Hello all. I hope this is the correct place to post.

Basically I bought an iPhone from eBay that was locked to 02. I knew there was going to be jailbreak and unlock software for version 3.0 so I upgraded it to 3.0, jailbreaked it and used ultrasn0w to unlock it. Everything went through fine, but I was un-able to make/recieve or text with Voda, T-Mobile or Virgin sim cards. I have a feeling that this phone is barred.

Is there anyway around this? I imagine the IMEI number is the same as a MAC address on a piece of hardware, if you change the IMEI number will this solve my issue?

Thanks for your help in advance. I dont fancy having a £300 iTouch!
