    Hi all,

    So this is gonna be a long one and forgive me if im not using the correct terminology. I recently bought a second hand Iphone 3Gs Version 5.0.1 baseband 05.16.05 that was supposedly locked to 3 . I bought a 3 sim prepay and it worked a few days and now it's stopped picking up the 3 signa :( l. I dont know the name of the original owner so 3 wont help. Is there anyway to unlock this so that i can use it?? so far ive found no joy in the forums here.

    Anyone know if its possible to unlock a 3gs with this software version and baseband?

    Thanks in advance

    Sounds like the original owner reported it lost or stolen and now as a result the imei is black listed.
    If that's not the case try put the iPad baseband on to the iPhone see will that work.more info here http://modmyi.com/forums/unlocking-activation/796823-how-install-ipad-baseband-iphone-3gs-5-0-1-5-16-05-baseband-3.html

    Just hope the original owner did not report it lost or stolen and now as a result the imei is black listed.

    :( That's what i was afraid of. But the guy who sold seemed honest and decent enough. any way to verifiy if the imei has been blacklisted?

    Ring the network provider 3 in this case? and ask for the imei to be checked just say your looking to buy it and want it checked

    Or you can go to the checkmend site and get a report on the phone to see if it has been blacklisted. costs about 2 Euro think.
