Alright, I'm curious if I can jailbreak and leave my phone on AT&T - since I signed my balls away for a 2 year contract. I'm using a Mac...if possible, where do I get started?
Got a tip for us?

Yes, you can Jailbreak (and unlock) and not affect your current contract or service with AT&T.
Where do you get started? There are roughly a jillion threads on Jailbreaking on this forum. Do a quick search. Essentially, download QuickPwn 2.1 and follow directions. It's actually pretty straight forward.
I know, I didn't search. I figured theres a shotload of sites, just not sure if it's worth it, how does it effect the way I sync, etc. Risky?, bla bla bla

I thought that jailbreaking was ok, but unlocking could cause problems with AT&T service features - that's not the case?
You can jailbreak and unlock (2g only). Neither will do anything to your ATT service. Mine is jailbroken and unlocked, and I still use ATT.

Not for 2g phones at least. All AT&T features work w/AT&T-Cingular SIM.
AFAIK, All T-Mobile features seem to work? Not that there is much to work 😛
3gs haven't been software unlocked ATM so no issues 😀
I jailbroke both my 2G & my 3G
The 2G was on T-Mobile, and the 3G on O2 (obviously)
Depending on what iPhone you have you can jailbreak (an/or unlock) the iPhone and use it on any network.
Easiest way to jailbreak is to use quickpwn...search google
Wrong forum aswell btw 😉

I'm also a legit O2 user and jailbroke my new 3G iPhone the day i got it, I cant imagine living without winterboard, snapture, cycorder etc
The iPhone works exatcly the same if its jailbroken, you can still use all of the standard features 😎
Edit - O2 not T-Mobile, been with T-Mobile for over 5 years gotta get used to saying I got an O2 contract now lol 😛

OK, that's good to know. We're on T-Mobile at the moment but are thinking of switching to AT&T. It's nice to know we don't have to virginize our iPhones.
