I am trying to unlock my phone - this required me to download itunes onto a friend's PC in PNG. Now it won't restore the phone (which I have to do in order to unlock it) without downloading this 800Mb file, which will cost me approx AUD$200. Help.

I am trying to unlock my phone - this required me to download itunes onto a friend's PC in PNG. Now it won't restore the phone (which I have to do in order to unlock it) without downloading this 800Mb file, which will cost me approx AUD$200. Help.

Are there any other options out there?

Nope. You need an .ipsw file to restore your phone & since your friend didn't have iTunes, obviously there is no current .ipsw file to use. You can go to an Apple store, use your own computer, find another computer, but you can't restore without a current signed .ipsw file.
