Many people like you and I fell signed a two-year contract with t-mobile and has ended but still wanted to keep your phone to use elsewhere rather it's a US carrier or a carrier abroad. At&t will allow that for all their phone but the Iphone. How stupid and cruel is that? The phone that basically cost me my arm,your leg and the 3 pennies from your cookie Jar. Apple and At&t says they signed a 5 year exclusive deal with each other which has nothing to do with nothing and me using my phone when I am in the UK. We need to fight for every little thing that the these large companies try to tackle us with. Once you let a little in there is room for alot.. Make a Start..
