iPhone 3G: Staying Unlocked
Two quick notes about keeping your iPhone 3G unlocked (see my previous post for how to achieve this).
If you turn your phone off, it may not be able to re-establish a connection to your service provider. It will act as if it were locked. Follow the directions in my previous post for what to do when you have trouble connecting to your provider. These simple steps, using BossPrefs, YellowsnOw commands entered through the terminal application, and flight mode toggling through Preferences.
Note that there is a new iPhone software release, 2.2.1. Do NOT install this release or you will lose your unlock. When you are dealing with an unlocked phone never install an update from Apple until you are sure you can maintain, or re-establish your unlocked state with that update. Currently, 2.2.1 does not have an unlock method available. So wait. See news.softpedia.com for more information.
