I asked O2 Ireland to unlock my iPhone 3GS. Did everything in the video here and the carrier name is now Vodafone.de ( German sim installed). However I can send texts but the don't arrive to any of my contacts? It's like it's still locked even though it's carrier in the top left corner has changed. Any ideas?
Been told I'd have to pay up to £90 to get a iPhone 3GS on Vodafone unlocked. So fingers crossed I can get it done free or cheeper. Thank you oh and I think you do sound nice :)
How do you think I can get internet on my iPhone 3gs?
I had my iPhone on 24month contract, I switched to the blackberry on vodafone contract as I could get a cheaper deal than all iPhones on the market. I kept my iPhone for the iPod. I ask this because I want to download an app, but it will only let me download it on the iPhone which I need internet for...not on my macbook. Do you think it would work using a pay as you go sim and doing it that way (although quite teadius and expensive)?
@pinkfairyice - A pay and go SIM would certainly cost a bomb if you're using it for the internet. Why not connect your iPhone to a Wifi router instead?
But back to the subject, I gave my 3gs a full wash and spin at 60 degrees. House insurance are paying out but i'm gonna hold out for the Iphone 5 but want something to keep me going.
Mate has offered me a white 3gs for £130 which is giveaway and I will have regardless but its on o2. He had it on contract which is now ran out. Will I be able to get it unblocked or would it be better to get him to do so?
@crugga - It's definitely better to get him to unlock the phone. The terms and conditions seem to say that after the "owner" of the phone has owned it for X months "THEY" are eligible for an unlock. Plus this way you will avoid having to explain why you need this phone that doesn't belong to you (in their records) needs unlocking.
ugh i just want to throw my iphone... like.. it says the sim card thats inserted in the iphone does not appear to be supported. wtf?? someone help me :((.. yes i did plug it the usb or wutever its called... i was restoring it becuz it was acting weird.. so then when its done restoring.. i did everything n now its.. wtf?? SOMEONE HELP ME ASAP!!>
I bought an iphone 4 in Britain locked to o2. But I live in Norway and I cant access the website because it says they do not sell products outside the United Kingdom. can anyone help me? :)
Okay so i live in The Untied States and im on AT&T prepaid and i really want to unlock my iphone 2g it was unlocked till i restored by accident. So i i buy a T-mobile sim card i will be able to have it fully unlocked and i can use t-moblie as my carrier? or can i switch back to AT&T? Please get back to me ASAP Thanks man :D
@seadragonboy42 - If you bought the phone from AT&T you'll have to get it unlocked by AT&T, wherever you buy the phone from you must get it unlocked by that company, as they're the one's who locked it.
By what I've heard though, AT&T never unlock their iPhones (which is a disgrace).
If you manage to get it fully unlocked you'll be able to swap different SIMs in and out and not have to worry about it locking again.
@MyRandomReviews I think i got it unlocked fully and im defiantly changing my carrier because AT&T really does suck lol Any idea's on which carrier i should choose?
@seadragonboy42 I live in the UK so I can't really pass judgement although I know that Sprint are investing in 4G WiMax; which I think is a big mistake. WiMax is a much less expandable / future-proof technology compared to LTE. I am with Vodafone in the UK and they are excellent, but I can't pass judgement again on their American efforts (namely Verizon). My favourite network for a long time have been T-Mobile, just because of their utterly brilliant mobile internet, again not sure of T-Mo USA.
@bcm262 - Sorry my answer didn't really make sense, lol. Yes, the phone will remain unlocked so long as the phone is unlocked officially, like the way I mentioned in this video.
Great vid explaining the legal unlock process! I just wanted to ask as I have bought an iphone 3g which is locked to 02and was wondering how i could get it legally unlocked? my old phone's contract was with vodafone i only have an 02 pay and go sim from an older phone. Any help would be appreciated :)
@thejasonsimmy1 - AT&T are a crappy company which don't let you unlock your iPhone, unfortunately. If I where you, think about jailbreaking. It's the only way stupid companies like that will learn I'm afraid. :(
i have the iphone 4 with firmware 4.1.2, got it from the uk on the orange network....need 2 unlock it....tried various websites and i have got nothing....need help with this.
i have a blocked iphone now what? its not on any network...bought it off gumtree and now it dosent have any network connection? anyway u can fix that?
@Pnaliza - You need a Micro SIM card from the network of your choice. Although your iPhone might be locked to a network, so that SIM might not work. I don't know if there's any way of finding out what network your iPhone is locked to without just knowing. :P
Ok guys... I have spent 1 day on the stupid iPhone unlocking.
I'd definetly recommend you to don't be lazy and download a redsn0w program. Guys it really helps ... I needed my phone for tomorrow and I was like hell what I'm gonna do.. But I got it! at 2 am i finally made it. USE RED SNOW@@@@@
@iQuadraPop - OR I could unlock it for free without voiding my warranty and without having to unlock it every time I update? Plus you run the risk of bricking your iPhone permanently. It's not a question of if you can be bothered unlocking it this way, it's about if you don't mind taking the risk of having to shell out £500 for a new phone, just because you couldn't wait.
@hoodhistorypro - Hey, I've just had a reply back from T-Mobile. They say that you can unlock your iPhone after owning it for one month. You just have to call customer services and they'll get it done for you straight away!
Hi thanks for your video , thanks to you my iphone is unlocked now for free just called o2 went through a form he said it could take 2 weeks but it was done the next day.

THIS DOES NOT WORK IN THE UNITED STATES! Realize that there are other people who have the iphone if you could not yet infer that from the videos. T-mobile has it germany for example. Chill out, ATT sucks anyway...
@hashimra Yes, it should be exactly the same. Although some companies only let you unlock after your contract term is over, so you may have to wait up to 24 months!
hi, i just unlocked my iphone via o2. and have been having problems. i am on vodafone and everytime i switch my iphone off then back on again it wants me to resync with itunes. it just comes up with the usb cable to itunes logo.
also it keeps doing now every hour or so without turning the phone off. it will ask me to connect to itunes? can anyone help me?
