If you are planning to get it from US then i would advise against it as chances are she would be buying a new piece which would be with 4.2.1 firmware and 3.10.x baseband which is not unlockable till date. I had got a new iPhone 4 from US 3 months back which came with a 4.1 firmware and till date there is no unlock available for the same and it has been lying in my wardrobe since last 3 months.

Contact Rampage as he sold some factory unlocked phones at good price.

Prefer factory unlocked version than software unlocked because if somehow you upgrade FW it may get locked.

you cannot use any function of the phone or just the communication part?

can you use it as a music source? or browse through wifi?

from what i found out u cannot use it as a phone until the unlock for 4.2.1 is out, else u can use it as an iPod:-) and wait until the unlock is out, after which u can use it as a phone 2:-) BTW this is only if ur buying a locked phone 4m the us which is bound 2 AT & T, and if its running 4.2.1, if its running 4.1.0 u can unlock it and jailbreak it (software hacks) and use the phone without issues(just dont update firmware 2 4.2.1 until hack is out)

safest option get a factory unlocked phone. no worries

i hope this helped u, if m wrong pls do correct me:-)
