I messed up my husbands Iphone, apparently. lol

We recieved it from Mobile Karma and it was perfect. Until I put it on itunes which tried to activate it, but we did not want the $30 charge every month. Now the phone is locked 'cept for emergency numbers.

I have tried pwnage, winpwn, redsnow, and quickpwn. They all need .ipsw and I don't have any. I tried downloading said files but it never works. Not even the custome ones.

Anything that I can do that would be simple and take away this headache?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds to me like you should just sell the phone.

Jailbreaking and unlocking the phone will possibly get you a cheaper data plan, but it still costs $$$ to use a data capable cell phone.

That's not entirely true. It's possible to use the iPhone without a data plan even if you have a contract with your cellular provider as long as you don't mind blocking all cellular data and using it solely on wifi.
