After reading the list and seeing many problems with locked
phones, when I was buying I asked lots of questions. If they
don't know, go somewhere else.
The vendor I bought my Aastra 480 from seemded to understand.
One thing I noticed, when I received mine, is that on the
side of the box along with the model code information it
had "Generic" as part of the model code. I'm going to guess
in that it means the phone has not been programed and is not
locked. I'll only be buying the "Generic" models.
