Another way will be bluetooth your all contacts to Addressbook.app then sync to phone.

No need to JB.

Its a standard procedure on a mac addressbook.app / outlook for pc (i hope i am right here). I tried before bluetooth to addressbook.app it works.

Currently I have a unit which uses turbosim - no problem.

Go back to the guy who sold you the sim and ask for a replacement.

Ok. now i see the picture.
The turbosim which came along does not work with our local telco sim.
It only work with T-mobile or others US sim.

Locally you may have to source for one which work with our local sim.
Beware some may work well with celcom but may not work 100% with maxis common problem with maxis no service.

I guess there are a couple of brands in the market. Try it out first and ask for warranty. The latest you may not need to cut your sim card.

There are cases where turbosim got stuck while removing the sim tray just be careful.

I have seen now the turbosim been embedded into the phone means just slot your sim card and it works. So no more problem turbosim getting stuck.
I hope that will give you a better understanding on the turbosim.
Good luck.

Very well said.
Well it too late now since those who bought it locked, the only solution now turbosim.
While waiting for the software unlock.
For those early adopters back in version 1.0.2 - 1.1.0 which uses turbosim to unlock.
It just temporary measures and not long term.

Well we are all here to give and help for those in "trouble".
Lets not give a impression that he/she had made a wrong choice between unlock and lock phones. There is always a way to go round.

Use Pwnage Tool.
After selecting your ipsw file check activate phone. Go thru all the procedure and restore your phone.

If that does not work then look for other turbosim.

Totally agree with your statement.

For those 2G its life. For 3G you have a choice lock or unlock.
For locked well its a challenging way ahead for FW updates.
But no choice already purchased have to live with it.
No doubt a unlock version the best choice.

Look, lets not go out of topic on this issue.

Just help our friend here who need help.

OK. Once you created a custom ipsw file. From PwnageTool.
Hold option key and press restore. Select the custom ipsw file you just created and restore.

For the kill switch- you can disable the function from Boss Prefs.
So far I do not know how effective it is..

The restore button on your iTunes.

An understanding on the kill switch function.

It applies to all JB phones. Matter its lock and unlock as a whole.
Applies to those using unauthorized apps downloads Cydia or Installer or others beside those from app store.

On Summary page in iTunes.
Once you hook up on the left the device you will see iphone.
Click your device.
On the page you can see summary tab. Its there on version row.

PwnageTool to activate.
Just to make sure you are on the same frequency. I am on a mac.
Initially, remove simcard. Run PwnageTool.
After restore with custom ipsw then slot back in the sim card.

If you are on a pc. Sorry I have no knowledge how to create custom ipsw. to restore.

Just a little note.
In future if Apple release new FW update. Remove your simcard and you may update successfully. All your apps downloaded from Cydia will gone. From there you may have to wait for JB to release.

I done that from 2.0.2 to 2.1

Let me know whether it works for you.
