I am in a fix. As i am sure you must have heard about Iphone (Paris Hilton of mobile phones). I cannot sleep or do anything without the thought coming into my mind. The thought is with me day and night. I have never wanted any device like i want the Iphone, and i am not saying this lightly!
However, the device is made to work only with AT@T sim card and their condition is BLUE MURDER even for those who live in America. One needs to sign 2yr contract of $60 monthly (minimum) to use an Iphone in the states and since it is an Ipod( the feature i like very well) one needs to pay additional money to download music, podcast and movies into the phone.
All said and done for me to operate the Iphone in Nigeria, i have to buy it in the States, activate ROMMING facility from there and pay almost #4 dollars per minute for all calls i made even local( within Nigeria). So all in all to use the phone here means spending nothing less than $10,000 within the two year contract that is if i am to minimize my calls to only 30minutes daily. I am sure common sense will not allow this.But my sense is not common when dealing with such an issue.
Finally, i read somewhere that a different sim may work on the Iphone( I am sending you a link). I would like your personal OR professional advice ( or both) on this matter.
I may sound a little bit crazy to you but what are friends for?
