Activating an iPhone 3GS in a different country - GSM-Forum

solonpt · 09-09-2010, 17:05

Hi!

I have an iPhone 3GS locked to O2 (United Kingdom).
I live in Portugal so even if I use a genuine O2 UK SIM card I can't activate the iPhone - I found out the hard way that O2 UK iPhones can only be activated in the UK.
Is there any solution for this? Will a Universal Activation SIM card do the trick?

Thanks!

iPhone 3GS 16Gb
iOS 4.0
Baseband 05.13.04
Bootloader 6.4
Model MC132B/A
