If you’re on T-Mobile in the UK and want to own an iPhone 3G, all is not apparently lost for you despite the iPhone being exclusive to O2 in the country.
Apparently, T-Mobile is now selling unlocked iPhone 3G units (not the iPhone 3G S) to select high-spending subscribers. This is what customers who have a monthly bill of at least £75 and managed to catch a very generous rep while threatening to walk out on T-Mobile have experienced.
It should be noted, though, that supply is quite limited per week. Only 150 iPhone 3G units are in stock per week as T-Mobile is currently importing them from Germany where T-Mobile is the partner carrier and also being careful so as not to violate any terms and conditions their contract with Apple stipulates. O2 has not yet commented on this brazen move by T-Mobile to encroach on their territory in the UK, but as far as legality is concerned, T-Mobile hasn’t crossed the line yet.
