ONCE AGAIN YOUR WRONG!!! It’s not illegal to unlock your phone, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!
Even in the US there is a exemption in the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) that allows you to unlock your phone:
‘‘Computer programs in the form of firmware that enable wireless telephone handsets to connect to a wireless telephone communication network, when circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of lawfully connecting to a wireless telephone communication network.’‘

Secondly, prices are based on supply and demand. Maybe you can take a quick economics lecture to help you understand this… Yes people do buy iPhones and sell them directly for money, because they are making a profit on it especially outside of the US. I for fact have bought two iPhones until now, knowing fully that the person selling it to me is making good money. I was still happy with the sale (knowing that the turbo sims were sold out worldwide and selling 500$+ on ebay) and was able to sell one of my phones to make back some of my cost on my other iPhone (WHICH IM CURRENTLY TYPING FROM) and like I said plan to keep until something better appears on the market, because in my opinion and several others, this is the best device currently on the market.
Just give up please! Or atleast think your next comment through and maybe do a little bit of research!
