[ ISSUE SOLVED ] 1st Gen Iphone Question

[XxHoM3leSSxX]

It's been a long time since I've hit dash with a stupid question so I hope I'm due for one (and yes I've searched, probably not good enough though) lol. I bought a 1st Gen Iphone from a buddy for 20 bucks. I've only messed with htc's and know absolutely nothing about iphones. I've read alot about the jailbreak programs and how to unlock them. My question is, if I get this thing unlocked, will alltel activate it? They run off of GSM, where the iphone has a sims card. So, do I also have to unlock the sim or just the phone? I asked a buddy of mine that works with alltel and he had no idea if it would work or not. He said he was not allowed to try it working at the store, and I would have to call tech support. He told me not to tell them what kind of phone I had, but to only give them the hex code. If I've missed this somewhere can somebody point me to the links or maybe even send me to a good site where I can find some of this info out? Thanks

Yeah, I coudn't pass it up. I figured even if it couldn't use it as a phone, I would have a really cheap touch lol. I didn't know you could get 325 though for a 1st gen. I might have to post it up on ebay lol. I work with this guy, he use to work for att and has a ton of phones. Ima see what else I can rob from him.
