Thank you (RJSummons18) for submitting this request to us!!! AWESOME FIND!!!
A couple of us were looking around in Cydia over the past few days, when we stumbled across a couple programs we thought would be pretty cool to test out!
So, this is how we did it ...
First off, we're using a 16gb iPhone 3G, running 3.0 firmware, jailbroken & unlocked for T-Mobile , and also, a 16gb iPhone 3G, running 3.0 firmware, jailbroken for AT&T, and we downloaded (Tricker ThreeG) and (VoIPover3G) through Cydia, and went from there!
We signed up with iCall (free calling over wi-fi), downloaded Fring (through app store) and Skype (through app store), and found out that , by using (Tricker ThreeG and VoIPover3G), we could make calls over T-Mobile's EDGE network, and also, AT&T's 3G network...
T-Mobile's EDGE network is EXTREMELY horrible when you're making VoIP calls over it, but it works!! , there's just SO MUCH lag, and it's very crackly on the other person's end... BUT, if you're out of minutes, and need to make a call.... this is the way to go!!!
On the other hand, AT&T's 3G network is AMAZING for VoIP calling, and we found that Skype is the best quality calling you can possibly get when it comes to (Cellular Data Networks), versus Fring and iCall (iCall coming in 2nd place), and we used Fring with (VoIPStunt)...
With AT&T's 3G network, we were constantly at a reasonable talking level, and neither us, nor the other party had any trouble hearing eachother... SO, we've decided to cut back on how many minutes we're getting through AT&T, (going from 900 to 400), and instead, we'll be using Skype for most of our calls from now on (as we're almost ALWAYS in 3G).
You can download these programs through Cydia, then restart your iPhone, and download Skype through the app store, but make sure you have a skype account before you download the app!! It's about $3.00 a month for UNLIMITED calling, and I (and 3 other guys) are saving roughly $25 a month by using this option!!
You can CLICK HERE to sign up with Skype and test it out for yourself!!!
Definitely an AWESOME find !!!
Perfect fit for ANY model iPhone !!
Alright guys, this might sound pretty crazy to you, but it works!!!

Most of us had speculated that it would be at least another week before the Dev Team had released any more information on Ultrasn0w, but it looks like (as of 5:00AM this morning), they have released the FIRST EVER software unlock for the iPhone 3G, running 3.0 firmware!!!
Here's how it goes:
- Ensure you have upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0
- Jailbreak your iPhone 3G using redsn0w or PwnageTool (this will also install Cydia/Icy)
- Run Cydia or Icy
- Please add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia or Icy. That last “o” is actually the number zero “0”! If you use the letter “o” you’ll get an error.
- Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia or icy and install ultrasn0w
- Reboot your iPhone 3G
- T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w
- Enjoy

The dev-team has come through once again, and finally released their tools to Jailbreak & Unlock the iPhone 3G running firmware 3.0 !!!
Here's the blog link:

I'll edit this post shortly, with links to downloads & etc...
Congrats to Dev's !!!
Looking to change the color of the text on your sliders ?? Well, it's not too hard to do , once you have a Jailbroken iPhone or iPhone 3G !!

(you must have Winterboard installed for this to work!)

