New to iphone need some help

[vjdebart]

So I'm looking at an I phone 3G 8gig tomorrow its in very nice condition and the seller says its unlocked and she has been using her T mobile sim card and the T mobile network with the phone. she tells me its got the 3.1 OS and works perfectly. Is there anything I should be looking for as I check out the phone? I plan to insert my sim card and make a test phone call other than that what other issues should I look at

BTW i do not plan to get a data plan just use WIFI from time to time

Thanks

Check the modern firmware (baseband). If it's 5.13 and below, you can unlock it with Ultrasnow. To find it, on the phone, settings > general > about.

www.iclarified.com tutorials has all the jailbreaks and unlocks also the dev-team blog and google and search work very well.

You can never be too sure with these sales. Check that the firmware and OS is indeed as described. Check the sound, camera, buttons, etc to make sure everything is working.

And don't rush into updating the firmware as soon as you get it.
If you do, you will likely lose jailbreak and the unlock !

This is probably the soundest advice you could follow.
