I just got a brand new Apple Iphone 3G 16GB which the seller said was from NZ. i tried restoring and activating on itunes and believing what the seller said was an officially unlocked iphone, i updated. Now the set is locked on 2.2.1 (02.30.09 baseband) though I finally activated using an optus sim card i got from austrailia before now. if the optus sim is in, i get full network but it cant work with Digi or Maxis.....

My questions are can i unlock the set from here in Malaysia.....?
does anyone now what number i have to call....?(i checked the optus website and i'm not exactly sure....)
how much do i have to pay extra for that and how long will it take......?

sorry guys, i know its a lot of questions but i need some advise and can't just allow the iphone sit in a drawer.....
thanks in advance......

i called optus this evening, and they said since i have a prepaid sim already, i just have to top up my account with AU$120 or sign up for a 6 months contract. I think i'll take the first option though.....
that's more unexpected expenses for as it is.......

You'll have to make a RM1000 refundable deposit/top up in addition to the normal fees/charges.
