Hi,
I have just received an iPhone 4 in a cellophane sealed Apple box from Orange as an upgrade. Orange shipped the phone with an external envelope containing the SIM attached to the sealed iPhone box.
Would anyone know if the phone is actually unlocked and only becomes locked when a SIM is inserted and the phone is activated? If this is the case then would it become locked to another network if their SIM were the SIM in the phone when it was turned on and activated?
It seems that Orange are getting the phones from Apple in cellophane sealed Apple boxes and shipping them to customers without opening the Apple box but sending the SIM externally? Apple may of course be locking the phones to Orange at source on behalf of Orange then packaging them before putting them in the supply chain?
