Anyone know how Data would work as far as charges go if one were to go with T-Mobile2Go Plan. A $100 refill- 1000min one year expiration date on mins would last me about 3 months based on my personal call volume. But the data would be the deal killer here.

Data won't work with prepaid Tmobile. It does work with prepaid ATT chip (also $100/yr), but is super expensive. Stick to WIFI. You could also get T-mobile Hotspot, and use their unlimited WIFI at any Starbucks, airport, etc.
 
okay i unlocked the iphone and i install this springboard program and it needed to restart the iphone. so i was like okay lets restart it since i unlock the phone already. right after restart the phone was lock back again i tryed everything like re ssh the programs to unlock it but it didnt work so i decided to restore it and that didnt work because ibrickr isnt working anymore. i was like wow this sucks and i try to restore again but now itunes isnt decting the phone in restore mode. Right now i get a yellow triangle with Please Connect to iTunes on the bottom and the loading or waiting circle spinning. I need help. i dont want to turn it off because im scared that it might brick the iphone.
 
T-Mobile

Where does one find this $19.99 BB Data Plan?
All I see on their site is:
BlackBerry Enterprise Server Plans - starting @ $39.99

BlackBerry Internet Service Plans - starting @ $39.99

Internet Only Plans - starting @ $39.99

SideKick® Data Plan - starting @ $29.99

any guidance?

thanks.
 
I've now tried 2 methods - the iUnlock GUI program on the iPhone itself, and the iphone.unlock.no method...both times unlocked the phone, so I could pop in my O2-UK SIM and it works fine.

BUT, both times, whenever I restart my iPhone, it seems to lose the unlock, and simply says "Incorrect SIM". I've tried taking it out/putting it back in, as well as re-activating with the new SIM, but it seems the only way is to start afresh.

Can anyone help please?

reset as in power off and power on or restore method via itunes ?
 
at&t user unlock

I'm an at&t user, but I was interested in unlocking my phone so I can use it when I travel out of the country.
I also have T-Mobile service, but I'm not interested in using the iphone with their slow data plans. at&t's is much faster. I'll stick to wifi when using t-mo.

I unlocked it last night using the http://iphone.unlock.no instructions on a Vista machine.

I can swap sims (at&t / t-mobile), made some calls, checked voicemail and everything seems to be working fine.
Wish there were data profiles that I can save for each SIM.

Thanks!

Power off/on. Also returning to jail knocks off the unlock as well (as this obviously power cycles the phone).

To activate? Yep, independance 1.1.1:-

-Restored completely to factory settings (1.0.2) using itunes, then quit itunes before phone restarted
-Took AT&T SIM out, then opened iTunes again to "pair" before using independance
-Put AT&T SIM back in, used independance to jailbreak, activate, and install SFTP/SSH
-Removed SIM
-Installed Installer.app using AppTap
-Set up Wifi inc. lock to "never"
-Installed Community Sources and BSD Subsystem using Installer.app
-Made sure still jailbroken after this
-Used Fugu to SFTP the 4 files into the iPhone's /usr/bin dir, then created /usr/local/etc and put the minicom.dfl in there
-Used Terminal to ssh into the iPhone, then run the iUnlock/commcenter/minicom stuff, which worked fine. Only error I got in the whole thing was after the first minicom command ("AT ...00000000" etc.) it returned "ERROR" rather than "OK" which it was meant to. I tried again as per the instructions (restarted minicom and ran bbupdater -v again [bbupdater returned ok result], but got the same error after the first minicom command, however after the second minicom command it returned "CLCK=O..OK" which is what it should do.
-Quit everything and ran the last "commcenter" command and then put O2 SIM in phone and it works fine. Just whenever I turn my phone off/on it loses it's unlock!
 
People if you use this guide for mac, then you'll be fine. It has links to all the files and programs you need. Just read the instructions carefully. It's really not that difficult.
 
Those having problems with App Tapp getting stuck, just start over, and be sure to quit iNdependance before you run app tapp next time. Happened to me as well, went back to step one after a refresh and app tapp took about 3-5 minutes and everything else went smoothly.

Do you have to actually return to jail before using AppTapp, or just quit independance (still jailbroken)?

Just quit. It just seems to me like AppTapp cannot access the iphone properly if iNdependance is connected to it....

Cool - I got "2-3 mins" for about 20 mins, Apptap just hung, so I returned to jail and all was well after that so I assumed it was because it was jailbroken. But I'll just quit ind. this time.
 
Hi there -

New to the forums. I have successfully unlocked my iphone using the http://iphone.unlock.no/, however, I would like to attempt to unlock it using the GUI method.

I installed the package to my Applications folder, and I get an icon and everything on my dashboard - but when I click on it - all I get is a white screen. Can anyone help me figure out what I did wrong?

Thx! XOXOXOXO
 
YAY got it - it was the lockdownd file - some of the methods don't mention it, I put it in the correct dir and all is well now.

Working on O2-UK.
 
Still stuck. :-(

:confused:

When i try my TMobile sim I get the error: Could not activate EDGE: You are not subscribed to EDGE.

Anyone seen this.

Anyone know the fix?

Thanks.

I can call out from my TMobile Sim. Just get the error when I try to get on the Web.

Also I can TXT. Just seems like I can't check mail or get on web.

Anyone using a Tmobile SIM from a sidekick 3?
 
t-mobile blackberry user

well i just purchased a 4gb iphone w/out activation. im hoping it will come with firmware 1.02, or at least i hope ill be able to update to 1.02 without activation.

i'm going to first try to GUI unlock program. i currently have the unlimited blackberry internet plan for $20 so I'm hoping that will work as well. i'll keep everyone updated.
