I bought an iPhone off this girl. She got a 3g so sold me her first gen for 100 bucks. But how do I activate it?

You'll need a contract, I think with AT&T.
Only the 3g requires a contract.
I activated it, and I'm with AT&T, and no contract. So yeah, you can beat the system. It's not even illegal to unlock it since it's your phone.
But you're not getting phone service out of it, right?

Assuming he jailbroke it correctly, then yes he has phone service.
Phone service, full phone service, voicemail everything.
I'm getting data, phone service, have the 2.1 firmware.
I dropped it yesterday though and cracked the screen. The touch panel still works so I ordered a screen from Ebay for $15 and am going to replace it. I'm considering putting a shatterproof sheet over it after I replace the screen and doing some cosmetic work on it.
I'm almost out of my 2 year contract and love this phone. The features it doesn't have compared to the 3g are features I don't even use so I see myself keeping this phone for a while. I'm going to sand down the chrome border, dye it gun metal, order a replacement aluminum backplate and change that to charcoal dark gray and then put the shatterproof sheet on the screen.
If you jailbreak it you can use t-mobile, but I don't think Visual Voicemail will work.
can you tell me how to jailbreak it?
