Congress held an “iPhone hearing” on wireless innovation and consumer protection.
Yes, you can unlock an iPhone to work on any network… but that’s through an unofficial hack (which can and has been disabled through Apple’s software updates.)
This is talking about getting the iPhone OFFICIALLY unlocked by Apple right out of the box.
all hot guys reading this hit me up on MSN Messenger ID jane22fall. im bored xD M
not true u can unlock a iphone to work on any network
Of course the only problem with the free wireless Internet plan is that they intend to block and filter websites that are deemed inappropriate. Excuse me but I have the right to decide which website I want to view. Not some company or the federal government.
I’m starting to think the “forever stamps” and writing letters like the old days is becoming more attractive lol. When I think of all the money spent in communication, its never enough for these greedy companies. It would be great if every person went on strike with them, cancel phones (both home and cell), and cable and everything else for a month (yes, some pain is involved lol)
I’ll be hunkering down soon and having to let go of some of my services anyway.
ha ha! i’ve kissed some ass in my time though!
Sorry I wasn’t referring to you. I was referring to Murdoch being a NWO Luciferian hoof kisser and a Rothschild and Rothefeller henchman.
Reread the msgs from the top.
Sorry the miscommunication.
Semper Fi
i am not kissing the hooves of anyone!
You kiss the Zionist God Lucifer’s hooves and Rothschild and Rockefeller will buy you anything to further their NWO ambitions. Murdoch is just another of their evil henchman.
why is an australian conservative in charge of so many newspapers and magazines and tv stations!
just “crack” it
Forget iphones. How about eliminating etf’s and T-Mobile’s “inability” to block texts (the only carrier to do or not do this).
Well here we go! It seems that Rupert Murdoch now has control of almost every major news outlet in the world! This can’t be a good thing! What ever happend to the Trust-busting, like in the days of William Howard Taft? I think he knew what could and would happen if a small number of people controlled everything.
Trust-busting refers to government activities designed to break up trusts or monopolies.
Simple these corporations need to be broken up. They are out of control do to
NO COMPETITION!!!
How is the iPhone’s compatibility with a single network any different from the Sidekick’s exclusive compatibility with T-Mobile? You have no idea how much I wanted THAT back in the day. Could I get it? No.
I’ve been an apple user for many years and love their product. That said I am thoroughly disgusted that Steve Jobs would do business with AT&T. I am seriously considering ditching Apple products all together. No spying, it’s unconstitutional even if the Senate and Congress pass an unconstitutional retroactive law to protect them. Boycott AT&T and Southwestern Bell!
The market doesn’t regulate itself. It only exploits. The iPhone has immense potential, but of course backwards communications companies will not relinquish their monopoly. They do not care about real progress and technological progress, they only care about profit. The profit motive contradicts the more important human motive. Any unneeded restrictions should be dismantled.
There is nothing wrong with the exclusive contract between Apple and ATT. The govt. has no business telling businesses that they cannot have such contracts. The market should be allowed to naturally regulate itself. If consumers don’t like it, they won’t buy it. Apple loses. ATT uses. Our Bill of Rights does not guarantee free access to technology such as iPhone.
this is so true
That doesn’t make any sense. You’re excluding a lot of purchasers of these products by saying that. And if something happens to the phone onces it’s unlocked is the warrenty any good?
I’m asking cause I don’t know. I don’t use a lot of Apple products for this exact reason.
its called getting an unlocked version of it you pussies
For some people who aren’t as computer smart as others they won’t be able to jailbreak their iphone, making them forced to use atnt, well these people… the iphone isn’t for them. Most people have a jailbroken ipod or iphone and this doesn’t matter, and its fairly easy.

What is the song at the end?
If you take phones out of 2 year contracts, you will see the end of “free” and even “cheap” phones. Look at the base retail price on even the most basic phone you can find, without a camera even, and you’ll find a 200+ dollar piece of equipment. 2 year contracts are a simple and effective method of making cellphones available to everyone.
