Iphone price in Libya

For your information:
Iphone is not sold any where expect the U.S. Will start selling in Europe by end of the year. You can only buy Iphone with an AT&T 2 year subscription contract, so you will end up paying a lot of money for it that is if you can have a friend or relative who is a resident in the U.S and even if you get it after paying the phone price+2 year subscription plan you will get a locked phone that only works on the AT&T network, you will need to send it to a specialist to unlock it and then it can work on any GSM network.
