So what can i do if i want to use the phone today and later unlock it? I have seen a company selling iphoneunlockuk.com selling software for 40 quid to any O2 sim but you said earlier that there is free software out there?
Thanks
Got a tip for us?

Thanks
The UK 1.1.2 phones can currently be unlocked to other O2 tariffs. Won't work out of the box though.
What do you mean by "Won't work out of the box though"
Have you seen the webpage that i sent you, do you know anything about them or know of an alliterative?
Please any more comments, I am heading up to the Apple store in an hour, can i unlock to any O2 Sim using the webpage above
save yourself that money get urself a case or something because the unlocking process of a UK iPhone to any 02 sim card is easy. http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15849
i did it to 2 iPhones and they are fine. (both on pay as you go 02)

Perfect, thanks very much for that, I will buy it this morning and give you an update when I have finished?
Does GPRS work for you? Some people in that thread are saying that it does not work. Then in this thread
http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17133
it is claimed that GPRS doesn't work for *anyone* in 1.1.2.
my iPhone shows the icon for GPRS but i don't have the settings required for it.
I definitely know it notices there is GPRS in my area it just won't work as i have not got the settings.
There is a thread that says it may work but i haven't had a chance to try it.

I mean, when you get the UK iPhone it won't work with any O2 sim. You need to follow the hackint0sh instructions.
Yep, they're probably doing the above and charging for the service. If you don't feel confident that you can get the instructions right maybe you'd want to do that for peace of mind.
I will try the free instrutions first and if I cant get it to work then I will try the bought one, but will all the great help that i have got from everyone on this forum so far I am sure i will be able to work my way through it
Thanks to everyone for all your help and advice
I tried this but when I got to the independance thing I was told i had the 7.5 version itunes and it wont work with this, i then downoaded something else to fix this but the instrutions are unreadable and i am stuck
, also when i tried to go to another page in the link above that link is no longer available?
Help
use the latest version of independance thing (its still a beta i think) if your running itunes 7.5
I tried that and still when i look for indapendance after loading the mobile device 7-4-2.f the independance is not highlighted
So anyone used IPHONEUNLOCKUK Software?
Hi guys, i am quite techy i guess and will be buying an IPhone next week, and then will probably get IPHONEUNLOCKUK software to Unlock the phone to use my 02 PAYG SIM. I've heard how easy it is to unlock without their software, but it just seems all over the place with about 100 pieces of software you need to download. I just don't want the headache and risk involved if I download and run the wrong thing. But has anyone out there actually given IPHONEUNLOCKUK a go? I guess I could be the guinea pig....

I am using it right now (all night in fact ) and still cant get it to work, looks like another 40 quid down the drain?
How do i uninstall the 7.5 version without loosing all my songs
Highlight all your songs in iTunes and then copy them to a new folder on your desktop called, for example, 'ndwgolf iTunes'. Make sure that they are all there, then uninstall your existing copy of iTunes before installing 7.4.2.
Once you have done that, go into the file menu on iTunes and click on 'add to library'. Find your 'ndwgolf iTunes' folder on your desktop and choose that. Voila, your songs will be added to iTunes 7.4.2.
Hope this helps.
