Where can I buy an unlocked iPhone?

Unlocked i Phones are very  expensive. Locked iPhone cost is low. So, i would suggest you to buy locked iPhone and get Remote unlocking service from any of the online service providers like http://www.simpleunlocking.com/apple-iphone/rs16wp9/  to unlock it and use your iPhone for any other GSM networks independently.
