I have an iPhone 3G free by upgrade on my girlfriends phone account but she wants to keep her nokia (mad!)
I have a pay monthly account (different network) with data included but they don't do iphones.
So I have an un activated iphone which I want to unlock etc.
What is my next step? I think from what I've read I have to use my gf's sim to activate the phone (using itunes), then go through the process of restoring to install an old firmware, etc.
Is that correct or should I be doing something other than activating first with her sim card?
Currently I only have the emergency calls option on my nice new shiny iphone.
Very grateful of any help. Don't want to cock it up first time.
Thanks in advance.
