How to use the iPhone without a contract
How to unlock an iPhone for use as a Widescreen iPod + Wifi -- without a contract, and a $49.98 one time fee.The first step involves faking bad credit by typing in "999-99-9999" as your Social Security number during activation to trigger the GoPhone/"Pick Your Plan" option which allows for contractless pre-pay plans. The cheapest version of "Pick Your Plan" is $49.98 (rate plans).
Then, according to TUAW simply taking out your SIM card allows you iPhone to continue to function as an iPod + Wifi device without any further hassle.
Removed SIM entirely. It complains but works at 6G WiFi iPod. Tried placing call. "No SIM card installed". Failed. Connected to iTunes. Synced without any problems I could detect. WiFi fine.
Presumably, you could then cancel your $49.98 month-to-month and use the iPhone as a Widescreen iPod + Wifi device

How to add custom ringtones / system sounds to the iPhone
Requirements:- ziel's iPhoneInterface & jailbreak apps for Windows
- The iPhone software update package
- iTunesMobileDevice.dll
- A custom ringer that you would like to install
Now the package location varies so there's really only one reliable way to get it. Plug in your iPhone, and head into iTunes. Click the "Sync" button first (to be safe) and wait for the sync to finish. Then hit the Restore button. Confirm that you do want to restore (even though you don't) by hitting Restore.
Click through the dialogs but when the update starts downloading, unplug your iPhone. This will make sure your iPhone won't get overwritten.
Wait for the package to finish downloading (you can track it in the Downloads area of iTunes).
Now go to your Start Menu, click Run, and copy this into the Run box:
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
And hit OK. A file window should pop up containing one file that starts with iPhone. Check whether it ends with ".ipsw" - if it doesn't, you'll have to turn on file extension display by going to the Tools menu -> Folder Options -> View tab -> Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types". Right-click the iPhone update file and choose "Rename". Give it the name "iPhone.zip" and press Enter, and confirm that you want to change the extension.
Now double-click the file to open its contents. Extract them all to some folder, say "c:\phonedmg". The rest of this article assumes you extracted the files there.
iTunesMobileDevice.dll
This one's easy. Start, run:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin
Copy iTunesMobileDevice.dll into c:\phonedmg .
ziel's Jailbreak and iPhoneInterface software
Download the software from directly from ziel's website. Extract the files to c:\phonedmg as well. Move the files from the "win" directory into c:\phonedmg - the "osx" files won't be used here.
A custom ringer
You can use .m4a or .mp3 as your ringtones, but for some reason they must be made through Quicktime. Fortunately iTunes lets you convert any file to .m4a by selecting "Convert to AAC" from its entry in your music library. Then choose "Show in Windows Explorer" once it's been converted. Put these files in c:\phonedmg as well.
Running Jailbreak
Now that you've got everything you need, it's time to get started!
Make sure to close iTunes now. You don't want iTunes' helpful interface interfering with this delicate operation.
Hit your Start menu, choose Run, and type cmd .
Hit OK and a command prompt should show up. Type these commands:
c:
cd \phonedmg
jailbreak
Now Jailbreak should be running. Plug in your iPhone if it wasn't plugged in already.
Jailbreak should tell you that it's sending files to the iPhone, then ask you to hold the POWER and HOME buttons. Do that, but do it in this fashion:
- Press and hold the Power button until your iPhone says "Slide to power off".
- Slide the red slider and let the phone shut down.
- Plug the dock cable back in.
- If the iPhone doesn't turn on by itself, press and release the power button.
- When the Apple logo appears, press and hold both the Power and Home buttons.
- The phone will power off (keep holding the buttons!) and restart.
- Soon it will display a yellow triangle and the message "Connect to iTunes".
At this point Jailbreak will begin performing mysterious operations on your phone. Wait for it to complete and don't touch anything.
You should receive this message at the end:
Enjoy your newfound freedom. Thank the devs at #iphone next time you see them for making this all possible.p.s. Like most other useful tools, this one may be dangerous if used carelessly

Tricking iTunes for free ringtones (Windows)
First off, you need to go into your iTunes preferences and make sure that you have the AAC converter turned on. To check, go into the iTunes preferences and click on the 'Advanced' tab. Click the 'Importing' tab and under 'Import Using' should say 'AAC Encoder'.It's all set right? Sweet! Now pick a song that you want to get a 30 second clip from. Right click on the song and select 'Get Info' from the menu.
Just for simplicity sake, lets just say that you want the first 30 seconds of the song. You will click on the 'Options' tab and change the Start and Stop time. Click the checkboxes and change the Stop time to 0:30. Feel free to use any 30 second segment that you wish. Just note the start time and add 30 seconds to it for the stop time.
The hard part is done! Now just exit out of the 'Get Info' screen and right click on the song that you just modified and select 'Convert Selection to AAC' from the menu. Let iTunes work it's magic.
You will get a second song in your iTunes library ... but it will only be 30 seconds long! You can right click and select 'Get Info' and change some tags to make it easier to find in your iTunes library. I like to change the artist and genre to 'Ringtones' so that I know right where to find it.
Exit iTunes. Locate the file in your iTunes music directory and rename the .m4a extension to .m4r.
Once you have renamed the file, just double click on it so that it adds itself to your iTunes library again ... but this time as a ringtone!! iTunes will launch, and the ringtone you just created will appear in the Ringtones list. If for some reason you are having an issue with this the first time, you might want to check in your iTunes preferences and see if you have the “Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized” option checked. Having that checked will automatically create a ringtone folder for you.
An alternative to the double click method is to simply open iTunes, open your ringtones library and then drag the .m4r file from windows explorer or finder (on mac) into the ringtone library. Either method should work.
Make sure "Manually manage music and video" is unchecked if you are in the new itunes.
Works in my jailbroken 1.1.3.
