Want a new iPhone 3G but don’t want to sign a 2 year contract or even use AT&T’s service? Lucky for you, now you can get one! AT&T and Apple have both started selling the Apple Iphone 3G without any contract. If you’re looking to use the iPhone on a different carrier, you’ll definitely want to stop by an Apple retail store instead of an AT&T store. Apple will sell a unit to anyone that comes in the door while AT&T will only sell a contract-free iPhone to an existing AT&T customer. Once you have your unit you can unlock it and take it to whoever you want. The price for the contract-free iPhone is significantly higher than with a contract which is to be expected. The 8GB model comes in at $599 while the 16B models come in at $699.
