So just to clarify, this will work on a brand new OOTB 16GB iPhone? If I go to my local AT&T store, pick one up, bring it home and run this software I'll be able to put my T-Mobile SIM card in it?
How do I avoid having to get a service plan and paying an activation fee? Can I tell them I just want the phone?

@IC, most likely not as it not a 3G/Smart Phone. Try any ways. If you dont try you dont know.

@GRIMLOCK.
Thanks for that. So they releasing a 3G soon? damn....oh well...as least it works now. But just curious again, cause I can use my 3 simcard (roaming) in my nokia 6200 (which is not a 3G phone, but tri-band I gather).

@IC. 3 network cards does not work because it uses 3G. Where as all other sim cards are ok. Thats why Apple is developed a 3G version of Iphone to be released. If you bought a new Iphone recently it is most likely to be 4.6 BL. 3.9BL are old Iphones released in the first 6 months. Otherwise all Iphone now are 4.6BL

Hi Wombat,
yes, its me again. Strange, I inserted my local simcard, and now it shows SERVICE! YES! Where as before, I was using my simcard from Australia, wondering how come it didnt work? IE, it roams on my other nokia phone (btw I uses the network "3", could that be the problem?). Just out of curiosity....
thanks!

Hi Wombat,
I read all most of the post in this section, and I have some questions.
I got a new iphone 8gb a week ago and trying to unlock it to use in China. Now, this is what I have done.
1- restore phone in itunes to 1.1.4 (04.04.05_G) (do I need to install with the 1.1.4 ipw?) Also, how to tell if its 4.9BL or 3.9BL?
2- I selected the DO IT ALL with my alternate simcard in it
3- My email, youtube, safari is working fine etc, but my carrier shows NO SERVICE
4- I have installed BSD Subsystem and OPEN SSH
Please advice how to make my iphone work!
thanks alot.
I tried installing anysim 1.3 to unlock the phone, but says

Hi Guys: After running ZiPhone 2.5, my SMSD is not working. No problem in installing SMSD, but when click that icon, it appears to try loading it,but it won't, and then go back to the springboard (Home). I really like to have this app back as it is much more useful than the stock SMS from iPhone. So, help me out, please.

hi Tom you should go to setings, then genera, network, then edge at the bottom of the screen and then you have to enter the settings of your network if it is vodafone, or what so ever.....hope this helps you

I followed the steps as shown above and everything seemed to work but everytime i want to use something which needs internet acces, it comes uo with the message ""Could not activate EDGE: You are not subscribed to EDGE." Should the jailbreak/ activation/ unlock sort this or have i done something wrong?
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

@jared: if you used ZiPhone 2.5c then you should be on 1.1.4 already. Check settings, General, About for your version. Otherwise you need to specify more.

....of course the RESTORE to 1.1.4 (tutorial here, get the 1.1.4 ipsw file) must be done FIRST

@grimlock: simply use ziphine and do it all. The other steps as said by hanoverian are NOT necessary!

@Hanoverian. I will get another iphone 1.1.2 otb fresh untouched and wish to a,j,u. This new IPhone is for a friend of mine and I dont want to play up after I a,j,u. Did you update your 1.1.2otb via itunes with "restore" or "download and update" before you ran Ziphone?

HI Greentea and Wombat. 1.1.4 update is perfect and everything works with the exception of summerboard. I install the summerboard and also some themes but it doesnt show up on the summerboard. Does anyone have a similar prob or know how to fix this?

Joe, try and turn off your phone and turn it back on. Try and reset you internet connection to and see if its connected properly. Have you added the mac address on the iphone to your modem? My best bet is to restart the phone I had similar prob before and it worked
