    Default Unlock Turbo Sim Card

    Hello everyone
    i have an iphone 3g 3.0 with a boothloader 5.09.
    I know i cannot unlock it but i wondered if i could use a turbo sim for it?
    I ordered this turbo sim : iPhone 3G Unlock Turbo Sim Card - FW 2.2.1 GSM *New* - eBay (item 120475224495 end time Oct-29-09 22:30:06 PDT)

    and it says that the iphone has to be 2.2.1 fimware and i just want to know if the turbo sim will work with baseloader 5.09 because if not then i wont even waste my time restoring this iphone.

    Thank You

    I dont think its going to work even if you downgrade back to 2.2.1 as the bb is different......2.2.1 bb change 3.0 bb change 3.0.1 NO bb change 3.1 bb change

    PS BB = BaseBand

    if your iphone is 3.0 firmware and bootloader is 5.09, you still can jailbreak and unlock it using redsn0w. No need turbo sim to unlock it. But please don't update to the latest firmware 3.1.2 because if this happen you are no longer be able to jailbreak and unlock at this moment

    go to setting>general>about, and check your version and modem firmware(baseband).if the firmware(baseband) is 05.11.07, you will not be able to unlock yet, but you can jailbreak it using the custom ipsw. if the modem firmware is 04.26.08, go ahead and jailbreak your iphone with redsn0w and unlock it with ultrasn0w.

    However if you have 5.11.07 BB and a 5.08 BL, you can downgrade your baseband to unlock.
