I did it first by restoring to Stock 3.1.2, then requested the code. In theory you should be able to use it jailbroken until you get the text, then restore via itunes and it'll work with your sim... in theory, that is :-) Yes, restore via iTunes.

I have applied for an official unlock code from o2 recently, and waiting for their sms. my question is, that I would like to unjaibreak my iphone, and then unlock it from o2 so that I can use other sims. Do i unjaibreak first using restore from itunes, and then go through the o2 unlocking process? or the other way around?

I'm on o2 Pay&Go and have had my phone over a year. How does one go about getting it unlocked by o2? And after that, presumably, are you safe to go back to stock iPhone firmware (un-jailbreak) and forevermore it will work with any SIM? I also need to still be able to use my phone on AT&T 'GoPhone' in the US, which I also now have working. Thanks...

I think you're thinking of the fact that 3UK isn't a 2G network, which is correct - but 3UK have partnered with a 2G network to provide coverage where there's no 3G available. What 3UK don't like is where the phone is 2G only - then they cut you off if you're using the 2G network all the time on 3Pay. Cheers, Dean Hi Yelsaw,

Where I didn't get coverage when I was away, I also didn't have 2G coverage as I was out in the sticks.. What I'd advise you do is install WinterBoard with SBSettings (where you can touch the clock and it pops out a quick menu), where if it does that then you can very quickly disable 3G/Edge and put it right back on.. I've just had my o2 Pay&Go iPhone unlocked officially by O2 within the last 24 hours (even though it's not 12months old yet), and I'm still using the .IPCC file (although tethering seems to now have disappeared). If you activate your iPhone with the sim it came with before you Jailbreak it, then the YouTube problem doesn't happen - it's what I was doing. Dean Hi,
