Unlocking should not cost you anything if you can do it yourself. but if you take it to any of the local shops around here be prepared to pay between 50 to 100 bucks may be? Not too sure on that but wont be more than that.

I will be arriving in Doha on Saturday/Sunday. I currently have a Iphone4, but i want to get it unlocked so i can use a local network and avoid huge phone bills. Any idea where i can get this done, and roughly the price??

smoke-i guess that's the same OS that the technician made in my old 3G iPhone..

anyway..i don't use it anymore as i have my new iPhone 4 now.. :P

I think i'll wait for the Iphone 5 which is rumored to release in June or July. :P

Ah ok but it was just the way you said it made me laugh :P I know doing a firmware update will give it features like the 3GS

Presently i'm running OS 4.2 and firmware 06.15.00.

in a way it will look somewhat 3Gs now if you will not scrutinize and check the specs of it..

smoke- i did not say you're wrong.. you are absolutely right.. the update will never change the processor but what am trying to say is after updating the OS.. the layout and other features have also been updated and similar to 3Gs features like copy & paste option..

By tryke• 24 Jan 2011 12:19

i agree with you 220v..... maybe some special features are added only... but since the OS has been updated the layout and messaging option is somewhat like 3Gs now... one feature of 3Gs that was not included after the update was the video recording...

Tryke buddy you are very much confused. Let me just say that 3G and 3GS are two different Iphone MODELS like the Iphone 4G you cant do a software update and think its magically transformed into the the 3GS, replace "Iphone" with any nokia for example and repeat your sentence to see if it makes sense :P

Also The iPhone 3G's processor is 412 MHz. The iPhone 3GS's processor operates at 600 MHz, 3G has 2mp cam while 3GS has 3mp cam. So you see its physically NOT possible for your 3G to upgrade into a 3GS :P

3G to 3GS ???

Impossible. Check the specs again.

The OS looks the same with few similar features

That doesn't mean it's changed to 3GS.

By tryke• 24 Jan 2011 11:44

smoke..stop dreaming..your 3Gs will never become 4G.. only 3G to 3Gs is possible...lol!

it's true.. i compared my old 3G with my friend's 3Gs and it's all the same after upgrading the OS.. don't know how the technician did it.. amazing isn't it?

but since 3G/3Gs is not possible to make it 4G.. so i bought a new 4G as well... i gave my old upgraded 3G to my wife...
