iPhone 1.1.2 OTB working in South Africa

After seeing Colin’s iPhone working in SA I decided to buy one myself. The only issue is that all the new iPhones shipped with version 1.1.2 firmware on it can be hacked but there is no way to unlock the SIM card feature on these new versions. This means that instead of having a fancy new phone I ended up with a glorified iPod.
The good news however is that I managed to get a SIM from overseas that un-bricks my iPhone and now I have a fully functional iPhone working on the Vodacom network. (More details on this to follow)

Hey guys, should anyone stumble upon this link that is looking to buy a fully unlocked iPhone in SA running 1.1.2, drop me a mail on:
Dino@arigato.co.za
I’m selling mine individually for R7500 and in bulk for R7000.
Expensive but worth it.
Cheers! Dino

Gavin you should do a search on Google. I’ve seen the problem before but can’t remember how you get your installer icon back.

Hi Justin
I jailbroke and unlocked my 1.1.2 iPhone using Ziphone when I was in the UK and it worked great on the UK Vodafone network. When I came back to SA, I put my Vodacom Sim card in the iPhone and it doesn’t work. I can get a signal but I can’t make or receive calls. Could you possibly tell me more about the SIM you got from overseas? I’m getting really frustrated!
Thanks
