Todd Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just in case it isn't clear (which it wasn't to me) go into your o2 shop, pay via credit card and it's yours for 169.99, no need to get an o2 contract. I've just done it this week as have many other people. 10mins later and unlocked at home to all networks. Anyone paying more than 169.99 for a 2nd hand one is off their head IMO.

bigcol Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 but according to that you still have to get a contract i will phone o2 and ask then if you are correct i will apologise prefusly (spelt wrong) i just phoned my local o2 shop and yes you can buy the phone for £169 (didnt dispute that) but then you have to contact apple to register the phone and have to take out a contract min £35 before they will activate the phone. Unless you can get the phone activated whilst unlocking it i cant see how the phone would work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 But you don't activate it through apple, you just unlock it at home and have it on any network, job done i'm no expert, but doesnt all the functions of the I-Phone work through O2 yeah? so unlocking a phone would make most of the functions useless yeah?

Todd Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I just use it for the wireless, not tried using it with edge yet but that's pig slow anyway. If you want to use it for the net outside wireless then you really want to wait for the 3g.

Pete Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Unlocking your iPhone is not for the feint hearted, it is possible to brick it and if you're not technically minded and understand what you're doing it's not always as straight forward as the YouTube videos have you believe. You'll also kiss goodbye to your warranty and will have broken the user license. For instance, you have to find out your networks GPRS proxy settings, username and passwords to access that. You need to alter your answer phone number so the answer phone button works. Some of the hacking tools break other things like Wi-Fi which you can fix. You need to build yourself up a library of firmwares and boot roms etc. Basically if you put in the time to read forums, grab illegal files and aren't technically challenged you can work it out. I'm running v2.0 with Exchange integration at the moment, it's a little buggy but works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcol Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 dont ask me it was unlocked when i got it, sounds like a lot of fun trying to unlock it, any sensible offers folks ive also got a brand new never been used ps3 with 3 games inc condemmed 2, wireless controller, charger for controller, six axis controller, blu-ray remote control etc thats going on ebay later:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
