    As to getting a new phone from your "service provider". I would never
do that. I would just buy the phone and have a SIM-only contract or
pre-paid. Or don't you have those options in your country (SA?)?

In Canada (Ontario), for instance, this is hard to do. Nearly impossible
to buy "free phones", not attached to a contract, at a normal site like
the phone section of a supermarket. Amazon sells them.

    Well, I don't expect unlocked phones at a supermarket, but I expect
them at a phone store or electronics store. A little Google search
indicates that that is the case, also in Ontario.
