It’s finally possible to upgrade to the latest version of the iPhone software (1.1.3) in New Zealand. And it’s really straightforward - way easier than some of the previous unlocks.
- Sync your iPhone to create a backup of the configuration within iTunes (just in case something goes wrong and you need to restore to 1.1.3).
- Upgrade the iPhone to 1.1.3
- Follow the instructions at iClarified to Unlock Your iPhone with ZiPhone GUI (Windows). I used ZiPhone 2.2 on Windows and didn’t have any problems with SMS or dialing crashing the iPhone after the unlock.
- Open Installer and add the XK72 repository
http://xk72.com/iphone/repos - Within Installer, open the Tweaks (XK72) category and install all 1.1.3 packages - Caller ID update (1.1.3), NZ Phone Formats (1.1.3)
- Set the Region Format to New Zealand. Settings > General > International > Region Format
- Set the APN for Edge to
direct.vodafone.net.nz(leave Username and Password blank). Settings > General > Network > Edge > APN. - Change the Voicemail button so it dials 707 rather than nothing. Manually dial
*5005*86*707#.
