I need a simple answer please! x

[iphoneuser123]

Yes, i might sound like a n00b, but i've been googling and reading articles and googling some more, then a bit more, trying to find some sort of answer

And the numbers and files are all getting to my head and I'm about to give up!

So basically..
I wanted to know if i can possible unlock/jailbreak this iphone. Here are the details.

I use Windows.

Iphone 3G (8GB)
Locked on O2
current software 4.1 (8B117) - although i might upgrade to 4.2 or whatever the latest one is, if nothing is sorted.
Model: MB489B
Modem firmware 05.14.02 ( i think this could be the problem)

I want to be able to use my Three (3) sim-only contract SIM in this phone.

but.. Is it possible? I was trying to avoid asking someone else, but I really have struggled to find anything on this exact set of details!

hope you can help!
Love Rebecca xx

Afraid it can't be unlocked as it's on 4.1
It can be jailbroken fine with limera1n

Maybe try o2 to get them to unlock

ahhh damn!
thought you could downgrade possibly.
Not much point jailbreaking if I cant use my SIM anyway is there lol?
My jailbroken iphone's screen broke so i restored it and sent it to Apple and they sent me a new one back, 4.1

 

[localboy27]

The new software 4.2.1 is out now
There could be a unlock coming soon for that

Keep an eye on this section for updates

might just sell it on ebay or on the classifieds and buy a Blackberry Bold

It can't be unlocked via jailbreak
It can be done by o2
Read my second post

The unlock via Jailbreak will be released on Sunday for the 3G and 3GS so it's worth updating your firmware to 4.2 and jailbreaking your phone in the meantime.
