Please, simply; Is it possible yet to UNLOCK the 3G for any sim card, any network?
I had a gen 1 iPhone which with PWN I upped to 2.0 and it works perfectly.
I Just bought a 3G OOB, but have no idea now if it can be unlocked!
Help please!

Many thanks

no, it currently cannot be unlocked. Wrong thread though.

I have also heard recently from a french friend who bought an iPhone from UK, that he called his operator in France and got his UK iPhone unlocked

(I wonder if I send him another one, he would be able to get that done for me? - Anyways not relevant here).

If that is true, then what do I need in order to unlock it officially ? Just get a French prepaid sim and use that to unlock the iphone that I bought from the UK ? Also I read in an other post that you can do this from anywhere in europe, so if that is true then I could get a French sim from ebay or something and unlock it.

No, wont work. You can buy a french one and get it unlocked for an extra ammount of money. You can buy an int. unlocked iphone like the one I use (mine is from Italy) - thats it.
