If you fix it maybe you could sell it and put the money toward a car that isn't sh!t?

this one's doing alright, apart from splitting a coolant pipe but that was fixed by the roadside with a screwdriver  :wink:

The iphone 3gs can use both micro sims and older size ones. Networks encourage you get a micro one as its a standard fault find process with tech suport if you use an older one.

Put you sim card in, edit the cell data settings and see if you can access the net. If you can but cant make calls, then it most likely black listed. iYou can still use data services with a blacklisted phone.

If it was blacked listed there are ways around it using a orange sim card  :wink:

it's not blacklisted, it's in good hands with Alec (off this forum), the power button is temperamental so going to order one from ebay so it works fully and a nice silicone case to go with it, my laptop would just keep coming up with "usb not recognized" after many things tried, so hopefully have a nice working iphone by the end of the week  :smiley:
