In some countries there are certain laws and restrictions that doesn't allow Apple to market iPhones which are locked to local cell phone service providers. These laws made Apple come out with an iPhone that known on the market as Factory or Officially Unlocked iPhone, which isn't 100% true, as this phone isn't been locked, it was made by Apple without any SIM card restrictions so you can utilize it with any GSM SIM card worldwide.