Apple just released the 3.0 OS (firmware) a few days ago, and it seems like "just about" everyone has been sweating the release of their software to jailbreak iPhone 3.0.
In the beginning, they had planned to release the "new & improved" QuickPwn & PwnageTool (used to Jailbreak iPhone's & iPod Touches), as soon as Apple released this (3.0 update).... but they've ran into a little problem here recently that is going to push them back a few days..
This is taken directly from the Dev Team's blog:
Now, I know that EVERYONE is waiting on the updated tools, but everyone should be a little understanding of their situation, as they are doing this work 100% free...We have two issues that we’ve been trying to resolve:
- There are new 3.0 complications with YouTube.app if you’re on a hacktivated (unofficially activated) device
- There’s a bug in Apple’s new version of asr that our custom IPSW’s are tickling and causing crashes on, on some devices. (For the nerdy or curious among us, the details of that bug were tweeted by planetbeing a month ago.)
As of Thursday morning we now have a workaround for #2. For #1, we’ll try our best to get it fixed but we may end up releasing a preliminary jailbreak in which YouTube doesn’t work for hacktivated devices, and then follow that up with a more complete jailbreak when we can.
Just make sure you keep updated with iPhoneHacksNMods, and we'll let you know as soon as the updates are released!!
The Dev Team have already announced that they will be releasing UltraSnow, their software unlock solution for 3.0, on Friday... but will the delay in Jailbreaking devices push the Unlock back??
Let us know what you think of the whole "ordeal" in the comments section !!
THIS WILL UNLOCK iPHONE 3G
With the Gevey 3G Plus 2, you will never have a "NO SIM" or "NO SERVICE" issue, like most other turbo sim's ... and will continue to work the entire time it's in your iPhone 3G!!!
We've tested every Gevey 3G Plus 2 Turbo Sim that we get in stock, and guarantee them to be in 100% working condition, or your money back!!!
Cydia has released a new hack, which allows you to have 5 columns (that's 5 icons across), on your iPhone's springboard.
Well everyone, I haven't been around in a little while, but "personal stuff" is over now, so I'm here to stay.
Looks like the iPhone DevTeam has released Yellowsn0w, which is the first of it's kind to allow users to unlock their iPhone 3G running firmware 2.2 with baseband 02.28. You CAN unlock the iPhone 3G with baseband older than 02.28, but the DevTeam has exclusively restricted it to work with their custom baseband!
Basically, download QuickPwn, and jailbreak your iPhone 3G to the 2.2 firmware, or else download PwnageTool.
Yellowsn0w is available through Cydia/ Installer, good luck iPhone hackers!!
Are you an iPhone Addict? Do you frequently scramble for a power outlet to keep your iPhone alive? Has there ever been a time that you "almost" dropped your iPhone or 3G? If so, then the Incase Power Slider battery case for the iPhone 3G will be your perfect solution!! It's just like a normal iPhone case, with a twist!!. It also doubles the life of your iPhone battery, while the iPhone is in it's case!! Perfect solution for anyone on the go, or constantly checking e-mail!!
This new "battery" case has a built-in 1,220mAh battery, which allows you to recharge your iPhone 3G without cables, including up to 330 hours of stand-by time, 26 hours of your favorite music, 5 hours on your favorite 3G network, 10 hours on any Edge connection, 7 hours video recording, 5 hours 3G internet cruising, and finally 6 hours of WiFi connectivity.
You know how the MacBook Pro has the built in LED charge display? Well so does this case!!, but it's not coming out until November 28th, and should be right around the wonderfully high price of $100. So in conclusion, if you feel like shelling out the money, you'll get an awesome product that keeps your awesome product alive for much much longer!!
It looks as though someone on the inside leeked out the news that Wal-Mart and Sam's Club will be selling the iPhone 3G starting December 28th.
A report (the boy genius), has been informed of the Wal-Mart launch with details such as:
- Wal-Mart to be selling iPhone 3G Dec. 28th in SOME locations
- About 2,500 locations will carry the iPhone 3G
- Some stores will recieve live demo units, like the ones at AT&T stores
- 69 Sam's Club locations will offer iPhone 3G's
It turns out Apple WILL let other's sell their pride and joy, when they were supposed to be strict on just letting AT&T handle these precious tools in the beginning. AT&T will be by little brother (wal-mart)'s side as they launch the 3G, and all employees will have their hands full for a little while!!
Wal-Mart has communicated the following launch plans and execution timeline to their employees:
- New and existing customers in good standing can purchase iPhone 3G with a 2 year contract
- iPhone 3G transactions only will be processed through POS.com, not the kiosk
Execution Timeline:
- 12/2 – 12/5: AT&T / Wal-Mart MEM Classroom Training for Store Leads
- 12/3 – 12/19: AT&T In-Store Training
- 12/26 – 12/27: AT&T In-Store Refresher Training
- 12/28: Nationwide Launch
- 12/28 – 12/30: Wal-Mart and AT&T War Room Support
I personally love my MacBooks, but sometimes get frustrated because it doesn't have that "numeric keypad" on the side, especially when i'm typing in Skype phone numbers, or paying my bills with a credit card!
Balmuda has come up with an amazing software called Numberkey Connect, which you must install on your Mac in order for this to work, and then the Numberkey app is downloaded to your iPhone from the App Store. Their software allows you to use your iPhone or iPod Touch as a wireless numeric keypad for your MacBook. They have only released this for the Mac as of yet, but i'm sure it'll be on it's way to Windows in no time!
iPhone 2G Firmware:
iPhone 3G Firmware
iTunes
Pwnage Tool (unlock/ jailbreak using Mac)
WinPwn (unlock/ jailbreak using Windows)
QuickPwn (unlock/ jailbreak using Mac/ Windows)
ZiPhone (unlock/ jailbreak older firmware)
SBSettings 1.0 has been released with many new updates, and a redesigned interface, allowing the user to *theme* their own SBSettings into what they want.
It looks as though AT&T is going through with their plan to allow people to tether their iPhone 3G to their computer/ laptop via a wireless connection, but there's a catch. A $30 A MONTH CATCH!!
Japan is now loving the (i) life, with the new DLP Projector attachment coming to Japan's Apple stores Dec. 1st. Texas Instruments has just released word that this new DLP projector will be able to project up to 8.5 ft away, with an image at 60" !!!..
Well now, I know I've had my fair share of *customizing* my home screen, and trying to get my own custom theme going on, but it never really works out the way I want it to?!
