Yes, you can use it by using jailbreak method.
No Mr. Moron. Aurn you cannot unlock or Jailbreak Iphone 4S as of now. And i dont think there will be solution to this for a very long time. dont waste your money by buying a locked phone. it will a costly ipod touch nothing else. And for you Mr. P K Arun, who do you advise when you are not an expert.

Anyway thanks for leaving comment here.
What is the best place and the price I can buy a Iphone 4S Unlocked at?
I recommend you to buy from ebay india website. Even I bough my iPhone 4s on ebay indian website, before making order make sure that seller is having 96% and above rating. Also check whether he is offering Indian warranty. The price should be around 40K now.
