I don't know, but I do know the TurboSIM I bought about 4 weeks ago doesn't work with it.
I ordered a new TurboSIM yesterday from
THESE GUYS. (you can pay through PayPal - PHEW!)
We'll soon find out if they are full of ****. I've had good luck in the past with TurboSIM's, I didn't have one issue for 14 months using one with my iPhone 2G.
This is my
2G iPhone:
This is how you know which firmware you are on. I am far to tired to bother taking my iPhone 3G out of the box to take a screenshot and post it here. Here's my
2G, to show you all where you locate what firmware you are on.
For your iPhone 3G...
Baseband 02.28.00 it bad!
Baseband 02.11.07 is good!
-----------------------------------------
You cannot go back to 02.11.07, if you went to 02.28.00. I know this to be fact, I tried everything at this stage.
-----------------------------------------
The only solution to a SIM unlock if you are on the "BAD" firmware (bad meaning locked like a prison) is a newer TurboSIM that supports this firmware.
I am yet to believe they exist, we'll see if this new one does the trick. I have my doubts, there's so many bull****ters on the web. Though when I did encounter a similar situation way back when with my iPhone 2G the TurboSIM I purchased at the time actually worked. From a dodgy chinese site called Spider-Foot mind you, who no longer stocks the things, since about 2 weeks ago. And they don't work either, they only worked on iPhone 2G. I remain cautious to get my hopes up.
DAMN YOU APPLE!!!
