pyroscott Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 http://www.technobuffalo.com/companies/apple/iphone/att-reportedly-unlocking-on-contract-iphones-for-deployed-service-members/ Most of us have heard that AT&T is unlocking iPhones of those who have fulfilled their contract with AT&T http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/story/2012-04-09/unlock-ATT-iphone/54125676/1 but now, in a patriotic move, AT&T is unlocking iPhones for Soldiers who are deployed so they can use their iPhone on local networks while they are deployed. Many Soldiers end up buying a cheap cellphone to use while they are deployed, but if they have an unlocked iPhone, they can pop in a local prepaid SIM and use the iPhone instead. This will, no doubt, inspire loyalty to AT&T from the troops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legion125 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Good for the troops. You have to jump through enough hoops when the deployment orders come. On less thing to worry about. Too bad it was AT&T, with all the different things T-Mo is doing with their plans, this would have been an excellent driver for them.

MacinJosh Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm glad that at&t is finally getting their heads out of their a**es and doing something nice for the troops. I have heard terrible things they have done to Service members in the past and it disgusts me. I'm glad they finally have a change of heart.
