    Where is the Best way to Buy large amounts of iphones?
    I want to buy around 5-10 iphone with no contract so I can unlock them and resell them. I went to the apple store however the apple employee said he could only sell me one phone per plan and that I couldn't leave the store without an activated phone.

    There must be some way around this.
    Should I become an apple authorized dealer?
    Or should I buy one iphone, then go back the next day and say I lost the iphone and go to apple store and buy a new phone? (I would have to pretend I lost my phone about 5 times!) Any other ideas are helpful.

    What about online phone stores? If you order one from different online stores you might be able to buy 10 :)

    yeah they are genuine apple iphones, though sold illegally in grey market. iphone will be launched officially in india in september, but rite now loads of iphone 3g are freely available in any grey market. I had used one for few months than sold it for 450$ as i fell in love with e61i

    I doubt they are genuine as I know that the new 3G phones need to go throgh the itunes server to unlock. Only the jailbreak is available for the 3g Iphones but not the SIM unlock yet. Unless the 3g Iphones thats available in India are only the jailbroken ones.
