Apple iPhone 2.0: UK Customers will need to sign-up their contracts in-store
Published by Ewan on Tuesday 10th June 2008, 11:42 Comments | Filed under: Apple, Mobile, iPhone

I just talked with Rebecca at Carphone Warehouse’s PR. She tells me that, in a change to previous strategy, customers will have to sign-up for contracts in-store.

Previously, you just walked out with your iPhone and self-activated over the phone. The in-store activation will make it rather challenging (or annoying) for you to sell your iPhone (or unlock it and use it on another network).

That is, unless you buy it on PAYG…

    Of course. And the process to wipe, re-virginise and jailbreak the i3G will be how many weeks after the launch? I'm guessing 3.

    4 tops.

    .....although this should stop the touts going and buying 10, then putting them on eBay once they sell out. Wish I'd done that with the iPod Touch. Could have made a fortune.

    With certain incompetent sales staff at many shops, I am sure that the purchase of an iPhone will take forever! ;-)
    Will they be selling the iPhone online? I think I read somewhere that in the US, AT&T will only sell it in stores, not online
