iphone unlocking advice

[5150]

Hi all,

Gonna be spending a lot of time in France from May onwards and was wondering if anyone had any good advice for avoiding paying large sums for data roaming / call making on my uk contract (o2)?

Heard the word unlock and jailbreak banded around, but it's all a bit double dutch to me!

Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks

Speak to O2, they're unlocking iPhones for free as long as you're a certain way through your contract, small charge if not or if you're on PAYG.

Download the Truphone app and use that (top up phone on your iphone).

Integrates with your Iphone contacts and basically gives you two phones in one.

A bit of Googling will explain the terms to you. As long as you have not downloaded the 3.1.3 update blackra1n will jailbreak and unlock it for you.
