Okay, so here's the thing
I live in the emerald isle of Ireland. We DO NOT have iphones yet. However our buddies to the east The UK do. I've been searching personals and newspaper ads aswell as ebay etc for an iphone that i can make sure works before i fork out the ridiculous amounts of money people are asking for unlocked ones here! So basically, i'm just wondering, does anyone know if it would be possible for me to buy an iphone in N.Ireland (A seperate country to Rep.Ireland) who have the iphone under the UK o2 network, perform the All- o2 sim unlock and put in an IRISH o2 sim card... I realise that most of the phones in the UK are 1.1.2 so i'm guessing this would be the only OTB option. Also does anyone know if there are ANY 1.1.1 OTB iphones still available in the UK or was it all 1.1.2 from the start?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If anyone knows any good companies that deliver unlocked iphones to Ireland quickly (i really would like to get my hands on one by christmas).
So in summary: UK iphone - o2 only sim unlock - IRISH o2 sim card = working iphone?
