Apple cannot sell locked iphones in certain countries in Europe. Thats how they get them.

Italy, France, Holland, Belgium and a few others have specific laws prohibiting that. Apple unlocks the iPhone via iTunes as the IMEI number is connected to Apple servers and unlocks the iphone remotely, not hardware.

okay guys here is my question...
what if a guy from belgium wants to upgrade his phone?? (from a belgium computer on a belgium provider) The phone should stay unlocked right?

Now i am a naugthy girl and have my husband living in belgium and i hook up my iphohe to the belgium computer? What will happen. Can it be that easy or not?

when i placed the iphone on the computer it asked me to upgrade itunes to 7.7 which i read at one of the forums.
How can you recognize the country the iphone is sold in? Can you find that in the imeinumber?

Did any of you try this before?
thanks a lot!!

If the phone was legally unlocked via Apple, it should stay unlocked.
