I bought a brand new 3gs iphone as i finally gave in to the apple call.

Now this is stupid but i assumed they could be properly unlocked and not jailbroken

This is on vodafone and i'm o2. Apparently only o2 can unlock the cunting things.

What the fuckedy fuck do i do now? I really dont want any JB fuck about with software. I just want the phone to work

So is selling the only option or can i unlock properly?

Get an O2 pay as you go sim with 15 quid credit then you can do it online

Ok apologies if you can. I assumed o2 would say buy one from us then


Aye?! I'll check the o2 site then.

how did you go about getting it done mate?

R5FORD

No worries mate, maybe its not ment to be unlocked if its not on o2? I did enter one of my uk o2 numbers tho but the phones on vodafone

Next potential stupid question.

o2 site says something about 3g sim card. mine doest say 3g on it and is quite old. do i need to request a new one from o2?

R5FORD

yh its best to have a new sim card as 3g can drop out and be a lil slower on the old cards

Spiky

if you dont have a 3g card you cant use the 3G network, so no fast downloads and difference coverage

No you cheeky fucker i am clever!

I've never had an iphone before and have resisted big style. I thought i'd try this one knowing full well i'll probably buy the new one too. This then goes to the wife as a sweetener

I had to explain this to Rhys last night too

Yh they do but o2 have said they wont be unlocking the iphone 4 untill a later date to make sure genuine o2 customers get the iphone first.. where is the info on the unlockable ones being released on 24th july from?

won't your wife have the hump? with her old tech , out of date, hand me down phone?

It's better than the fuck all she'd be getting otherwise

If she gets an iphone it wont matter which one to her then me getting the better one will go un-noticed

She is SHITE with phones. Always loses, breaks, destroys them. In fact the current phone has been around for long enough to perhaps treat her
