If that indeed is their business model, the phones are probably uncrippled.

Of course you also need to check whether the monthly fee includes data.
I have contacted the supplier and they tell me: There will be nothing installed on the Mobile phone from Orange. You just have the contract from Orange, the Mobile phone is from us and also that the phone is not branded which means that there are no restrictions to use it.

Which is good.

The plan I have in mind includes only 1GB data per month, but I don't see much else better available in Switzerland at the moment without paying megabucks per month.

I suppose it's possible/likely that I'll regret this 12 months into my 24 month contract.
