to shed a bit more light on whether or not you have a software unlock available...
it is the bootloader on newer OTB 1.1.2 iPhones that's stoping the software solution. iPhones after week 45 have the new bootloader.
You can check which week your iPhone is by looking at the 4th and 5th digits in the serial... ie - xxx46xxxxxx
And wouldn't you know it, mine is a week 46 model.
Can`t find edge settings...
I`m using an Iphone in romania with a new vodafone sim and it doesn`t work it doesn`t reject the sim but doesn`t transfer sim contacts or anything.The phone is unlocked and i used Iworld to setup romania as the usage country. The settings for edge don`t exist in mine only on/off button. Do I need a soft for edge settings like you specified in your post? Thanks much bro.

iPhone doesn't transfer the simcontacts or anything. It's nothing wrong with your unlocking. You'll have to manually add them or sync them from your computer.
i just unlock an iphone and it worked with a tmobile card but now it wont work with it. wat can i do?? its 1.1.1 and it has the data plan and everything. i dont know what i did that now it doesnt work. all i did was put the t-mobile wap key to use the network any help would be sweet.
hacking and unhacking
I am buying an I-phone, i live half time in europe and half time in america... it will be not so expensive for me to do an at&t contract, the cheapest version as i will get rollover minutes, and I will be able gain minutes as i will be gone at least half time.
Using the AT&T contract internationally is not a good deal so i will use the phone with my Italian Sim (TIM) as the phone provider with a data contract.
(i have a blackberry contract now which is for data 6 euros per month, plus the calling contract.)
the real question is if i come to italy, crack the phone, put in my sim etc. is it possible to reset it every time i come back to america and use the AT&T contract... do the good ol back and forth, choosing the best for both continents.
thanks

Thank you, I just got to Buenos Aires and I'm having problem unlocking a sim card here from Movistar. Can you please let me know on which local Buenos Aires company's sim card that have worked for you?
I will really appreciate it.
Thank you.
yes you just restore the phone and then do the whole jailbreaking process again
which is a pain

No need to restore once it's unlocked, at least with a true unlock method, preferably with an iPhone with 3.9 bootloader so that it don't need a sim hack.

I just bought an iphone version 1.1.2 and would like to know how can i unlock it?
i heard something about opening the iphone...can it break the iphone? what should i do?
Is unlocking with the sim free a good way to unlock or should I unlock by opening the iphone(hardware) or maybe wait for a software release?

you want to know how to unlock it? well you answered your own question there.
personally i'm waiting for the software unlock. but no one knows when that will be, even though there are people working on it it could still be a while off...
the hardware method would be okay if you're familiar with that sort of stuff, or if you take your time and read the instructions very carefully as there is the very real possibility of turning it into a very nice paperweight if something goes wrong.
as for the Turbo & Stealth Sims etc i refuse to pay so much for them, but it's the safer method to bypass the sim lock ATM...

I just used the above method to get the firmware version. The phone my wife got me has firmware version 04.03.13_G which would indicate I have a 1.1.1 but when I activated my iPhone this past Christmas, iTunes showed it as a 1.1.2 phone. So what's the real deal here? Do I have a 1.1.1 phone? I'm currently upgraded to 1.1.3. I'm thinking of jailbreaking and unlocking the phone. Which would be the best method for this phone? I've seen a bunch of methods online but would like to get some input before I jump ahead. I'm on a PC so I would have to use iBrickr. Thanks for the help.
well i suppose if you first went to activate your iPhone and it showed 1.1.2 then that's what you've got.
there's a few different ways you can unlock the phone now... i've just spent probably 8 hours this w'end and finally got mine unlocked... it seems like lots of the instructions leave out small details. but i finally had success using a PC, only needed the Mac for one part to snap it out of restore mode after restoring to 1.1.1. but i can't even remember what i did now... best bet is to check i.unlock.no, modmyifone.com and the Hackintosh forums...
good luck!

I bought an iPhone Saturday, unlocked it using the tutorial at

For people in the Midwest (USA): I have it working on Cincinnati Bell Wireless and spent 1/2 hour in the store figuring out how to set up Edge. But now it works and I have unlimited data and text for $14.99 a month
how did you set up your edge on iphone because i have it but it needs configured and i am having trouble
i have Cincinnati bell wireless too

So is there any fix to this yet, or are all iPhones after week 45 hardware unlock only? I really want to buy one, but i really need it to be unlocked, and preferably software!
I'm a Cincy Bell guy too. Great deal for $14.99 for unlimited data and texting! My AT&T an T-Mobile friends' jaws hit the floor when they hear what I get for $39.99/month + $14.99 with no contract.
I've pulled down 1.1 GB since November!To set up EDGE for CinBell, go to Settings > General > Network > EDGE. Once there:

Can anyone answer this question: with the new ZiPhone, should I be able to purchase a new or refurbished iPhone from the Apple Store and unlock it, or is ZiPhone 2.5 not going to work with the most modern BL or baseband?
Verizon & iPhone
This is my first post. I am a converted mac user after using a pc from the dos days. I would like an iphone but where I live the only good coverage is verizon. AT&T is here, Yuma AZ but the coverage is nowhere near as good. I'm a realtor..need my phone service to be excellent!! Is there software to make the iphone work with verizon? Thanks for any response.
