3GS 3.1 PAYG, Can I use my 3G O2 Monthly Sim?

Hi,

Sorry if this is a basic question.

I have a 3G iPhone on contract but want to upgrade to a 3GS and give my wife my 3G.

Can I simply swap the sims over or do I need to do something else? Also I get the impression 3.1 firmware is not possible to Jailbreak yet, will this prevent me doing what I want?

Thanks.

Adam

You can jailbreak using Blackra1n, there is a large thread here http://www.avforums.com/forums/iphon...ght=iphone+3gs


You can safely put your sim in, make sure you have an unlimited web bolt on included though.

You don't need to jailbreak to do what you want assuming everyone is on o2, but if you do, don't use blackra1n, use one of these files

Thanks, I take it the first page on that thread is out of date as it says you can't jailbreak anything above 3.0.1?

You can use any O2 sim with any iPhone, as for Jailbreaking as you see there are existing threads and a forum sticky so im closing this.
