Okay. I have my iPhone 3G from U.S. So its a U.S unit. I'm planning to unlock it end of this year before I go home.

Looking at all the posting, I see that you guys suggest getting the Officially unlocked phone. Unfortunately, mine ain't officially unlocked, its LOCKED.

I'm guessing the software to unlock the phone (NOT USING SIM REBEL or whatsoever) is out. Is it still Ziphone software?

as far as i know, even the devteam still developing software to unlock the iphone 3g. so the software is out of question bro.

my advise bro... is to unlock officially...
or it will cause u such problem than u wanted to be

Unlock officially as in buy the official unlock set from Sg or other countries?

Hopefully the devteam will come up with the unlocking software soon ler.

Even if Dev-Team come out with unlock software, it's not 100% sure that you can fully utilize all the functions in your iPhone3G.

I've used Rebel sim (by-pass sim) before, call/sms works but not internet. Sometimes when i'm talking on the phone from my area to another area (quite a distance) there will be drop calls and sudden network lost. I have to insert my sim into another phone, it will still shows no network, I have to search network manually, then insert back to iPhone3G to get it work.

It had been months for Dev-Team to develop unlocker software, they have also stated there might be no unlock software. They don't promise anything. I understand that they work very hard on it but the security for iPhone3G is far more secure than the 1st gen.

Strongly suggest you to unlock it officially or else you might be facing alot of problems that you don't wanted to and frustrated. Another word, you will regret. Try to find open box unlocker. US don't provide official unlock?

If you're coming back to M'sia, I think you can check whether Singapore provide open box unlock. As I read some other LYN forumer stated that 1 of his friend bought iPhone3G from Vodafone (Australia) locked set then bring it to Optus (Australia) to official unlock it.

man... you have to wait for a long long time i reckon

U.S don't provide any unlocking service. Therefore I have to find my own ways to unlock the i3G. I thought they have the software to unlock the phone already. I saw some videos on youtube showing how to unlock. But not sure if that method of unlocking works with the network in M'sia. We'll wait til the end of the year & see what the dev-team comes up with.

That's jailbreak, not unlock. Jailbreak = allows you to install any softwares/games/apps in your iPhone3G. Without jailbreak, you can only install games from iTunes Store, either you purchase or free apps.

Oh gotcha. So basically gotta jailbreak & unlock my i3G right?

Jailbreak is depend on user choices...but Iphone 3G is must unlock for using in malaysia...

im out of ideas.... 1 current choice u have is using the sim adapter... i know its sound harsh.... but other than that.... u just better sell it and buy again in spore.... thats some alternative i see

can ask ppl frm apple spore to unlock urs but i doubt they will do/could unlock the US iphone.

wht if u just terminate the contract frm at&t?
maybe they will unlock it? hurm.... since ure going back in msia for good pon kan?

OK so I must unlock it first before using.

But with the sim adaptor, I can only make calls & sms right? That also, sometimes doesn't workds well. Now I'm beginning to worry about the unlocking issue. Darn it.

Terminating the contract with AT&T does not unlock the phone. They just cancel the service. Besides, I will have to pay a penalty fee of $175 because I terminate the contract before 2 years. But I ain't gonna pay that.

i'll try search and ask ppl how to unlock it officially. darn those apple guys are good!!

not a chance la
AT & T always like this
i hate them a lot
i was at the state when iphone just release
then i wait for the non contract for 2 whole month, as they did promise to release the non-contract SOON
nope, in the end i end up getting 1 8GB from china town.
as for back up / alternative if i cant manage to get from KL
i know string doing bulk tat time, but i hope AT & T kind enuff to release the unlock n non contract 1...
but...
end up, string tumpang already over, and AT&T no news
then lucky SG coming out the unlock set
i sell my US iphone on ebay here to a kid
then manage to get SG 1, even thou is 300 more than Strings tumpang thread
at least it's hassle free!!! and is genuine in every aspect!
some more is SG 1, perhaps if warranty also easier to claim ( as if manage to claim la, go receipt but i really doubt they will do tat warranty =/)


suggestion is to sell ur US set there and come back get a new 1,
if sell here, u better sell to those uncle that duno how to use iphone
else those fellow tat know how to use little will keep ask y call drop a, no this n that bla bla bullsh!t

Yeah they managed to secure it so well this time. Unlike the 1st gen iphones.

Thought of selling it on ebay & buy in S'pore. How much is it in Sg? Is it officially unlocked in Sg? So I can just buy the phone from Sg & inset my Maxis sim card, then can call already? If sold my iphone, maybe I'll get N96 lo. iPhone for gaya only IMO.

@P.I.M.P

Just check this thread if you're not sure of S'pore iphone set.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/768477 (look at the spoiler)

If CooLeRthings got his iphone from S'pore, the obvious answer to your queries are answered and many are using S'pore units here.

You can purchase a S'pore 3G iphone set from sellers in LYN garage sale and you don't have to head down to S'pore to buy it.

gaya, mutu & keunggulan
saw the iphone for sale at jaybee just now, rm 2999 for 8gb n 3999 for 16gb

N96 also around that price. Maybe I'll swap iPhone for N96
