Hi, a friend bought a brand new not-yet-activated 3GS yesterday - thankfully with firmware 3.01. I redn0w/ultrasn0w'ed this for him to use on Orange UK, but he's having problems with notifications and signal stability because I didn't activate it with an O2 sim first (we're in the UK).

My understanding is that since the release of firmware 3.1, iTunes will not activate a phone running older firmware? Is this the case? If so, is there anything I can do to avoid upgrading?
