I've been with tescomobile and O2 for the last 12 months but am looking to leave as not impressed with the 3G reception I get. I'm in the South Wirral area if that helps.
I had to update with Ipad baseband if you want to do it the unofficial way on 3g. Not sure if this applies on 4.2.1 on 3gs though
Even easier filled in unlock request form a couple of times and today had text saying unlocked.
Result!
Official unlock is far better than any software unlock. If you can, avoid using the iPad baseband. I have heard you lose all GPS capabilities, the phone will then rely on WiFi or cell data for positioning.
Apparently some teams are working on being able to downgrade this iPad baseband ? I have read somewhere (cannot remember so dont have a source as yet) that this will be the only way to downgrade the baseband by upgrading to this first then downgrading.
I am unsure how true this is but if I find the source again I will post a link to it.
As of now you are 100% correct though .
I've just spoken to Tesco mobile and because my 12 month contract is up they unlock it for you for FREE so waiting now for an unlock code from them.
Its not a code that you get but authorisation that your unlock code is active
Once you get the message. Hook your phone in itunes and sync and should unlock. That failing, update to the latest firmware 4.3.3 and restore and it will unlock.
