Question iPhone unlock

Does anyone know where you can get an iPhone unlocked in Delhi? Mine was unlocked through ultrasn0w untill m kids synced it and upgraded to OS 3.1.2. Does Vodaphone of Airtel offer unlocking?

Thanks!

Dude you can do it on your own.
Just download ultrasnOw and Jailbreak, the installation and details are all online. I did it myself for my old one.

Done with the software "bandaids", want a permanent unlock. (also Dev-Team hasn't broken the 5.11.07 baseband yet)

Well I haven't been following it ever since I got the locked to India version and haven't complained since.. its worth the extra few thousands and the lock ...

Cheers

I just can't justify spending Rs. 30000+ to replace something that merely needs "repair". I do appreciate your input though, just not the direction I'm willing to go - yet.

Very Confused

Ok so you still need to get it fixed?
Goto Gafar Market. There is a line of shops dealing in Cell Phone Repair.
They can reload the software and load UltrasnOw and Jailbreak it for you

or just Google 'UltrasnOw how to jailbreak an iPhone' and you will get tons of sites that would guide you.

If neither of the above work for you. Live with it!

Cheers

Instead of using 'Ultrasn0w' use 'Blackra1n' - its the fastest jailbreaking and unlocking piece available now.

P.S: I do not re commend unlocking or jailbreaking but if you must ! u must !

Thanks everyone, Blacksn0w got it working, and I'm not going to leave it where the kids can get at it ever again.
