Perry44 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 This device has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained. By reading that, I interpret that all of those Free iPhone sites are illegal? Because they're offering the sale, and it says they may not be? Just curious, anyone know for sure what that statement above means? I'm just curious, sorry if this has been asked before. -- Perry Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44706-free-iphone-sites-illegal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhsh8r Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 no, theyre offering it as a gift, and they have an astrix that says they dont have to do it if there is any problems or anything im pritty sure, and its not for sale by apple yet, so the sites are basicially saying if you complete all the {censored} and the iphone is released (and fcc approved etc) then youll get one, but if apple doesnt sell it (if it doesnt comply with the fcc theyll fix it or scrap it, but theyll fix it....) so theres no way to get it until after its fcc approved anyway, so no its not illegal.

TheNeptune Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Those site are like huge billboards. You might get a free ipod or something but the site is making so much money off of you looking at the adds and clicking diffrent thing they are bringing in profit. And in exchange for you going through the deals they set up with sponsors, you get relatively free electronics. You just have to know where to go, I spent about 30 minutes a week, for 2 months on one website in particular and got a 42" Sony plasma screen TV. 4 hours of work, and $320 (you DO have to buy things from their sponsors, but patience and discipline you can minimize your expenses) for a 2,800 TV -- and I got 10 DVDs in spending that $320? 2,800 - 320 / 4 = 620 per hour I spent working. Sure --- they definitely made their money, but, I don't really care if they made 500 - 5,000 - or 50,000 - it was of no harm to me? Regardless, most of the free iPhone websites are probably somewhat risky, and people won't be able to report their experiences until the iPhone ships. What I'm going to do is wait for it to ship, then get on board a site that has generated positive user experiences and iPhones. It's all about research on the part of the consumer.
