Hi all,

Hope you can advise me.
I am thinking of swapping/exchanging my Nokia 97 for an 8Gig iphone 3g on O2 from www.cex.co.uk

Before I do I am sure there are things i need to know first.
I do not have an O2 sim so will need to jailbreak and unlock it.

Do i have to make sure I get a certain firmware version?
Or can all firmware versions now be jailbroken and unlocked.

Do I need to have a O2 sim in order to perform the jailbreak and unlocking.

When I turn on the phone will it complain and ask me for a sim to be inserted like some phones you cant access anything until you insert a Sim.

Sorry for what may seem silly questions but I am new to iphone and although i have searched and the process seems easy it does not say anything about if i will need a sim already..

Thanks.

any FW version can be jailbroken. just make sure you use redsn0w .80 as its the newest.

you dont need a sim in while jailbreaking.

youll be able to access 'things' even if you dont have a sim in, you just wont be able to make calls obviously.

I would agree with wabashman, it's a very simple process. If you just give it a shot, you'd be surprised how easy it is to do yourself.
