I leave for the UK from America this saturday. Since it's obvious that an actual unlock is possible is it possible to get it privately?? I am willing to pay / donate as long as it's not an insane amount.

All, and I mean all, of the websites which claim they can unlock 3.1.3 (baseband 5.12.xx) are a scam. All they do is resell the free tools released by Geohot, Dev Team and others.
 
Thanks so all who have contributed to this thread. I have been scratching my head silly trying to unlock my 3G 3.1.3 06.02.
I got it jailbroken but fuzzyband couldn't unlock it..

Am I right in saying a solution should be days (maybe a week away)?

I will buy the new iPhone but I want to unlock my 3G to have when I'm overseas. Roaming charges with AT&T is too rich for my blood.

Thanks very much

Fuzzyband will not unlock an iPhone, and the bootloader has nothing really to do with unlocking. Your baseband is what you need to pay attention to which, in your case, is 5.12.01. You will need to wait until a carrier unlock for 4.0 is released, in the coming weeks.
On a side note, where did all of this misinformation come from?
 
OK thank you.

So I have to wait for the unlock for 4.0 to come out even thou I'm on 3.1.3..?
I shouldn't upgrade to 4.0 right? My old version will have an unlock before the new update will, correct?

Sorry for being such a tech donkey

JB and unlock is already out.
Upgrade to official 4.0 and then JB with redsnow.
Then install ultrasnow thru cydia to unlock.
