Not into this turbo-SIM business at all.

Basically i need to know if i can use another carrier and what i need to do in order to do it?

Yeahhh...

the text that scares me in that add is this:

"Free your iPhone 3G for any GSM Network"

Does that mean it's not unlocked to use on 3G networks?

I'm sure the seller doesn't appreciate the difference between 3g and GSM, but yes, it works fine

do you need to jailbreak the phone to use a turbosim?
