    Im on Orange.
    Had my i-phone 3GS unlocked by a shop specialising in unlocking.The only problem with the software was that it reset to manufacture default if the i-phone was powered down and needed to be unlocked again.
    It had trouble syncing with i-tunes with this unlocking software.
    If you get it unlocked make sure the software don't do this
    I have to own the phone for 3 months before Orange will unlock it.

    Steve, this does depend on the baseband version. If your iphone is firmware 3.1.2 or lower then google for blackrain otherwise you need to ring your current provider and pay them

    02 uk will unlock the phone for you, via i-tunes, if your on contract then it's free, and if your on pay as you go, then it's £15.

    This is correct. BUT there is a difference between unlocking and jailbreaking. Currently firmware 3.1.3 or later cannot be jailbroken.

    I dont know if you are all aware but unlocking and jailbreaking iphones has become alot easier comex has released its new jailbreak

    if you load safari and go to jailbreakme.com it will jailbreak directly through the internet.

    if you then load cydia and find ultrasnow and load that it will unlock to any network works even with iphone 4's now

    You mean jailbreak it first then unlock it...don't get them confused. Jailbreak is one thing (to allow itune to accept non official apps to your phone) and unlock is another thing.

    jailbreak

    all you need to known_http://thebigboss.org/jailbreak-now

    please read home page...re 4.2

    4.2 is about to be out. It’s nothing great for any of us. But it means iTunes will be prompting for an update, which of course you should decline. But the worst part….

    Due to traffic reasons, Cydia didnt present the ‘make my life easier’ dialog. So many of you do not have SHSH stored for 4.1 which means once apple releases 4.2, you will never be able to restore 4.1 again

    some good links...once you update and backup sync...at yer own risk

    Run Limera1n....small tweak to run apps (see...Hackulous below)needed after install but all good
    _http://thebigboss.org/jailbreak-now

    for Limera1n
    _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rDZmGTq4Kc&feature=relat ed

    For Hackulous 4.1 for apps...WOW

    enjoy
