    The 2014 Black Friday Thread

    I did some more search. Actually they are having a 6-month lock in period. But ATT can unlock it for u, if you're travelling internationally or somewhat on that lines. So i think we can take the gamble ! So once we get the phone, we need to contact ATT for the codes, for which they...
