I have the opportunity to get one from the US for R4871. Anyone had any experience with this? I’ve heard that one can ‘jailbreak’ the phone it if is network locked.

Rather get one from the UK / Canada / Australia / Hong Kong. Don't worry about getting a micro sim - the networks have to sell you one regardless if you bought a phone from them or not ;) iPhone 4 from the States is network locked – STAY AWAY!!!

Is the iPhone 4 network locked there or also unlocked like in the UK? I was worried about the MicroSIM card issue and imaged that service providers wouldn't just sell you a microsim if they knew you bought the phone overseas because then they won't make the big bucks they could if they tie you in to an expensive monthly contract. Anyone know if MTN sells microsim cards and can I then keep my same number or should I just cut my sim card smaller? I have friends going to the US next month.

Has anybody found the easiest way to get one in SA yet? It seems you need to ask your friends to order online from Apple UK Shop and have to have it shiped to the local person i.e. UK, Then have it shipped or delivered to S.A Quite a mission especially if you dont have UK friends? I am off to Singapore in End Sept and hoping to get one there but not sure if it will be a stock item or also still online / back order item? Any suggestion / Opinions?
