    Help Unlocking iPhone on 3

    Hi, 3 disconnected me by mistake 4 weeks ago and I've told em to stick their contract where it dont shine. They've allowed me to cancel without paying my remainding 11 months contract fee's but they are refusing to unlock the phone so I can use it on another network. I've tried ultrasnow but that don't work. How can I get it unlocked?

    edit: it's a 4 on 5.01 and is jailbroken

    Thanks,

    Lee

    Just get someone else to ring them up saying they've bought the phone and want it unlocking. They can't refuse. If so tell em you'll report them to ofcom (or whatever the governing body is) . If they've accepted that the contract has ended early they can't refuse to unlock it.

    Thanks to liveseytowers

    Fleabay has unlocks you can purchase although they are quite expensive. Got one recently for my girlfriend and was done within 24 hours.

    If it's on bb 04.11.08, it doesnt look too good. I've got 2 iPhone 4's now IOS 5.01 both bb 04.11.08 and it doesnt look like it can be done, from what I'm reading. There's loads of fake sites out there, so watch out - it's like a minefield.

    I've looked into restoring back to 4.3.5 with iTunes 10.4 so I can get the SHSH blobs with TinyUmbrella and restore to a previous IOS / bb with a view to restoring it back to 5.0.1 but preserving the bb, but I'm not having much joy.

    The other one's stuck on registering the phone, but I don't have the original sim or know who the provider is - so cannot activate it. I can only access the main screen by cancelling out of a dropped 112 call.

    Try with a payg 3 sim in it.
    Normally its £15.44 for the unlock from 3, takes 2 days.
    You don;t need credit on the sim just a clean sim.
    They allow one handset unlock per sim..

    Just to clarify, downgrading the OS does not downgrade the baseband. There is currently no way to downgrade the baseband. Your options are a network unlock or the use of a sim such as the Gevey but they can be awkward.

    Contact Mobileman, he unlocked my iphone 4 for £45. It took 5 working days and all he needed was my IMEI number.
