If you have been looking into getting an iPhone but thinking about the price tag and additional contract costs have put you off then you might find this article rather informative. The fact of the matter is that you don’t need to lock in an 18 month contract which is the standard in the UK in order to get a fourth generation iPhone. moreover, you don’t even need to pay for the phone itself if you know where to go.
These days, many companies in the UK are aggressively looking for additional customers to whom they can market their products and services, that being the case you can sign up for a free trial of their services and once the free trial period is up, all you have to do is cancel your membership and claim your free gift for experiencing the service they had to offer.
Obviously, they do this in the hopes that more and more people will like the service they offer and that they will continue to do business with the new clients they just acquired; in our case though the objective is to get a free iPhone fourth-generation without having to pay the full cost of it. some of the companies that are able to make this happen are (but are not limited to) Bingo Liner, LoveFilm and JackpotJoy.
Now if you are a rather impatient person and you don’t want to wait for a free trial period to run up then you can literally walk into any electronic store that sells iPhone’s and you can get your iPhone 4G without having to sign up a contract. In some cases you may have to talk to management because most salespeople are trained to sell the iPhone along the contract. If you get negative answers after visiting the first store you decided to go to don’t give up, because there are many stores were people will just want to make the sale regardless of whether or not you sign up a contract. some stores where you can buy a fourth generation iPhone without having to sign up a contract are: O2, Car-phone warehouse, the Apple store. Once again keep in mind that the salespeople you will encounter are trained to sell you the phone in addition to a contract.
If you don’t want to have to argue with the salespeople you can always purchase your iPhone on line, one of the best places to do so is on eBay (shocker right?) however, you must pay attention to their reputation and the feedback of the seller.
Once you have your iPhone you can proceed to unlock it in order to use a SIM card which will allow you to use your new phone with the carrier of your preference. A quick warning though, if you decide to update your iPhone through iTunes, the phone may get locked once again in which case we will have to unlock it to keep using it with the carrier you already have.
