I'm wanting to sell that old white 3gs iPhone we have lying around and the guy wants it unlocked. I'm guess that jail breaking it is the same, correct?
 
OK, since I've fulfilled my obligation with ATT. I've called ATT and they said they CANNOT unlock, give out the codes or do they even have the capability to unlock any Apple iPhones given they're agreement with Apple.

Shouldn't they unlock it based upon my contract fulfillment with them? I've done my 2 year contract and aren't they legally supposed to unlock it for me if I ask?

Does anyone know how I can unlock this Apple iPhone 3GS version 5.0. modem version 05.16.05?

AT&T unlocks any phone but the iPhone. What you're saying makes perfect sense but AT&T will not do it.
In order to unlock that iPhone you have to install the iPad bb. And that's not a good idea since it comes with many issues.

Thanks,

I've got everything I believe to be able to unlock it (Redsnow) and saved my SSH blob to Cydia's server. But what I'm unsure about it how to get a baseband for use on Tmobile. What baseband should I use? This is the part about unlocking I'm unsure about as I've jail broke some iPhones before but not unlocked them.
