Does JailBreaking Unlock iPhone?

[Raj24v]

May sound like a silly question but I need my iPhone 3gs (previously in contract with O2) unlocked to all networks.

Will jailbreaking do this??
Or do I need something downloaded from Cydia??

Thanks

You would be better off unlocking it through O2, £15 on PAYG or free if your on contract with them.

I was in contract with them until I transferred my PUK to Vodafone yesterday.
I filled in the unlock form online a couple weeks ago but don't know how to finish the unlock??

Plug into iTunes. The unlock should have gone through by now

Thanks mate, I've tried this but it didn't do anything...

Am I supposed to do something once connected to iTunes or will it just popup itself??

You will need to restore the phone in iTunes for the unlock to complete.

Actually you should be able to trigger the unlock by putting a different SIM in the iPhone (a SIM never used before in this iPhone) then connecting it to iTunes. This worked for me, didn't have to do a restore or factory reset.
