Hello folks,
Against my best intentions i've went and bought another iPhone, this time its an o2 - UK model with firmware 1.1.2 on it.
So what i wanna do is get it up and running without signing up to one of those nasty over priced tariffs that o2 have for the iPhone.
What i would like to know is how do i do it??
Cheers
Super.

Unfortuantly for now there is only one thing you can do which is wait !!! as whilst the earlier versions have been cracked i don't believe this version has been seen in the states yet or therefore cracked as of yet.

Hi all,
I stand corrected as hadn't seen anything mentioned in the normal places but great news if it is true.

Am I missing something, but isnt the sensible thing to do wait until this over hyped toy goes on sale in France in its truely unlocked state?
My better half has for some reason decided it looks just the kiddy for her but I aint being conned into paying £800 for it in year one!!!!!! I am going to France on 15th December anyway so will buy one SIM free there.
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

Recent chatter said Apple may be looking to pull the iPhone from sale in France for that reason. however me thinks that would cause to many issues with Le EU. lol.

From what i have read the old iPhones have a different Base band so they can be successfully downgraded and unlocked again, these newer iPhones have a new Base band that so far can't be cracked.

dont believe what you read, it's not as straight forward as going to France and buying the phone at standard price unlocked ready for use, if it were that simple then all phones sold in France would be unlocked for any network...but they're not, so do your homework first instead of believing a few inaccurate headlines.

I think its most likely to be a french fantasy, if anyone is thinking that you'll be able to go and buy one and it'll just work.
The activation part is the important part in my eyes as thats when you sign up for the contract.
