Hi, I am looking to buy a second hand 3GS as it appears it runs latest iOS and is cheapest. I have a contract Sim from TalkTalk (UK virtual network using Vodafone). It appears that the TalkTalk network is not 'approved' by Apple.
Here is what I would like to do. Buy a cheap iPhone 3GS from local second hand shop or from online auction.
If I get one that is locked to Vodafone will my TalkTalk sim work?
How does the activation work?
If I buy a non Vodafone 3GS can I jailbreak it then put my TalkTalk sim in and will I then need to activate it?
As you can tell I have only just started learning about iPhones as my existing phone is a not an iPhone. I have rooted my Android device and a second hand iPhone wont be under warranty so I should be fine using the guides here.
So what 3GS can I buy that will work on the virtual carrier TalkTalk (using Vodafone)?
Thanks for any help you can give.
PS any one recommend anywhere to buy a second hand 3GS at a decent price?
Thanks
