Forgive me if this is a silly question.
I've heard that Apple is due to start selling unlocked IP5s "in the coming weeks". However, there are articles (http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/09/unlock-off-contract-att-iphone-5-for-free.html) claiming that AT&T IP5s bought at full retail can be immediately unlocked for free.
So my question is two fold:
1) Does anyone know if you have to be an existing AT&T customer for this to work?
2) Is there any difference between a "factory unlocked" iPhone and one that is carrier unlocked?
Thanks for your insight.
Cheers
