    If it was fully updated via iTunes normally (rather than using a custom firmware), then the baseband was updated too and it currently can't be unlocked at all. The iPhone Dev Team's latest comments don't sound promising:
    Jailbreaking and unlocking have two different security mechanisms, and if you update your 3GS (or 3G) to 3.1, you will lose your carrier unlock, possibly forever. Even if you downgrade from 3.1 to 3.0, you will have lost your carrier unlock. So if you think you’ll ever want to carrier unlock your 3G or 3GS (or maybe give it away or resell it later as an unlockable iPhone), then please stay clear of all official Apple IPSWs. You’ll soon be able to create custom 3.1 IPSWs using PwnageTool that let you pre-hack your 3.1 update in a way that preserves the carrier unlock.

    For anyone looking to unlock an iPhone 3G this might be worth a look:

    I got a 3G iPhone from a friend, who had updated it to os3.1. So I restored it to 03.0 jailbroke it successfully (with redsn0w) and then ran the unlock through Cydia. Unfortunately, it still wouldn't accept my 3 Ireland USIM, so I decided to do the whole shebang over. It's refusing to jailbreak now though.

    Very grrrrrrish!

    As soon as The Dev Team bring out a 3.1 Redsn0w, the better, I say.
