    Jonatne: Keep in mind - these are two different things .

    Jailbreak = keeping the original authorized SIM (AT&T, O2, etc...) and just modifying it so 3rd party apps can run on it

    Unlock = Putting any SIM from any carrier in and having the phone function.

    If you jailbreak and unlock your phone, the internet settings are (from what I can see) totally separate from the SIM. It just uses the Wi-Fi and accesses the internet like any other PC would. Email, Google Maps, Safari, etc... all work fine.

    I had a defunct non-active T-Mobile SIM card in mine and it worked fine, so I don't think you'd be charged for the data either. Obviously, no phone calls but that should work the same for an iTouch. (somebody correct me if I'm wrong as I don't have one)

    Right now, I've got my iPhone unlocked and jailbroken with Orange here in the UK and all of the functions work fine.
