    Many phone shops, not airtime providers like O2, Orange, virgin stores and the like, but independent shops that deal with phones may unblock it or a local market stall. Personally I have always bought unlocked phones they are more expensive but worth it IMO
    Someone please tell me what money is

    You cant unlock it with that modem version via jailbreak.You will need a network unlock around £15-£20.

    Good point, maybe a Gevey Sim might be an option if you can get one on ebay, but network unlock would be best

    What network are you with? A lot of networks will unlock them free of charge if you're in contract, I know O2 will, if you're PAYG there's usually a charge.
