Can you not get a PAYG sim with data as a temp for your IP4?
The phone was brought over (new) by a relative who lives in Canada last week, and is locked to the provider (Rogers iirc) over there. Im dont mind too much waiting for the unlock but it *is* annoying

I use the equivalent of a PAYG here anyway (Gibtelecom - Gibraltar based), tried it on the iP4, nada....
