Mobistar, Belgium’s exclusive iPhone seller, will start selling Apple’s new iPhone 3G in Belgium on Friday without a mandatory subscription or network lock, Reuters reports.

It will also not tie purchases to a Mobistar subscription, in accordance with Belgian trade law banning joint offers.

The law also bars sales at a loss. Mobistar will sell the 8GB iPhone for 525 euros ($823.6 US), including sales tax, and the 16 GB model for 615 euros.

“The price will be above that in other countries,” Chief Executive Benoit Scheen told a news conference on Tuesday.

Mobistar also announced iPhone subscription plans from 30 to 60 euros per month with a two-year contract.
