Hi All,

I have an iPhone 2g which I unlocked for vodafone (uk) with ziphone, which is just fine.

I have just been bought a 3g iphone on 'pay as you go' with an UK o2 sim. From reading the posts one here, looks like I can jailbreak it so I can install 3rd party apps on it. But it looks like I cant unlock it so I can use my Vodafone sim. Thought I would ask this silly question just in case, so be gentle, please.

If this is the case can someone explain the difference in the 2g to the 3g iPhone as why one can be unlocked and the other one cant?

Thanks

newbie !!

You can use the vodafone sim card if u buy a sim adapter to make the 3G iPhone work , i have had mine working on Vodafone for the last 3 months and no problems , i have jailbroken and can install apps easily and still using 2.2 .

I would buy a sim adapter from www.any-networksim.com for £30 really good mate.

The difference between the 2G and the 3G from what i can gather as i am still pretty new to this is that the 3G version has an extra bit of hardware that needs re-programming yo enable the handset to be unlocked via software.

Let me know if you need any more info,

I work for Vodafone uk so should be able to sort most things out .

Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

So you used the guide on here to create a custom ipsw, used the sim adapter and then amended your 3g settings on your phone, right? Did you get your 3g setting off here somewhere??

My phone has not been activated before will I need to do this first via iTunes with a working o2 sim?

Do you mean here > NEW:iPhone 3g 2.2 firmware unlock - V3*-*Any Network - iPhone 3g unlocking

You read a lot of bad posts regarding these adapters, I thought they were a bit hit or miss.

Will give it some thought, anyone else have any comments?

Thanks

I sympathise for all the victims of Any-network as I am one. They are a bunch of scammers avoid them like plague unless you wish to loose your money. After 14 days the v3 arrived but it did not work I tried all the various manoeuvres but nothing worked. Tried to contact support on several occasions but did not get through only got voice mails. Sent several email did not get a single reply. They are cheats and scammers. I tried to make a claim with paypal and had the standard reply that they are unable to make claims for “quality of the goods”. They only act if the goods are not delivered. Dont pay using paypal you are better protected if you have paid using credit card. Call the credit card company and reverse the charges. If you are in UK under the distance selling act you are entitled to a full refund if the product is defective. We all need to file complaint with the trading standards office and teach these scammers a lesson. They have closed the blog and now taken out the contact telephone number from their website. Please spread the word around and post any other websites or forum details where we can put our comments. I have ordered a rebel sim and I will keep you posted on this.
