I purchased an iphone a bout a month ago it was 1.1.2 and i jailbroke it without any hardware modifications or anything like that, there are guides online.
If the phone has 1.1.2 firmware you can downgrade it to 1.1.1 and unlock it for any sim card. If the phone has 1.1.3 I am not so sure you can do the downgrade.

If you go out anad buy an iPhone today it will most likley be 1.1.2 ir 1.1.3 out the box.
If it is eiher of these, you can't unlock it currently without modifying the hardware or using a 'trick' sim such as turbo sim or stealth sim.

andrewyamp he wants to do more than jailbreak it, he wants to unlock it as well.

I used this guide to downgrade and then unlock from 1.1.2 http://tf.erzz.com/2008/01/09/upgrade-102-unlocked-iphone-to-unlocked-111/
It also explains the steps for 1.1.2 downgrade and links to another site for that part, but his overall explanation is best.
