as mentioned above, I would like to ask, if I purchase an iphone and unlock it myself and bring it back to Malaysia,
is this iphone works 100% or it is fully compatible to work with any telco provider in Malaysia? let's say Maxis.
Have anyone bought and brought back to Malaysia?
I afraid it won't function perfectly in Malaysia.
Thanks for your time!

its advised to get those manufacturer unlock(iphone 3g) so it save u from hassle
& its working with all telcos.. hehehee

it works , but updating is another issue

UK iphone 3G are locked. there is no official unlock from o2 UK so far.

The only way to unlock it so far is hardware unlock and it is not recommended as it might affect your telco signal/operation... (some forumer have a bad experience on this...)

This has been refraining from buying iphone in UK so far

If the iPhone3G is officially unlocked by Apple, it works. But if you unlock it with hardware, refer to my signature. If you planning to unlock it with software (which is coming soon by Dev-Team) i'm not sure but not recommended.

Once terbuka, everything also can masuk. Tht means once it is unlocked, no matter what SIM also can put in but must 3G SIM of course.

i m interested with "unlock myself"..hw do u propose to do dat?

The only way to unlock now is through

1. Hardware SIM- such as Turbo SIM
2. Buy hacker team Dev-Team -- Coming Soon... they have yet to successfully unlock iphone3G yet..They are still trying very hard.

Yea.. unlock by himself... means he should know if its working or not? my advice... go for officially unlock
but if its iphone 2g then can lah kan?

yes, it will works nice and clear.

use turbo sim coz UK phones are not officially unlock.
if not,jus wait for Dev team unlock...they are almost on it already.

for 2g user, the official unlock was very very fewer
thats mean almost impossible to be owned by our m'sian user . IMO laa


yep, Dev team gonna do em'
pretty sure bout this, its only the matter of time

dev team won't release unlock before get green light from apple.

Right, thanks for all the comment, what I mean by 'unlock it myself' is referring to sending it to any phone shops or any proz to unlock the 3G UK iphone for me...

So, this is not recommended for me?

sini also got pro la.

ouh ok... so still use hardware rite? it is not recommended still... but if u think its the best.. then go on...

hardware unlock only causes trouble...

N still no software unlocking mode for iphone 3g yet.

Huh? Is this for real?
Meaning Apple is actually allowing Dev Team to unlock?

Apple not allowing dev team to unlock when their sales are very good.

Er .. any source to back that up?

I found it abit ridiculous .. sorry to say

hahahah, yep sound a bit ridiculous but that is what happened. Source from others forum la. Never mind la, just put aside....
