| Unlocking the iPhone It helps those who are with local telcos who are AT&T "resellers." These local telcos which are many, share their own towers with AT&T and all of the phones and services with the exception of the iPhone. They benefit from all of the iphone 3G goodness with exception of Vis Vmail. I am one of those customers, some of my deals are better with the local telco than with AT&T. The downfall to the AT&T/local telco deal in my are is that there are no actual AT&T stores for 50 miles. No iPhones and the local telco AT&T resellers are not allowed to carry it. Now Their customers can use the iPhone for everything that it is, except visual voicemail. So for a "not so large majority," this is GREAT news. I bet there are a lot more people like this than anyone would possibly imagine. Much of North and South Carolina are like this. |
