Hello,

Today morning I bought Iphone 3gs from a guy who i saw on gumtree website. I brought it home and decided to restore it and through its way it asked me to put in a sim card and i tried different companies and none of them work. I searched the IMEI code and it said it was blocked 2 months ago. What can i do? I want to use it as just an ipod touch and nothing more!

I managed to track the guys email and i asked him and he said try 3 sim card ( mobile carrier in australia). So i went to buy it, but found out it worth $10 and i dont want to waste that much money to find tat its not working.

Soo if i buy the 3 sim card which the iphone is locked to. could i go to the home screen?

sorry for long post..Thankyou!
