You will have to use a sim card unlock option because the software unlock does not with the stock 2.2.1 baseband

What is a sim card unlock option? Are there any links explaining how to use the sim card unlock option?

Thank you for your help.

If your baseband version is 2.30, u cant unlock as of now. If u r really desperate, then u can try 'hardware' solutions like a rebelsim. IF u do want to use this (a lot of people dont recommend it), then u can try ismartphone3g. I used it before the software unlock was released, and it seemed to work fine.

I am new to the iPhone wold.. and hence my dumb question.
Why do people not recommend rebelsim? What is ismartphone3g?

Thanks!!!

ismartphone3g is similar to a rebel sim, but it worked better than rebelsim for me. Just google it. I dont really know why its not recommended (i used it dint i? LOL). There are a lot of different manufacturers of this sim, so do a google search, find one that u can get easily (and one that works with iphone FW 2.2.1). Be carefull though, some of the sites are fake.

I had after several attempts with different SIM (yessim,turbosim and i-smartphon) cards I finally did with a SIM card called magicsim. which I bought via turbo-sim.com
The main problem with the first 3 sim cards I mentioned above was continuously losing of signal while switching cell towers...that was really frustrated! Everything is working perfect now I don't know if this magicsim is an improved version but everything works just PERFECT now! Also their support stuff has responded promptly to each support request I made.
