Won't do, no. Would then be able to use it on any network. I was basically looking at selling/trading it in and getting an iPhone 4 which means an unlocked one would be better. At the moment I'm not heading iPhon3 4'wards though with all the problems, so looks like I'll be with O2 'til December and then start hunting for cheap deals on any network going. > I was sure I read that you had to sync with iTunes etc after O2 unlocks it > so I was wondering why. Interesting - I'm somehow not surprised yet not entirely sure why I'm not surprised. Cheers, Ian

When o2 send you the text, the next time you sync with iTunes it will tell you the phone is unlocked. I guess it's part of the unlocking process. With other phones you have to put a code into the phone so I presume iTunes does that. > > > Lynn > Live for today, as tomorrow is not promised -- http://www.dream-weaver.com/email.php Web development promotion and seo http://www.spaldingcomputers.co.uk http://www.overseasmovingsolutions.com/

When you get the text from O2, you put a different SIM in the phone and then sync with iTunes. I seem to remember iTunes will tell you then that the phone is unlocked. -- flavio matani guitar tuition http://www.flaviomatani.co.uk http://fflavio.com

The text itself probably changes a setting on the iPhone; maybe the same one that the jailbreak unlockers change. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm
