I mainly want to jailbreak it so that i dont have to pay data plan, and ofcourse having free apps and games is always a plus. Hope getting a Capsule rebel will protect it if it falls =O lol[/QUOTE]

Your still going to have to pay for the data plan..

Okay, well, I never actually jailbroke my 3GS. I updated my jailbroken 3G on 2.2.1 to 3.0 and had the battery % thing and wrong app icons and stuff. When I restored my 3GS from my 3G's backup, I had the icon problem and I couldn't turn the battery % off. The icons were really annoying me, so I decided to restore as a new device. Will it look like I jailbroke my 3GS to Apple?

That has nothing to do with jailbreaking. Even if you jailbreak, AT&T still knows you're using an iPhone. You could take your SIM card out, put it in another phone, and then call AT&T, but once you start using the iPhone again, they're gonna know.

But even if you do somehow get away with it, it still doesn't matter if you jailbreak or not. Jailbreaking is just allowing 3rd party apps not approved by Apple to be installed on your phone.

Well i spoke with his ATT friend a while back, but i mean what he said wasnt wrong, the wrong part was that they can detect all iphones not just 3gs.

So why didn't you just buy an ipod touch? Thats essentially what turning off Edge and 3G does.. it makes it so you don't use any cellular network...

bosspref allows you to turn off edge and 3g so you are not using AT&T's internet BUT once you pop in that sim card into your iphone and it registers with the network, your iPhone's IMEI is sent to the service provider and they WILL know that you are using an iphone. it's the same with EVERY phone

I have had my 3G since it came out, broke it 4 times and been replaced (once was a warranty issue). If you restore it, they don't care at the Apple store. You shouldnt buy a Apple warranty anyways, buy one through a third party. They cover accidental damage and a lot better than anything you can get. Same price and longer coverage too.

Hell, the thing locked up and won't connect to the cell network or allow me to access anything on it one and I brought it in with a locked up screen with the apple logo. The system was jailbroken, had cracked apps, etc. and they looked at it for 5 min and gave me a new one.

My 2G bottom strip wasn't responsive so I took it to the Apple Genius bar, they took a look at it for a min and gave me a brand new 2G 3 days ago (I'm already out of warranty). I didn't even bother restoring the phone, it was jailbroken/unlocked.

Its more than just brosspref that does that, i can still make calls but i also have to do something else on the phone to remove the data plan.

As for the other post where can i get third party warranties?

Is there no way of deleting these files that get left behind using SSH or Diskaid?

Anyone that works for a phone company thinks they know more about phones than anyone. Yay, you are a 20 year old that works part time at a AT&T booth and asks people if they're 18 when they walk by all day.

You're still not getting it. EVERY PHONE HAS AN IMEI. Now, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO your phone is going to send that to AT&T periodically so THEY WILL know you're using an iPhone and you're going to get a text message saying you're using an iPhone without an eligible data plan.

Now from there, THEY CAN just tack the $30/month data plan onto your bill.

You cannot escape the data plan unless you can get a rare AT&T rep to remove it and block data but good luck with that.

I'm not trying to come off as a *****, I just think it's important you know that there's a 99% chance you're going to be paying for data.
