Best ways to use my iPhone overseas?

[Mr.Gump]

To All Reading This,

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to come to my thread and read my question. I am grateful for your time and your advice.

I will be moving to Bangkok Thailand for up to a year and I want to use my iPhone there.

Can anyone recommend simple to use quality software that will enable my iPhone in Bangkok with a SIM card purchased in Bangkok? Thank you.


it is important to me that the software be simple and pretty much push button stuff.

can I reverse any changes to the iPhone that might prevent it from being used on my home AT&T network when i return?

Unlock your phone. Only way At&t will know your phone is unlocked is if you take it into a apple store without doing a DFU restore.

If you have a 3g with firmware 2.2.1 you need to downgrade the baseband to 2.28 you can do this by....

Its impossible to brick your phone and its stupid simple to jailbreak and unlock your phone.

Enjoy

I have used QuickPwn to unlock my iPhone (2G first generation) (2.2.1 5H11) and it worked very well. I have a questions though.

Now that I have used QuickPwn and then used the iTunes restore to test turning my phone back to normal, will Apple bust me for it and know? I am asking because I did not do that "DFU" restore, I did the regular iTunes restore.

A normal restore in iTune should suffice, but a DFU Restore is more complete.

how would I go about doing a DFU restore?

Put the iPhone into DFU mode and then perform a restore in iTunes.
