Many thanks for your kind reply 220v and others

The problem is that with my QTel sim card in the phone when I press iTune I get the message "Not supported in this country"....Therefore I am not able to create an account even a free one.

The other way when I go to download something it asks for an account to be created......... I am abit hesitant to create an account since I am not sure what will happen to the phone ie. Whether Apple detects the phone with another sim in it and knows it is unlocked and therefore locks it again??...I really don't know...

Has anyone been through this procedure I wonder?

Unfortunately I am new to Apple and the phone belongs to the wife.........
