Get an unlocked phone, and 600 euros back
If you’re a would-be German iPhone buyer, you may feel like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place: don’t want to tether yourself to T-Mobile, but also don’t feel like shelling out the €999 for an unlocked phone?
Here’s a clever idea by German reseller Debitel: starting tomorrow, they’ll offer a €600 incentive to buy the iPhone from them. That brings the price down to €399, the same as it’ll cost you to pick up an iPhone along with a T-Mobile contract.
Personally, I wonder how they can afford to do this, but maybe they don’t expect very many people to jump at the offer. Debitel’s offering plans that start at €40 a month, €9 cheaper than T-Mobile’s lowest competing plan. Of course, you’ll have to do without Visual Voicemail, but all of the phone’s other features ought to work fine.
