Read this earlier on the net, forgot to copy the link doh!
Anybody confirm this ?
You need to have had your Iphone on a 02 contract for 1 year then they will unlock it for ?15, seems an ok deal to me.

I phoned O2 on 6th Nov, to ask them about unlocking my 3g iPhone, as my 18 month contract ends with them 20th Dec, so I can go to another network & was told (no), as O2 are still the only iPhone handlers,
So I said that I will be ringing you back on 11th Nov & you better have a good answer then, so I can give you my 1 months notice to change to another network.

Oh man, that will be wicked if we can get it unlocked,

I wonder how that will work with Jailbreak situ to get the free apps, hmmmm, it might do the opposite & lock the bl**dy thing back up again...

How do you think that will effect you, recon you might get away with paying a ?15 unlock fee to Orange or summin, as you got yours from the States didn't you?

But just imagine, no more (ducking & diving) trying to get it unlocked after every Apple update...

Yeah man

I'll be happy to keep using a custom firmware and an unlocking tool,
but if push comes to a shove then ?15 is a small price to pay I guess.
As long as I can keep jailbreaking it I'm happy enough.
Let us know how you get on with O2.

I think i'ts only a matter of time B4 Apple will get that jailbreak/unlock hole closed,

did you see my thread about Apple's job advert for a security expert to secure the iPhone.

If the pay is good enough, who knows Holt himself might apply..

Will let you know what o2 has to say on Wed, when I phone them..

Here,
blackweather

Click on the (pc or mac) icon, whichever you have @ the bottom of page.

This is the new Blackra1n.
When it is on your iPhone, open it up & you have 3 options...

1. Install Cydia,
2. Install Rock, (faster & better than Cydia)
3. Install Snow, which will unlock the iPhone

Hope this helps

Just to report back, o2 unlocked my phone today for FREE..

[haggis_supper]

I went on the O2 page 2 weeks ago and posted details about my phone. I got a text monday saying I could unlock it.

Note : My Contract ends march 2010 so you don't have to wait.

I plugged in a Voda sim into my phone monday night, plugged into itunes and got a Your phone is unlocked message.

Voda sim worked fine. I then put the O2 sim back in and it worked straight away ( no pluging into itunes ).

Hope this is useful to everyone.


Forgot to add, my phone is jailbroken via blackrain and that still exists on the phone
