A brand new factory unlocked iPhone 4S is pretty pricy from the get-go, however you can get some money off if you choose to purchase from go4computers. Apple sells the factory unlocked 16GB iPhone 4S in white or black for $649 per unit on their Web site. The current go4computers price for the 16GB iPhone 4S in white or black is $619 per unit. That knocks $30 off of the price from Apple's Web site.
While $30 isn’t a very large decrease in price from the rather high $649 price tag, the small sale is always welcome for buyers. Go4computers’ cheaper price comes with some strings attached – for one, there is a limit of one per buyer. More importantly is that the cheaper pricing will only last for another two days give or take a few hours and supplies are limited.
Being factory unlocked means the iPhone 4S is capable of being used on more than one specific GSM network and it is contract-free when you purchase it. Normally when you buy an iPhone 4S from a carrier and pay the usual $199 price, you are locked into a two-year contract and the iPhone is locked into use for that carrier you bought it from only.
There are alternative ways to unlock iPhones, however factory unlocks are much better as they are permanent without any prerequisites, where other unlocks require spending extra money or jailbreaking. Let us know if you will be snagging one of these iPhones.
