Go to cydia n search for ultrasn0w if it is marked, it is NOT factory unlocked. Simple. U can also check the baseband

Hi guys,

I'm new to apple so I may sound like the rookie that I am but I need your help. Just bought the ipod touch 4G from the UAE but I'm a pretty fraustrated user right now. My problems are as follows:

1. I can't go to the app store or itunes - reason: Nigeria is not on the list of countries where the appstore and itunes are available so i can't conclude the setup of my apple account (I have a valid Nigerian credit card and all).

2. If I succeed in getting out of problem (1) above, I won't be able to use facetime because it's not installed - I understand it is banned in the UAE. I hear jailbreaking can fix this. Is it true?

3. The device is almost useless - internet connection is only by wifi. Is there and way I can connect the device to the internet using my laptop (Pc not mac)?

My Questions are:
a) Will jailbreaking be of any use to me? if yes, in what way? (BTW I just updated 4.2.1 to the latest software version a few days ago)

b) Is there a way to set up my apple account using my Nigerian credit card and Nigerian address?

c) Is there any way I can browse the appstore with my device?

Thanks guys. I hope I have made sense. Any advice you give will be most welcome. I'm happy to clarify any issues regarding my device.

on your iPhone navigate to Settings - General - Network - Cellular Data Network

[size=18pt]Things You Need to Know Before Buying Gevey SIM:[/size]
[list]
[li]It works if your network handles 112 calls properly according to the GSM standard. So before buying Gevey SIM, first step is to dial 112 from your phone and check the response.[/li]
[li]If your network validates your IMSI on every incoming call, do not think of buying Gevey SIM.[/li]
[li]Even if your network do not validates your IMSI on every incoming call, you still have to revalidate your IMSI if your iPhone loses power, loses the reception or move to another PLMN. In all of these cases, your TMSI expires and has to be obtained again.[/li]
[li]Not all 3G network will work, for example you will not see T-mobile with 3G service on the iPhone but you will see it working with edge.[/li]
