Many cell phone services in other cuntries do not offer wifi services.
How do I install or unlock this phone without wifi service?
When answering remember I am a novice.

I am just wondering do you mean no Wifi service with the phone company or do you mean no Wifi service anywhere? Can you use any Wifi service available or does that have to be with the cell phone provider? I am also a novice and I am curious.

Wifi service anywhere

Has anyone tried the yellowsn0w software? I run it last night on my iPhone 3G, firmware 2.2 and it unlocked it, but it wont pick up any signal, i'm trying to use it on TMobile.. any ideas anyone?

thanks i semi bricked mine, but i could fix it with this guide

I have the 2.3 baseband what do I do?

You can now downgrade iPhone baseband and unlock it using YellowSn0w as usual.

I got a 3G iphone 8G that has version 2.2(5G77) firmware 02.28.00 . I noticed that this iphone keeps dropping wi-fi signal. I have an older iphone 2G that is having full signal throughout my apt. but the 3G does not. Even in the same room where the router is I don't have full signal on the 3G. All my Iphones are unlocked and jailbroken both have Cyndia. Could be this wifi issue fixed by downgrading to 2.1 on the 3G ? If so what is the easiest way?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Is there such a thing out there? If so where can I find it.
