speeding up older iphone 3G

[Michael Zacherl.]

Actually I pretty much ignored the iPhone so far ... ok, not entirely I looked at it a couple of times and evaluated it.

However, during my stay in Wageningen I had the opportunity to play with and actually use a 3GS a bit.
(thanks a lot to Kristin who kindly lent her phone to me)

So, pushing my ignorance aside the only thing which makes me hesitant is the price of a contract and the provider I'd have to choose.
(my current provider is a cheap one, no standing charge rather low call charges)

Seeing the next wave of hype already on the horizon I ask myself if it might be possible to get a used 3GS, jailbreak it and insert the SIM-card I already have?
I wouldn't need a mobile data connection for the time being and if that changes I easily could upgrade my existing contract (which is sensibly priced as well)

Would that work or is that a daft idea?

   Michael.
