IPhone :: 3GS Uk Shop Sim Unlocking Advice
Mar 1, 2010
I recently came into the hands of a 16gb 3gs iphone with 3.1.3 and its locked to o2.Obviously it can not be jailbroken or Unlocked. so i thought so i popped into a local shop that claims it can unlock the iphone to various UK networks.the gentleman told me he can unlock the phone for £25!i thought great! and asked if it is a guarentee? he told me it was BUT apparently if you turn the iphone off, or it loses power for what ever reason then the Unlock will be reset and will no longer be open to all networks?

I can't take my phone into where I work b/c its a secure facility where absolutely no electronic devices (no beepers, no phones, etc) can come in, but its getting too hot here to leave it in my car all day. Any thoughts on what to do? There's a lot on line about not leaving the phone in a hot car but not many suggestions as to what to do with it!

I bought iphone 4 in April 2010 from a local shop in Houston TX, it was without any contract for 550$ and a locked one with AT&T sim in it.Then I unlocked it using Gevey sim and using it without any problem till date. Is my iphone eligible for unlock ? Although it was never with AT&T contract but I paid the full amount to buy it.
Info:
iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3

My iPhone 3G developed a crack in the plastic casing on the backside right at the bottom (by the connector at the bottom). I've heard that this is a design fault and happens to a lot of iPhones, and that (if it's within warranty!) going into an Apple store and complaining will get you a brand new one to walk out with.
The problem I have is that the good is no longer under warranty, but I've only had it for a little longer than a year and the fault developed well before that. I'm asking more for UK members here who know what recourse I have here - is it worth mentioning to the staff there that the Sales of Goods Act says that a mobile telephone should last much longer than the one year warranty, and as such they're obliged to replace it? Will they even have 3G's in stock as they no longer sell this model?

I'm becoming overwhelmed with too many app options for what I want, so thought I'd stop by here for some advice.
I've never used the native Notes app primarily because there's no (easy) way to create Notes on my computer for two-way syncing to my phone. (Also, I want a way to organize my notes into folders).
My long-used work-around for this was to use the Notes field in Address Book which while not ideal, allowed for easy syncing to and from my phone and made it easy to look up notes info on my phone. ( I created separate Contacts "groups" for the various categories of notes I have).
With the coming of iOS4, the visible notes field is smaller and now only shows 8 lines at a time before you have to start scrolling. So this isn't working so well for me.
What I'm hoping to find is an iphone app that will:
[1] Allow for creating of notes on my computer as well as on the phone.
[2] Two-way sycning
[3] Ability to organize notes within sub folders (or some other means)
[4] Allow for off-line viewing of notes (for when I am out of WiFi/3G range).
I've been playing with Evernote, but dont like that only "favorites" apps are viewable offline (although this isn't a huge problem since it just requires marking everything as a favorite). However, I don't like how the iPhone app puts all the notes in a big long list that requires lots of scrolling if you have lots of notes. (While you can group things in subfolders, they aren't collapsable, so you are left with a LONG list).
I've been looking into using Google Docs for this, since there seems to be lots of iphone apps that allow you to view them. Unfortunately, it seems like most don't let you view anything while off line which is sort of a deal breaker. (And the one that does allow off line viewing -MiGhty Docs- doesn't let you edit anything).
So far, NoteMaster seems like my best bet.

I've spent some time researching this but if you know of a thread please point me. basically researching it made my head spin.I have my own domain. Its hosted at register.com. I use their email client. Its web based and supports real IMAP commands so I use Mozilla email client on my laptop since Outlook SUCKS *** at IMAP. (sorry venting) So me experience with blackberry is that unless you use a BIS server A) you suck batteries and B) it slows the ***** out of your BB.Can someone give me some advice? Im on cricket and BB is new to them. Im not sure if I can move my domain to them. Im afraid to even call them as my blood pressure will skyrocket their support is horrible. but I do enjoy the pricepoint/value of cricket as Im unemployed right now and for $60 a month I can enjoy unlimited everything with BB service $40 without BB. which is what I have now. So what to do when you have your own domain and want the BB to operate well?

