Can I buy 3G iPhone without a contract & get it unlocked?

As the title says, is it possible to buy a 3G iPhone and jailbreak it to work with my Vodafone sim?

Sorry if this has been covered already but I couldn't find it in the forum.

I am happy to pay the full price for the phone I just don't want to have to alter my current contract.

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

No, you need to sign a 18 month contract in the shop before you get the phone.

O2 are meant to be releasing a PAYG iPhone at some point though.

Have they even managed to SIM unlock the new iPhone yet?

Thanks Gormond.

Does anyone know if this is the case in the USA or Canada? If not I could buy one there when I go over in a few weeks. Obviously I need to know that it can be unlocked when i bring it back first.

Any idea when the PAYG version will be available in the UK?

I think the PAYG is due for Christmas.

I'm pretty sure USA and Canada iare the same as here, you need to sign a contract.

Although there is a Jailbreak for the iPhone 3G I haven't heard of any SIM unlock yet.
