Where to buy Turbosim?

Good day mates!

I've been browsing google for a while and yet to get some great pointers. I need help. I just bought a iphone today from the apple store. I want to unlock it for T-Mobile service. I heard about turbosim, but I want it for a good price. Any advice? Anywhere to buy it for a good price? Please any help will be appreciated.


Or any possible way to unlock it to be with my T-Mobile network instead of buying the sim, any help guys.


Thanks

This is so confusing. I just want my iphone to get on my t-mobile network. I was going to purchase a turbosim but do I have to downgrade my software or just pop in the turbosim. I need to be schooled badly . I just bought the iphone today as well from apple

First off, can you tell us the first six characters in your serial number? (Not the whole thing.)

Read that some guy over in china town is selling NextSIM for about $50 or so. Either way, you'll need to jailbreak the phone first so do that and confirm that you've got 1.1.2 firmware on it before you go out and get *SIM solution.

Found this link that might be useful to you.

Yeah, you've got a 1.1.2 phone with the new bootloader. You'll need to jailbreak it so you can use a TurboSIM - it involves downgrading to 1.1.1, jailbreaking, then upgrading back to 1.1.2 and jailbreaking again. There's a guide here.

Yeah I figured I had the 1.1.2 but this is the verison that appears 04.02.13_G. Also when I do the reboot is asking me to reboot and upgrade. I hit cancel because I didn't want to get myself into something that will end up hurting my phone. Any advice? Also I just looked over that video, and its great. But the only problem I have is my phone only have the Itunes symbol with the usb cable plugin. Do i just do the same thing as the video shows?

^^^ Okay i figured the problem out. I passed this step. But now I'm confused. After downloading that 1.1.1 firmware it decompresses on my macbook, and when I go to click restore on my itunes that folder doesn't appear. I'm so confused on why the correct restore folder wont appear. I want this to work already.
