The Service Provider (SP) Lock menu is used to lock the cell phone to the SP’s SIM card. Once the cell phone is locked to a specific operator, if one inserts a SIM card from a different operator the phone will refuse to accept it! The cell phone will however accept another SIM card from the same operator.

Firmware 2.2 Jailbreak arrived and the story continues. A day after the release of the iPhone firmware 2.2. The iPhone Dev Team has updated their tools for jailbreak and unlock.

What can you do with the updated tools? In short:

  • iPhone 1st gen with firmware 2.2 you can jailbreak and unlock
  • iPhone 3G with firmware 2.2 you can jailbreak.

There are some special notes regarding to jailbreak of locked iPhones 3G which you must take under consideration:

Locked iPhone 3G – Preserve Baseband

"This applies if you have a locked iPhone 3G and you wish to update to 2.2 but preserve the iPhone’s current baseband software. Preserving the baseband will give you the maximum chance for any upcoming software unlock. To upgrade your phone to 2.2 and preserve the state of the baseband you need to create a custom .ipsw with PwnageTool. This custom .ipsw will not contain the baseband update but of course will still allow all the cool new stuff from 2.2.

There are plenty of tutorials about this process on the web, but PwnageTool contains intuitive graphics and easy to follow prompts that should have you up and running in no time at all."

Locked iPhone 3G

"If you are using your iPhone with one carrier and have no interest in the possibility of an iPhone 3G unlock in the near future then just restore or upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and use QuickPwn to Jailbreak and add Cydia and Installer."

SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G [section added 23 nov 2008]

"This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to Pwn and Jailbreak. This will add Cydia and Installer too."

Please goto the iPhone Dev Team blog, read the instructions and select the right tool for you.[iphonedev]

Accessory Geeks new Cell Phone Antenna page helps boost signals.

Can you hear me?” “No.” “How about now?” “No” “Okay, what about no –” “… hello? Hello?!”

Everybody now has a cell phone and when talking on a cell phone the words, “Can you hear me?” is a common phrase used by everyday cell phone users and not just by Verizon Wireless. So Accessory Geeks offers the best solutions to get more cell phone reception in more places.

Today Accessory Geeks has revamped its cell phone antenna section. In our brand new cell phone antenna section, shoppers can browse through the different sections which have been specifically created to get them directly to what they want. Our new cell phone antenna section has been split into five different types of shopping sections and each section has their own type of usage like the first one: a cell phone antenna resources section.

The cell phone antenna resources section is an informational section which customers can learn more about a cell phone signal booster, cell phone antenna, amplifiers and how to figure out how much more signal strength increase they want. The Resource section also helps answer some common questions asked about cell phone boosters, antennas, amplifiers and how to read the scientific term of cell phone signals like dB and ‘everyday language’ of cell phone signals like bars.

The next category down, customers can shop by an Application category. The Application category simply makes it easier for cell phone users to decided where it is they want to increase cell phone signals. Users can shop for cell phone signal booster and amplifiers as a signal booster to use in the car or in semis’, RVs, boats, or at home, office and in different kinds of buildings. With these different categories, customers can have these choices of selection which makes it easier to find and getting the right kind of cell phone signal booster for all the different locations available.

Another choice given to customers is by shopping for a certain cell phone signal booster products. These products can range from cell phone antenna adapters, coaxial cables, antennas, amplifier/repeaters, antenna combos, package combos or any other accessories related to cell phone antennas. By splitting the different products related to cell phone antennas, Accessory Geeks believes this will be a major help to customers who just want to find what it is they need. From cell phone antennas to cell phone accessories such as cell phone data cables, memory cards and a lot more. Customers can also get antenna combos created by the company providing the products, or can get a combo which has been created by Accessory Geeks and includes everything needed to boost signals. By providing combo packages prevents customers from buying multi-items needed and can now instead make one purchase with everything needed.

Accessory Geeks has provided customers with another choice by shopping for cell phone antennas by browsing for different manufacturers and brand name products in the cell phone antenna industry. Customers can shop for products by Wilson Electronics who are the most trusted brand name for cell phone amplifiers and cell phone signal booster, shop for Cellphone Mate products who are the second leader in cell phone signal boosters, for Wi-Ex zBoost, Kyocera and Digital antennas. However, if customers are not sure if a certain product will work with their phone, then our next category will help.

Our next category, customers can shop by carriers or whoever is providing them their phone service. Cell phone users can shop by the top six service provider companies’ like AT&T/Cingular, T-mobile, Verizon Wireless, Nextel, Sprint and Alltel. Once reaching the section, users can find their phone model and get the right cell phone antenna for their phone. With all this help, some wonder what a cell phone antenna does.

By getting the necessary items needed and installed correctly, cell phone users can find themselves with stronger signals and a large decrease in dropped calls. Using the entire cell phone antenna system requires an antenna adapter, inside antenna(s), amplifier, and an outside antenna and possible needed coaxial cables and connectors. This cell phone antenna system is the basic requirement for home, car, office and in any other place. By having all of this, cell phone users will find a great increase of cell phone reception in the vicinity of setup.

Accessory Geeks has split the Cell phone antennas page this way because it is one of the easier ways to help shopper find the right antenna they want to there would be less and no more drop calls with stronger signals.

Three major mobile phone deals are contract mobile phone deals, pay as you go mobile phone deals and sim free mobile phone deals. These deals have changed the mobile industry scene in the UK market. It’s both the customers as well as the companies, prospering together due to these interesting mobile phone deals.

One can find contract mobile phone deals with all the major mobile manufacturers such as Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Motorola.

This deal focuses on the needs of people from all the walks of society. It is generally for those people who prefer keeping the same handset along with the same phone number. In short people who like stability go for contract mobile phone deals. One can enjoy different tariff options with these deals. One can also enjoy different offers and packages with this deal. Some of the benefits in the form of gifts available with this deal are free line rental, half price line rental, cash back schemes, clearance deals, free iPod, Nintendo, free Xbox 360, movie camera, LCD TV etc. These offers attached with this deal, makes the deal more interesting.

Now talking about Pay as you go mobile phone deals, these are best for college students, or those people whom heavy phone bills scare a lot. People who use mobile phone for relatively lesser period opt for these deals. Under this deal, the person pays for the amount he talks for. The major offers attached with this deal are use your minutes when you want and super-phonic ring tones. Under this deal the consumers can change their plans easily. Another advantage attached with this deal is that the consumer need not enter into a contract with the mobile phone company.

It is true that sparkling and highly featured mobile phones cater to the wishes and requirements of the mobile phone users incredibly. Similarly, the mobile phone network providers also offer their various ostensible cheap mobile phone deals to the mobile phone users for shortening their inflated mobile telephony bills.

In contract mobile phone deals, the mobile phone users can blindly select any of the contract periods either of 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months or so on. Before enjoying the benefits of this cheap mobile phone deal, the mobile phone users will have to disburse a minimal amount as a security to the mobile network provider.

The next cheap mobile phone deal is 12 month free deals in which the mobile phone users will have to sign a contract with a mobile network provider for about 12 months. Initially, the mobile phone users are required to pay an affordable amount as a security to the network provider without any rental payment afterwards. Fortunately, the mobile phone deals can be made accessible on a number of handsets from renowned mobile phone manufacturers like Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and LG.
