how did you test it? my wife has an iPhone 3gs. Could I swap SIM cards for a quick test?

Also, since the new ones come unlocked, will they unlock the old ones if we take it to a KT shop?

I think the other SIM needs a data plan. I tested by switching my buddys Sky phone's SIM and put in my 3GS, it had signal bars but no 3G and calls failed. However, i took my Korean 3GS to the States over summer and was able to use it on T-Mobile for their month-to-month plan (July)

KT told me for 3GS, you can take it to them if its less than a week left on your contract and theyll unlock. Or do what I did and use ultrasn0w to have it unlocked now.

If I take my iPhone 4 from S. Korea to the USA, and I have an existing account with AT&T, will I be able to use my phone in the USA on my AT&T plan?
