A legally supported unlocking will not void the warranty, rather those people who do it illegally by paying a lesser fees to a software or hardware junky, will pay a higher price after unlocking that device with the service provider or the manufacturer’s consent, if there is any issue after wards in the phone, even if it’s covered under warranty, that will void it & user will face a loss. So be careful of those people offering mobile phone unlocking by playing with it’s software or hardware, in the end the person spending money to buy or unlock it is losing.

This answer can only be given by Apple support staff, as the cost of warranty repairs differs from country to country. For ex: Apple usually charges $99 for extended year of warranty on phones sold in Australia. If the cost of repairs is more in India, then it’s a business loss to them. So the better idea is to speak with Apple support staff & ask them for internationally covered warranty, instead of country specific.

The motive to lock a phone with a service provider’s network is to keep the users locked with their service as they are spending a higher amount on buying those handsets, of which the costs are covered after sometime as the users keep paying their bills for service used or keep recharging (a particular amount, upto a period). Rules differ from company to company…….. Only one exception stand in between, especially for people opting for postpaid service & in contract for the mobile phone devices is the INTERNATIONAL ROAMING necessity with their device, with local service provider of that country of the users choice, as the international roaming rates are whooping high & can give a major bill shock to any one……. Unfortunately for Prepaid customers, the unlocking fees will apply as there is no guarantee of the user will do the “RIGHT THING”, i.e. continue using the service of the original provider of the device, instead of using some other provider in same nation. That will be a business loss to that provider.

I have a few questions of my own.

1) Does file trsansfer via Blue tooth works on iPhone 3GS, if not, WHY?

2) Most of the mobile handsets operating on the Android OS, they don’t allow file transfer via BLUETOOTH & can’t be used as a modem with a computer, Unless you have a software for that installed on PC or tweek the phone software to make it work for the above mentioned. Again WHY? Any reason the phone developers put such a painful restriction on them???????

Also some people out there who are reading this question or comments, please don’t leave suggestions for choosing an alternate. I’m rather looking for technical info & suggestions on this, instead of SMART ASS COMMENTS & money spending solutions.

Thanks ——– BYE

Hi Dude. Just inform the ice operator that you are traveling abroad for VISIT OR TOURISM, NOT PERMANENTLY. This way no company can bind you into a contract or forced you in a situation where you will have no other choice, but to buy another phone to be used in another country. Each country’s laws in context to consumer rights prevent all companies to create such a situation for any consumer of their product or service……..Ensure they do not charge you for a unlocking or contract cancellation fees………If you are a prepaid customer & have bought your phone outright, then in that case HIGH POSSIBILITY that the unlocking fees may apply. Please check with AT&T…….Adding to this iPhone in USA works on different frequency compared to that of CDMA service available in india (eg: Reliance CDMA, TATA, BSNL Tarang, Virgin Mobile etc) make sure you opt a GSM service in India.
