Who activates an iphone?

If you just jailbreak it without changing the baseband to 06.15.00 then you can always restore it back to how it is now. You will only be taking a risk if you change the baseband.

It's more than likely that the phone will be blacklisted. If this is a UK handset it won't matter if you unlock it, it still won't work in the UK.

If in doubt call vodafone & ask them to check the IMEI for blacklisting.

OK mate.. looks like I have alot of reading to do

I am happy with its ipod features and apps available for now.. when I get fed up with it I will atempt a jailbreak to get the phone working

So can you tell me if it will work 100% if all goes well when jailbreaking.. or is there something like location that may come into play and affect the phone accepting a network again.. or cutting out again

Cheers

Thing is m8 your better waiting for an untethered jailbreak only one available to you at the mo is tethered which is a ball ache !!!
This jailbreak software I mention is if you want and are desperate to be unlocked network .....from your point of view I would wait for. An untethered jb and unlock,and just enjoy it for the moment....and keep reading

One other thing I should mention is the clock is always 1 hr ahead of time and only corrects when connected to the net... I think it may be a euro phone since they are 1hr in front of us and theres no day light saving option... unless this is normal, but then it says carrier O2 so this means its UK, right?

But how do phones end up blacklisted?... I know you can steal another phones IMEI number, but since they all start out with one what happens to the phone whos IMEI is stole?.. or why are they even stole in the first place?.. I mean don't networks not care as long as you have their sim in your phone and spending money using their network.. why all the blacklisting
