Hey all,
I am coming to Chengdu next month to study at Sichuan University, and I have a question about whether or not I can bring my iphone with me.
Here’s my current plan:
1. I am due for an upgrade on my phone, so I plan to upgrade and get the iPhone 5. My whole family is on one contract, so apparently even if we drop my line it won’t be much cheaper a month. So instead of completely dropping my line, I’m going to upgrade and just take out all my minutes and data.
2. Then, I plan to unlock my iphone (apparently it’s cheap to do it on ebay)
3. When I finally get to Chengdu, I’ll buy a sim card there and start using my phone as usual.
Has anyone else done anything like this? I think it’d be cheaper to get the upgraded phone here than to buy an iphone in Chengdu, but tell me if I’m wrong.
Thanks for any and all help!
