US Iphone 1.1.2 OOB and UK 02 problems

[sjm1999]

I have just purchased a US IPhone, unfortunately running 1.1.2 and 4.02.13_G
modem firmware. (Week 46)

I know that there is currently no UNLOCK for this phone.
So far I have downgraded to 1.1.1, activated and jailbroken, then installed Oktoprep to then upgrade back to 1.1.2 and Conceited Jailbreak - all good.

It is now waiting for an Unlock when it is released....but was reading that UK Iphones do not need unlock if you have an existing 02 contract. I am on 02 already so is there anyway to get my 4.02.13_G US iphone working with an 02 sim? I am assuming that US and UK modem firmware is different enforcing the local Iphone carrier in that country?

i.e 4.02.13_G - US :Locked to any AT&T SIM?
4.02.13_G UK: Locked to any 02 SIM?

Does anyone know anymore or have a similar scenario?

I was hoping that it would accept my 02 SIM....but its not.

it will need to be unlocked

Uk iphones will work with any o2 sim once jailbroken and activated, same for US and AT&T
but you cant mix and match...
