Importing Iphone from Asia

Joanne82 · 2011-01-26 18:05:54

Hi, I am considering purchasing an iphone 3gs that has been imported from Asia. It is a brand new phone but is locked to the O2 network. Are there any problems that I could encounter. Or will I be fine using my own sim once I get the phone unlocked? Thanks in advance

Something is fishy. It should not be locked to a network.

Mention Asia, I think fake.
