This is an AT&T locked phone question, not an iphone question.

I have an IPhone with optus here in Australia.  If you sign up for a  
contract, you can call and ask for an unlock at ANY time.

If you buy one for prepaid outright (for ~$700 aud) you can unlock it  
as long as you've used ~$100 credit on the phone.  If you haven't you  
just buy that credit to qualify

Once unlocked I can use it with any carrier in any country who  
supports 850/1900/2100.

So the question is "What happens with ANY phone you buy through AT&T  
which is locked".
