    Yeah, worked fine using ZiPhone on Windows.

    Tried to install the 'AppSupport' fix for phone number formats. And it said to install the BSD Subsystem.

    Although when I try to install BSD Subsystem, it tells me 'You must install the BSD Subsystem package from Installer first'

    Hmmmm.... anyone? :confused:

    EDIT: Never mind.. unaware I had stuff relying on the 'BSD Subsystem' in my queue! :D

    EDIT 2: Just saw the 'Notice' after installing BSD Subsystem - "Do not use password on 1.1.3. It is currently broken and will make Springboard crash continuously". Why didn't I notice that first time round!? :D

    hi, gonna head up to an 02 shop in Newry today and get a 16gb iphone - gonna unlock it to use with my 02 sim card down here

    Now heres the questions, lets say something breaks on the phone - how would the warranty work?, would i just 'virginise' the software on the iphone and bring it back to the shop with my receipt and ask it to be fixed/get a replacement?

    completely agree, however if you were to say, buy it online and forget;) to activate it , would you still be able to unlock it using ziphone?

    * Unused inclusive minutes and texts cannot be carried over to the following month
    ** Data use in excess of the 1GB allowance will be charged at 2c per MB excluding roaming
    *** Visual voicemail is not currently supported

    Not unlimitied data? That was the only thing that would make me move from my PAYG iphone, cause I use the internet on it so much. Thats stupid.
