    the same thing, it just throws me back to the activation screen and sits there doing nothing

    That's not the same thing as 'safari cannot open the page because it cannot find the server'. My guess is that jailbreakme.com may be down, but jailbreak.unlockthatiphone.com is OK. Try again and again, using the latter site.

    Have you automatic lock switched off and do you slide to unlock and leave it there for about 5 mins? It only takes me 20-30 seconds but I have heard it can take up the 5 mins.

    yeah ive turned the auto-lock off and ive left it there for up to an hour without anything happening,it seems to be trying to do something as it gives a little flas after i hit install appsnap, just about 1 second after it throws me back but its not rebooting, ive tried turning it off and back on but still no joy

    You're getting 'safari cannot open the page because it cannot find the server' on jb.kotekbesar.com? Cannot be. The server is definitely up. In fact, so are both jailbreakme.com and jailbreak.unlockthatiphone.com. You can check in your PC's web browser.

    Since you're getting 'safari cannot open the page because it cannot find the server' on 3 different mirrors, could your local wireless network be at fault?

    restore and start again.Also if you have wep turned on on your router turn it off.

    Anyone get edge working with vodafone on non contract, ie. pay as you go?

    Thats correct, you dont have to sign any contract in the apple store.Your ment to do that via itunes to get the phone up and running but by passing it via jailbreaking it allows you to use the phone, but in order to use the iphone as a phone you need to get it unlocked so you can still use wifi,ipod etc till then.

    Dan, is it the same in the UK? Do you need to get an O2 contract before you leave the store or can you just pay for the phone and not ever take up the O2 contract?

    It's the same as in the USA.

    as Chrislad said its the same as the USA.

    No I never got vodafone edge working and a couple of others on here couldn't either. o2 edge worked perfectly though(but still really expensive!). Remember, vodafone don't even have an edge network(slow gprs and 3g only) so if you'll be using mobile internet you're better off with o2 as it's faster.

    Ok Amanda

    Just tried it again now and it worked first time

    Connected the iphone to itunes till itunes recognised it then disconnected it
    then did the #307# then jailbreakme.com safari crashed back to activation screen slide the unlock and left it there about 10 seconds later iphone rebooted and hey presto
    springboard with appsnap.

    Don't know whether the connecting to itunes helped but read it some where that it does

    I have a question about turbo sim, this may benefit others also. Can it be used multiple times. Say I use turbo sim so with my Irish sim card and at a later date I move to a different country, can I use the same turbo sim on another sim from that country?

    Also I found this matrix very useful for figuring out what can be done with the different versions of firmware.

    I've been thinking about ordering the sim freer for a few days but I've noticed their live support is never online and they warn not to order when they are offline. Anyone had any dealings with them? I'm starting to get a little suspicious.

    I'm having problems synchronising my contacts (Email addresses & Phone nos) with my iPhone. Its a jailbroken week 47 with the 4.6 bootloader. My friend with the exact same phone had no problems but it just wont work for me. I exported my email contacts from my gmail account and then exported my phone contacts from my current phone (samsung z400v).

    I cant get both files onto outlook for starters and when I try to sync my iPhone with the contacts currently on outlook, they just wont transfer.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?
