It seems my travel to the UK has sparked some questions. Take this one for example:
Hello. I have a simple question for you IT Nerd. You talk about having an unlocked iPhone 5S. Does that really save you money?
Thanks for the question. The short answer is yes, it does save me money. But don’t take my word for it. The fine folks at iphoneincanada.ca looked at this issue using the iPhone 6 and showed that while you spend a lot of money up front, you save in the long term. I can confirm that this is the case. Besides that, I have a intense dislike for being tied to a carrier for two years simply to get the phone that I want cheaper. In addition to that, having an unlocked phone gives me maximum flexibility when I travel to save additional dollars as I will be paying local rates rather than the rates I would be forced to pay via my carrier of the moment. So for those reasons, when my customers ask me if they should go for an unlocked phone, I always say yes.
