In contrast I believe all phones in Australia can be unlocked once the plan has run it's full course. iiNet have recently started offering phone plans that have amazing value for money but you need to be an iinet customer to obtain these phone plans. For example: their cheapest plan is $10 a month which gives you $150 of calls and sms, 200MB download and unlimited download from facebook, twitter, ebay, linkedin, foursquare and myspace. iiNet don't do any deals with phones though so you would need to have your own fully paid for iPhone.
Regards Ruben Hi Aurora, You would need to check this out thoroughly if A) you think you are buying it cheaper. B)I believe you cannot get a US phone unlocked. All US phones are locked to AT&T, even if purchased without contract. There is a substantial fee involved for unlocking the iPhone so it will work with an Australian SIM. WAMUG Mailing list had a discussion on this some time back, perhaps do a search of the Archives.
