Can't the US folks get their I phone 5 or any I phone unlocked and unbranded? I just got my new Nano sim card today. I went into the store which is the store that my mobile provider has and told them the situation about getting the unlocked I phone 5 from the Apple store and they just swapped my sim which I have for the 4S to the new one that will be for the I phone 5. They do not care that I am not buying the I phone 5 from them even though I'm on one of their plans. I just don't want to pay more a month just because I have the privilege of getting the I phone 5 hence once my contract has run out, I stick to the tarrif, but they will not get another penny out of me for me to get another contract as I like paying the low tarrif! Another advantage is that I can go any where in the world and get a local pre paid nano sim and use it without paying extortionate prices.
