Got the wife a Iphone 3gs for christmas.
I put in her virgin contract sim(blackberry) & all seemed fine.
But i have now found she is unable to get a internet connection via virginmobile,i have contacted them and they say the phone is not supported.I can not change the apn settings,because they are disabled by virgin.I have found this site unlockit.co.nz which looks to have a fix.
Has anybody used this site? I am concerned its a scam.

    Ask the question but don't run off on the wrong tangent, get some replies 1st, VM are right, they don't support the 3gs, the reason you cannot change the APN settings is nowt to do with VM, get a resolve more locally , wait for some replies to the post.

    lol unlockit.co.nz is not a scam...How could it be a scam? There not asking for any money. All it does is install an APN profile for the iPhone. A quick google would have shown it is often used. I've even used it when using AT&T in the US.
