Okay, so I bought an iPad 2 32GB 3G and proceeded to jailbreak it without issue. Everything went to plan, Cydia installed, proceeded with Installous and other various tweaks. Fantastic.

However, as we know, My 4.3.3 blobs are not being signed anymore meaning that I cant save them to either Cydia or Tiny Umbrella... meaning the jailbreak I have is the only jailbreak Im going to get for a while.

The problem I have, other than being based in the UK, is that the iPad has a T-Mobile Micro Sim with 1GB data per calendar month. My iPhone 4 has a 3 Micro Sim with unlimited data, so the obvious choice is to place the 3 sim into the iPad and away we go. In the next couple of weeks I have been told that "Phoneit iPad" will be tweaked for the iPad 2 meaning that I can use both the call time and unlimited data in the 3 sim. BUT..... when I put the sim into the iPad I get 1 bar and no Carrier is displayed. I cannot use my unlimited data, the iPad will not connect to 3, however as soon as I place the T-Mobile sim back in, I get full signal and my crappy 1GB of data back.

Reading through various forums it would appear its a baseband issue, however I am new to all this Apple stuff (first iPad and iPhone) although I am not a stranger to computers.

I am looking for the simplest way to use the 3 sim's unlimited data on my iPad 2 by getting rid of the "1 bar no Carrier" scenario. I don't want to use the iPhone as WiFi hotspot as I want everything in the one device. I know there is an answer to this, I'm just not bright enough to find it myself (and believe me, I've looked!)

I know you guys know your stuff so ..... PLEASE HELP..
