iPhone remote locked by o2

    I have an iPhone 3G which has been remote locked by o2 (as opposed to the standard network lock on iPhones).

    How can I unlock this? Is it different to the standard 'iPhone unlock' process?
    I'm going to try using the Redsn0w/Ultrasn0w software tonight to attempt to unlock it, but just wanted to ask in here first...

    Any help is appreciated! :)

    Not sure exactly what you mean by remote locked?

    Do you mean network barred? If that is the case, unlocking it will get you nowhere.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a rookie when it comes to iPhones...

    The phone says 'Locked SIM' in the top left.
    Its running OS 3.0
    Carrier: o2 4.0

    That sounds like the regular SIM PIN, nothing to do with O2 or the iPhone. :)

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you just need to enter the PIN to get connected.

    Try the SIM card in another phone to confirm.

    Try making a call, and it should prompt you to Unlock your SIM by putting in your passcode...

    I tried that, entered my PIN and now it says 'No Service'...

    I'll get the phone jailbroken/unlocked tonight and will try it with another SIM to see if that works...

    Tks for the responses guys! :)