I'm just wondering whether or not to try installing the new software for my Vivaz (i think the latest version is R2CA024) Back in March I installed the R2AA030 via PC Suite, I did as the process recommended and backed up all my data, only to find that every app and game I had bought and installed to that point had been removed.
I contacted Sony Ericcson about this and they advised that the licences are removed when the symbian system is reset/updated. They were kind enough to re-apply the already purchased apps and games from PLAYnow back into my download folder, allowing me to re-install them. I have since re-bought all the ORANGE content and just took the hit on price. (PLAYnow content been removed again since re-download) If I try to update, am I likely to lose all the licences again? I really don't want to have to buy my apps and games a third time. Is the update worth the bother? NB. support says that apps and games can be re-installed from the 'installation files' folder on the MC, but I checked this folder is already empty.

i'm from italy and i've just installed on my nokia 5800 the new ovi maps suite (after having updated the phone firmware, now i have 40.0.005).I've already unchecked the assisted-gps option in "positioning".When i use Maps, the phone finds the signal and track my location perfectly; after having set a destination it starts giving me directions (correct) but, after a few seconds, asks me to go to the shop. Since i don't want to go online (my data plan is awful) i select "no" and the planification disappears, returning on the interactive map.
I'd like to know what to to, if there's a method to use offline navigation without additional roaming cost.

so I have the maps loaded onto my phone, but when I use the Directions (like sat nav) mode it quits after 30 secs with the message 'Enter Shop' or something like that? I am using the service offline - if that makes any difference?

This will show you just how far out of the "loop" I am but does T-Mobile have a microsim and if so or not, is it going to be possible to unlock the v4 to work with T-Mobile? Don't have ATT where I am. Still on 1st gen and T-Mobile.

I have a 3GS that was activated on AT&T. I closed the account and moved overseas, and have been using it as an iPod Touch + camera for a month or two.Now I want to jailbreak and start using it as my phone here. I'm running Jailbreakme, but then can I do the unlocking without an AT&T SIM in there at all? I might have my old one floating around, but it's probably been deactivated, I'd imagine..

There are just so many different scenerios and different options, and i'm somewhat novice, and i don't want to screw anything up, and to top it all off, i'm on a serious time crunch. so, down to business....i've got a 3g, with 3.1.2 and at&t 5.6 and modem firm is 05.11.07 it is jb.
Here is the problem: it's getting really pokey with all the stuff i have loaded on it, and i want to start from scratch. restore. but i'm scared to restore, because i don't want to upgrade to 3.1.3 because final outcome, i need to unlock as well.
What i want to do: restore to completely clean, then re-jailbreak, and unlock.

I have an iPhone 16GB 3Gs that I bought off a USA-eBayer a while ago (though I live in the UK). I'm with Virgin Mobile that 'does not' support the iphone, though when I rung up before the purchase of the phone, the team said though they don't stricktly support the Apple device, but iPhones generally work on their network.
I bought in confidence and my iphone worked floorlessly for about 12 months on the iOS 4.1 system, becuase I didnt want the hastle of unlocking my phone back for the Virgin Mobile website each time I updated through iTunes, i didn't bother. Evenetually I updated to iOS 5.0 (off the internet rather than iTunes) and since then my phone has really struggled to keep a strong signal, or indeed WiFi connection. It can have full signal but then it says 'Searching...' for a couple of seconds then will find all the signal again. This as you can imagine gets pretty infuriating when its happening 4 times a minute, and only when I want to actually use the phone.
Also the phone likes to turn off at any point, even if it says it has about 70% battery and was on charge all night, then it demands to be on charge before it turns back on again, sometimes stating that it has the '70% charge' it told you before, or a dramatically reduced charge depending on its mood.If I wasn't worried about it getting locked to the original carrier, I'd just plug it up to my iTunes and update it, but as it stands, I cant do that!

A friend of mine has an older iPhone (I'm guessing it's an 'original' iPhone,running iOS 3.1.3, using his ex's PUK card, but I could be wrong about that).He's using his ex's card because he inadvertently locked his original card sometime ago and forgot his password. Is there a way he can get it unlocked, possibly using a 'generic' "universal" password so he doesn't have to use his ex's 3G card (supposedly, his old PUK was a 4G)? He's used quite a few of the attempts he has to unlock it so far and only has perhaps 2-3 more tries before the car locks permanently.

I have an iPhone 4 and it was locked to O2. I recently contacted them to say I want it unlocked in order to use my Vodafone simcard and they simply sent me a text and I unlocked the phone through iTunes. I have now inserted my Vodafone microsim (brand new and working, it does on my other phones) and it says No Service no matter what I do!

I've bought a second hand UK iPhone 4s locked to O2 and I'm heading back to the United States in the morning. I need to unlock it to use my American sim, and wondered if I use the apple auth unlock system whether it' matters where in the world you are.
