some less expensive plans. Another advantage of unlocking your phone is that even an iPhone 4 when unlocked has a higher resale value and is easier to sell.

Hi Sieghard. I’m not sure what I want to do yet. If the Treker Breeze does the same things the Seeing Eye app does, it may be an option. As for using another carrier besides ATT, is that possible with my iPhone, which used to be with ATT. I also should have mentioned that I was outside of my 2 year original contract, so it didn’t cost me anything to get rid of the data plan.
