I filled in the O2 website and then ran through the unlock in iTunes using a Vodafone SIM. My handset is unlocked and I could swap between the SIM's with out having to activate again. Not got an Orange SIM to try it woith

Hiya mate,

What did you fill in on the O2 website?
 
this is a slightly confusing thread..

i have a 3gs from oz that i use on vodafone (it is carrier agnostic)

itunes is requesting that i download a carrier update for vodafone.. not sure if i should do it or not!!

p.s. i am also jailbroken on latest firmware.

ta :eek:
 
try going to the apple store and say that your update messed up my jailbroken and unlocked iphone! lol.

It will be fine. It will just add the Vodafone UK settings to your phone. It won't lock it

*Edit*

Just tried a Orange and Virgin SIM at work, it asked for activation with both SIM cards. Works fine when O2 SIM is inserted.

Pretty crap using the term 'Unlock' should be classed as 'Migration assistance' :(

something wrong there, I've had the official unlock through o2 and I can use any sim I want, I even hot swap at times without problems, tried 3UK, Virgin, original o2, Orange and T-Mobile sims.
 
aha, but will it screw up the jailbreak, that is my main question..

cheers!

No. It will just add the Vodafone UK settings such as data APN, MMS info, Tethering info, set the voicemail key to dial voicemail, add Vodafone UK to the stock items and add shortcuts to dial customer service etc within the phone settings.

It will not affect your Jailbreak or Unlock
