Hi everybody,

I am considering purchasing an Unlocked iPhone 4 from the Apple website. The phone arrives sim free for €399, which is €90 cheaper than stores and good value IMO.

I'm just wondering what is entailed if I buy an unlocked iPhone from the Apple store? Do I just go into my local Vodafone shop and purchase a Micro sim, insert it and away I go? I'm assuming by purchasing a micro sim the phone becomes a 'pay as you go' phone, no monthly charges or anything?

Also does anyone know how much a Micro-sim would be?

Thanks a million for the help in advance

So I just ask for the Sim and top up per month? And yep I think I am! Here's a screen capture from the Apple site:

Your right about the price, I wouldn't be paying that kind of money for an 8GB 4, you'll pick up a 4S 16GB or 32GB for less money.
