@shawna, Are you using iPhone 3G? I think you can refer to this guide and unlock the iPhone yourself. Let me know if you need further assistance.

@Rommerj, you're right. The best way to unlock your iPhone 3G is to upgrade to iPhone 3.0 and unlock it using ultrasn0w.

Hi Simon. I`d like to ask something. I have “accidentally” jailbroken my Iphone to 2.2.1 baseband 2.30.03, bootloader 5.9. Since there seems to be no unlock for it, I plan to “restore” to 3.0, update to iTunes 8.2 and from there jailbreak it once again and do the unlock. Is this the best route for me do? Any response/help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

@suzana, iPhone 3.0 has been released. So, I suggest you to follow this guide to upgrade. Just follow the instruction to backup the contacts/sms and you can restore it back after upgrade.

Hi – I have been using the 1st Gen Iphone and have unlocked the phone using Quickpwn22 from your blog. Currently I am running my iphone on 2.2 firmware. I am wanting to upgrade the iphone to 2.2.1 and keep it both unlocked and make sure there is no dataloss like contacts etc on the phone.
Is there a way to go about this?
Please suggest!!

I’ve recently jailbroke & unlocked 2 3G Iphones with bootloader 6.0 and baseband 2.30. I have basically taken the steps from your blog, however I was not aware of the bootloader issue at the time. So, I took a different solution for the unlock part and bought on Ebay the “2009 Gevey 3g PLUS 2″ turbo sim for $ 9.00. I was very skeptical about the turbo sim, but decided to give it a try and it worked as a charm with T-Mobile USA and a Dutch provider called Telfort (roaming in the USA via T-Mobile). Simon, thanks for all your write ups and keep up the good work !!!

p.s. Be sure that you buy an original “2009 Gevey 3g PLUS 2″ turbo sim. I heard horror stories about non-original ones, like not fitting in the sim slot or being stuck in the sim slot.

Regards,
Ronald

Does Verizon make SIM cards? If I unlock the iphone to use with Verizon, how then do I make it work through Verizon.
