3G Iphone: Turbo Sim vs Software Unlock

viper006

hi guys, sorry in advance if this question has being asked before but ive searched this forum and still finding it hard to get info im looking for..

Basically next week im getting my hands on locked to O2 3g iphone that is not jailbroked either..im hoping to using this on vodafone and i know already this phone is version 2.2 and baseband 2.28 on it which under my understanding are the conditions required to unlock phone once jailbroken.

my questions are

1.am i better off using a turbo sim or doing the software unlock through cydia once i have jailbroken the phone in peoples opinion

2. is there anywhere in cork city than is trustworthy that provides a 3g iphone unlock service..

i would really appreciate any advice people can give on the issue..cheers

If I recall correctly, turbo sims (and other hardware sim unlocking things like them) don't work anymore. I don't think you'll find any businesses in Cork unlocking iPhones, mostly because it is actually quite easy to do it yourself. Just go to iClarified.com and look at their tutorials.

columba rad will unlock it for you, contact him in the "unlocking forum"

Why don't you just do it yourself using a Pwnage tool (to jailbreak it) and then 'Yellow Snow' (to unlock it).

It only takes about 15 minutes and it'll save you cash. There should be plenty of guides out there.

Your questions could have been answered in about half the time it took you to write the original post on here........................if only you had gone to google and searched.

yellowsn0w is the answer you are looking for. Anyone who can read can do it.

No you are just lazy, all of your questions have been answered on here before, in depth, you just could not be bothered to search and read through the results.

If you had bothered to search you would have not asked the question.

As for peace of mind, it is a phone we are talking about right? Not a sick child or loosing a job?

haha you u had me laughing at that reponse godskitchen, youve spent more time complaining on my thread than i have writing on it myself

loosing a child or job,wat are u talking about ?? peace of mind on a purchase is all im on about clearly, something every buyer likes to have on wat is big enough purchase for me, certainly the most ive spent on a phone ever anyways....im simply asking for a help here and apologised in advance if i was bugging people with the simplicity of my question but im still new to navigating the vast volume of info here and im only asking for people for feedback on their unlocking exp..ive actually spent hours reading about it but just wanted to double check with the experts in this forum

honestly man, u have too much time on your hands ...now get lost and complain in someone else forum..cheers
