to all interested iphone buyers, especially my friends..
this is an update, i dont know if you guys know this, but just in case lah. dont want you to waste your money..
when purchasing, pls check that what you are buying is an old model of the phone. take a look at the serial number on the box. mine is 7R737, the 4th and 5th numbers represent the week it was produced, thus mine is week 37. apple has upgraded the software of those from week 42 onwards to 1.1.2.
these cannot be unlocked at the moment.unless you want to pay about $150 to purchase the unlocking software "stealthism" from some dealers, where they will literally 'chop' your sim card up to do a hardware unlock. haha, yes, they will cut your sim card.
ah well, thank goodness my unlocking troubles are over. happy hunting.
