T-Mobile sells unlocked phones in Germany

According to a court ruling, Deutsche Telekom announced today that they immediately begin selling non-blocked iPhone phones without a contract for 999 euros ($ 1,477). The price of an iPhone with a two-year contract continues to be EUR 399 ($ ​​590).



“How many people are willing to give 999 euros for a phone?” Said Carolina Milanesi, director of research firm Gartner in Stamford, Connecticut. “People are not used to paying that kind of money. Now, in every single country, people are looking for an opportunity to circumvent the problem of binding to an operator. ”



The Bloomberg website reports that buyers who purchased an iPhone in Germany after November 19 have the opportunity to unlock it for free, just like existing users.

Prior to this, the only way to unlock the phone was “hacking” using third-party software. The presented legal unlock method can make the iPhone inaccessible for updating its software.
