Going to buy my UK iPhone - Please can someone help

This won't work I'm afraid. Only O2 SIM cards will work on a hacked UK iPhone at present.

You have to wait for a crack for 1.1.2 as the baseband in the current phones won't work with the downgrade techniques. I went ahead and signed with O2, but if you want to do otherwise, you might as well wait to buy your phone. Trust me, when 1.1.2 is truly hacked, you will hear about it.

You have 14 days to return the phone so all is not lost if you buy it today and the unlock does not happen.

Originally the dev teams were quoting last week as the release date for the hack, this has now passed and I've not read any recent update. I'd not think you'd have to wait a great deal longer.

I am thinking about the same thing!
And the free phone from the plan can be sell on ebay or just keep it as spare phone.
I think it's already the cheapest way?

Can we expect it to happen this week do you think?

It could be months off. It could be next week, who knows?

Apple have nailed this version down a little more than 1.1.1 it seems.

I wanted an iPhone, I don't need the stress and I wanted EDGE. I went with the O2 iPhone tariff. The rest is up to you I guess.

I'd like an easy jailbreak soon but I'm not worrying about it. I'd like an ssh client but the rest of the 3rd party apps are superfluous imo.

i may have found an even cheaper way if ur willing to move to orange

http://www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk/mobile-phones/sony eric./w810ipm/orange/dolph3512

they have 12 months free lne rental and give u 12 months cashback with 300 mins and 400 texts so all in all you pay nothing literally. you get all your money back via cashback. Its what im doing at the moment with my orange LG phone. and all the cashbacks have worked and have recieved all the cheques

Now if you take that contract out and ask orange to add ORANGE WORLD for £8 (unlimted browsing that is) it means that each month you pay £8 !!!!! for 300 mins 400 texts and also web browisng

how does that do for ya D

Perhaps I am not seeing the full picture, but is the whole process of unlocking etc worth that "saving" of £12.50/month?
You will be locked into an 18 month contract in any case.

Why not just sign up with O2 and be done?

look at my new post

also means i dont have to deal with o2

trust me on that last point

and doesnt o2 idea of unlimited data mean 200mb a month ???

You can get the phone unlocked so it becomes a wi-fi ipod, then you're just a click away when the unlock comes out. Go to iphone unlock uk.

i'm just using T-mobile at the moment (in germany) and im not planning to unlock anything in the near future... until i want to use my iphone overseas, but i have a nokia..

well, in the UK, I've always used vodaphone. i'm xenophobic to switch to another network. just personal preference.

Your O2 tariff for iPhone allows you unlimited use of O2 UK's Edge/GPRS networks and The Cloud's UK Wireless LAN network, for personal internet use, email and Visual Voicemail (VVM) on your iPhone only.

Nope. It is unlimited…

oh right, but £8 a month for 300 mins and 400 txts along with unlimted browsin just seems like such a better deal to me

Indeed it does. The W810 is no iPhone though

:S:S errrr i know that why im going to put that orange sim in an unlocked iphone.

So therefore my total costings for the iphone for 12 months would be 96 pounds and the handset price.

better than 35 pounds for 18 months

For now take out a O2 Simplicity tariff for £27.50 p/month including 200mb data allowance. You'll be able to use this until a unlock becomes available.

400 minutes, 1000 texts and unlimited calls to O2 numbers and only a 30 day contract.

Your plan will work with a US phone. For the moment.
