hi guys whats the best way to unlock a iphone 3g .

just got one and my sim wont be recodnised in it ,

so what is hte best way to unlock the phone, should i take it to a shop to unlock it or try and do it myself , when i search to do it there are so many websires and programmes , what is the best one

also can any one confirm does the iphone 3g have mms or do you get that when you unlock the phone or do you have to download a programme for it .

i have searched the forum but nothing like this is showing up thats why im asking ,.

you need to do whats called a 'jailbreak' on it, not sure how as i don't have one but a couple of guys i work with have done it and can do what they want with them now...

google turbosim Rob. Ebay do them. It is piggyback type thing which you slot your sim into, and then slot this thing into your phone. I can't vouch for them as I have never used one, but they are quite cheap that I remember.
They must be very thin.

all you need to do is go on youtube.

Type ''Dino Zambas'' as a user. And watch all of his videos to do with unlocking iphones.

Once you have jailbroken your iphone you need a source called ''yellowsn0w'' made by the dev team.

Watch those videos and you will know all!

if the phone was stolen then you would not be able to use anything.. The iPhone will become useless.. many thieves think if it gets blocked they can sell it as an iTouch, but the signal sent to the phone from o2 renders it completely useless..

yes you have to register it to download apps and tunes.. also it will sync with your itunes when you plug it in to your PC/MAC..

Register it.. if it then gets blocked claim your money back from paypal..

DJ_FACTOR....

You unlock it via the internet.. you need to jailbreak it.. google jailbreak its dead easy.. if you want to use it on another newtwork you have to get a turbosim.. if you are using it on anything apart from o2 its a waste as half of the capabilities are lost

here you go, jailbreak your iphone, then unlock it.

Internet tethering, install mywi, acts as a wireless router, or you can use it via usb, there's a few other progs if it's jailbroken.

Think it is for jailbroken Iphones only m8, worth jailbreaking just for this.

Is it possible to jail break the itouch as the same way as the iphone?
