If you are not careful like I was not, you can damage the thin sim if you force it. The damage caused the sim to crimp which made it even more difficult to insert. I tried tape but was afraid of it coming off when taking the sim tray out in the future). I discovered the technique of inserint the Any-network sim in the tray frost then slipping the carrier sim in when the tray was half way in works great. Ive had no problems with iTunes or any application. I recently lost my service signal and put the sim back in the Orange phone it came from and no service message asa well.

In reality if you run into issues that necessitate warranty work on the phone you simply restore the device with an official Apple ipsw. If you're unable to restore the phone then the phone most likely isn't bootable and they are none the wiser. I do recommend leaving the official apple boot logo intact instead of the pineapple for just this reason.

Although clearly there will be people unable to use it (warranty void when jailbroken etc.). Yup, works like a charm on multiple networks that I’ve used so far.

I used pwnage to create a custom ipsw to retain the 02.11.07 baseband. I'm anxiously awaiting tomorrow's soft-hack. From what I've seen in the past rebelsim delivers new firmware on a regular basis to stay ahead of the cat and mouse game and as long as you have/buy a card reader you're probably safe with their product...even on 2.28.

I just bought a used iphone 3g that someone has upgraded to 2.2fw with 2.28bb and was going to buy a turbo or rebel sim online but wanted to make sure it was worked. From what I have read about the dev team's release it won't help those of us unfortunate enough to have the 2.28 base band w/2.2 firmware, so we will still need proxy sims. @Goldie:

They have videos showing the process working. It does sort of work - depending on which network you're on and if you don't mind taking your simcard out every hour or so and putting it into an old Nokia to "reset" it. Don't waste your money on rebelsimcard.com @Ella – NO!!!

The iPhoneDevTeam has completed a true software unlock for the 3G. ANYONE THAT READS THIS SHOULD NOT UPDATE THEIR IPHONE FIRMWARE TO v2.2. If you upgrade to v2.2 via iTunes you will not be able to unlock the 3G with the DevTeam's unlock tool anytime in the near future. If you want to update your 2.1 or earlier 3G to 2.2 you must use Pwnage Tool on a Macintosh. If you update via iTunes your baseband will be updated and the software unlock WILL NOT WORK. This is great news for all with a 3G on 2.1 or earlier firmware. http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/65126957/tis-the-season-to-be-jolly BIG NEWS!!!!
