A lot of us are expecting 1.1.1 to screw the unlock , however the phones comes with 1.0.2 ( or lower ) on.

There are some easy unlock guides out there but i'm just going to do a video over the weekend as a walk through.

that would be amazing!

Has anyone that has imported to the UK had the negative black screen problem. I'm all set to import after O2 announced their 'special' tariffs but am slightly concerned about the screen issue now.

Hey,

Was watching the "How to activate your iPhone" video on the Apple site, and while watching a few question occurred to me, but I don't know if it'll change for UK people as it was concerning the AT&T New or Existing Customer process.

When this page is displayed, it says "Replace a phone on my account with this iPhone" - ok so that sounds good for existing 02 customers. Right?

On the next page, it says: "Select Your Monthly AT&T Plan" - with a list of the tariffs for the iPhone... which for the UK will be the £35, £45, £55? The it says... "If your an existing AT&T Customer you keep your current voice plan and just need to add the iPhone data plan."
But every 02 representative I have spoken to says that you need a new contract to use with the iPhone. I told them that i was an existing customer and they said that I would need to cancel my existing one and get an iPhone contract.
Why can't we keep what we already have (as its a great price i have) and just add the iPhone data?

I will be doing some videos over the weekend. We'll be throwing up a quick website to go with them as well just drawing on other peoples experience as with all the unlocks out there it was a bit confusing to start with. No worries step by step video online by sunday night ( all going well ) . I'll post the link on here.

Thank you so much. I (and everyone else) will really appreciate actually seeing the process. Won't be getting my iPhone until early October. But THANKS :)

Mms?

What do you guys use instead of MMS on the iPhone. I use MMS all the time - for when I want to send one picture to one contact :p

email ! and i'm not a great MMS'er anyways.

Not all phones support email or most ppl simply don't use email on there phones. I don't. I will no doubt use it more if I had an iPhone but if the person I want to send a pic too can only do MMS. I'm stuck:(

There is a video here about unlocking.
