You can actually buy the iPhone 4s unlocked straight from the Apple website. I just did last week as an xmas gift for my dad, with the intention of trying it out with his current account on Cincinnati Bell Wireless. I believe they use the s

The carrier paid for it. They want you to sign up for a contract extension to get the shiny new phone. They have no interest in supporting your old phone.
