No, I'm in Canada one with bell and the other is telus. And there unlocking code is $80 to $140. For that I rather get a iphone 5. Any help on (Not bricking my iphone with a iPad baseband)?? With the new baseband???
If you attempt to install the iPad bb on either of these 3GS iPhones you will fry them.
Don't do it, they're not compatible.
xx129xxxxx and lower you can.
Yours is higher than that date and a guarantee it will fail.

Dnt bell and telus unlock iphone after a certain amount of time being with them? If not just resell them or pay for the unlock. Only way instead of bricking 2 brand new refurbished iphone.
I'm not with ethier company and they charging me $80 to factory unlocked it... Just thinking on it.. Weight my cost
What carrier are you on?
If you tell me, I'll find a good unlocking service for you. And 80 dollars isn't bad, anyway.
I'm on fido now, I did check out eBay and they charge ridiculous price. I see only AT&T is the cheapest but I'm in Canada and I get charge taxes so $80-100 and the taxes
Sell it on RedFlagDeals or Craigslist. The 3GS is pretty old, the sooner you sell it the more you'll get.
Always meet in person. Never ship to Nigeria.

I thought Fido and Rogers unlocked for $50 as long as your contract on the phone was done?
Telus unlocks for $35 but you'd need the phone on the network for 90 days. That being said, I believe they only unlock Telus phones as I had a hard enough time getting them to unlock my Apple replaced phone that was originally a Telus device. It wasn't in their database due to coming from Apple so they kept telling me they couldn't do because it wasn't a Telus device.
Unless something has changed recently, Bell doesn't unlock iPhones.
