T-Mobile Begins Selling Unlocked iPhones in Germany, Offers Free Unlocking

Following yesterdays court ruling, influenced by Vodafone, T-Mobile has today announced that it will begin selling an unlocked iPhone for €999 (US$1,477) immediately, as well as continuing to offer it for the discounted €399 (US$590) in combination with a two-year contract, the company said in a statement.

Bloomberg also reports that existing iPhone owners in Germany can have their iPhone unlocked free of charge.

T-Mobile has stated that it would abide by the conditions "until the legal situation is resolved."

On Tuesday, T-Mobile said it would appeal the injunction and it also said it reserves the right to consider seeking damages.
