Unlocking iPhone 3GS

Is there any way to unlock an iPhone 3GS running ios5?

phoning up the network it's locked to and paying £10-£15 is by far the best way, it is also a permanent unlock and would allow you to update the software 100% risk free.

I had a (out of contract) secondhand 3GS locked to O2, they unlocked for free.

Here are some videos showing you how to unlock for the following UK networks, they apply to any mobile phone in general including iPhones - some networks have time or expense limitations such as minimum of 3 months paying £X amount per month on PAYG or £X amount of your contract etc...

Yes, as above really.

I would not recommend giving it to someone to unlock as they will probably just install a different baseband and use Ultrasn0w. It works for the version you are on, but you can no longer update the iOS via iTunes and generally is a pain.
