I'm in China now, and looking to get a couple iPhones from the local black market. Since there is no official iPhones here in China.

2 options

Hong Kong version iPhones no unlocking needed
US versions Needs to be unlocked but few hundred dollars cheaper! !!!

I found a solution at
http://www.unlocksiphone.com/index.html

Can I trust them and go ahead buy one

Thanks in advance
 
well, i personally haven't hjeard of any unlocks for 3g 2.0 phones, other then teh simhack those brazilians did. No software versions yet, so, I would be a little fishy about it to be honest. You'd think if they actually _did_ manage to do it, there would be a ton more news coverage...
 
Don't pay for anything. the iPhone Dev Team will release a version of Pwnage that will unlock the iPhone 3G (and 2G) for free in due course.

thanks a lot for the tip

but the fact is that i really wanna use them right now
and I can actually make some money unlocking iPhones for folks here...

just worrying about the site

PS. how to do i have to wait for a free one
 
lol. local black market. that made me laugh (when i went to china, everywhere = black market, so i assumed thats normal)
anyway, if u need it urgently then buy a hong kong one. (i didnt know hong kong doesnt have sim lock 0_o)

but if u want to wait a few weeks, pwnagetool prbly will release a 2.0 unlock.

also how much RMB is it in china to get an iphone? (curiosity 0_0)

ya... that's why im asking here....

damn
 
The ONLY way to unlock a 3G iPhone now is using a SIM card trick.

If I was you I would buy then locked and then unlock them for free with the devteam pwnage update when it happens... it will SAVE you money!

And I seriously doubt they are genuine as far as being unlocked goes!

anyway. yeah. dont bother buying. u can just download pwnagetool or iliberty or w/e and then unlock it urself.

if u want a 1.1.4 and below phone then iliberty, if u want a 2.0 unlock then pwnagetool.

i recommend not using ziphone. but thats prbly just personal preference.

LOL... i know.. i grew up here so my say is that Chinese ppl are cheap in a nice way so the demand makes the "black market" so huge

can we unlock 3G ones for free already??
 
yea. my bad i posted too fast, then i saw u sed 3G.
so how much rmb is it in china to get an iphone 3g (unlocked or not)

HK version is 8000+ for the 8GB and 9000RMB for the 16GB

US version I can get them for 5500/6300 for 8/16 from a good source LOL


Wanna do some business? how much to get an iPhone w/o contract in the US now... or get one with contract and break it

sorry for my poor english

eh.. hate to break it to u but thats a lil more expensive than US vsn.
US is 600/700 USD (no contract) so its only around 4100/4775 RMB.
