Unlock your iPhone 3G instantly
How many gadgets freak do you know who are not interested to own an iPhone. I do not think there are any. Apple iPhone especially the iPhone 3G has created a rage among gadget savvy as well as normal users. It is not only a mobile but a personal entertainment device on the go. But not every one is lucky to use an iPhone like those in US or Europe. This is because firstly till date iPhone has not been released worldwide and secondly iPhone is not sold over the counter in a gadget shop rather it is sold along with a mobile service. So even if it is released in your country you do not have the option to use it along with your favorite carrier and the carrier which provides iPhone charge an extremely non-affordable plan (outside US). For example an 8GB iPhone comes with a price tag of approximately INR 30,000 from Airtel and almost same from Vodafone in India. However the same phone in US from AT&T is available for approx USD 199.
To avoid this discrepancies and to make the iPhone accessible by general public the concept of unlocking iPhone came out. So let me tell about what exactly is unlocking or an unlocked iPhone. Unlocking lets you place calls with any GSM carrier by inserting different Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs) into the phone. Normally these SIMs from unapproved carriers won’t work. When your iPhone is unlocked, just buy a local GSM-compatible SIM, place it in your phone, and make your calls. Most phones in the US are “locked” to a particular network. In the iPhone’s case, that’s AT&T for the US, O2 for Great Britain, and so on. Should you want to use your iPhone with another GSM carrier, you need to unlock.
When Apple released the latest 2.1.1 version of the iPhone firmware it is no longer possible to unlock iPhone via software. But there are iPhone unlocking service providers which provides very reliable unlocking service. The method is thoroughly tested with SIMs from various countries and it is working fine without any hassle. So how does this method work?
The 3G iPhone unlock solution is a hardware unlock solution in the form of a ‘piggy back sim’. This hardware unlock solution is a plug and play solution that will instantly unlock your 3G iPhone. The 3G iPhone Unlock SIM is a super thin ( 0,01 mm.) sim card that slides over the sim card of the carrier that you want to use. It basically “fools” the iPhone into thinking that the original SIM is inserted.
The 3G Unlock SIM unlock sim card will not make any changes to the iPhone software. Its a simple plug and play solution. Just slide the 3G unlock sim on top of your existing carrier sim, and your 3G iPhone will be fully unlocked with all functions working. The main benefit of a hardware unlock solution is so you will not loose any warranty at all.

Interesting concept… I used WinPwn to unlock mine and it was a breeze, but I always felt sorry about the 3G guys.

Sadly, I’m one of those tech freaks who doesn’t own one but want one.
If only they didn’t cost an arm and a leg and 2 chihuahuas.

This is a good article and the iphone is great. The problem is they are on the wrong phone system. AT&T is terrible. The best phone systems are owned by Sprint and Verizon. Also, the Palm Pre has come out this year which will make a good number of people choose it over the iphone b/c of the better phone plan. It is also a fairly solid phone that competes well with the iphone.
Best,
Brian

I will have to join Ryan Rivera in the ‘want one, but have not got one’ category
They are very expensive, but the more I read about them the more I want one. I might just have to take the plunge anyways
Great post and great blog. Nicely done.

This definitely sounds like a cool method of unlocking the iPhone. I am running mine on Rogers so there is not much sense in me unlocking mine but for those folks out there that need the phone of something other than att this is awesome.
I wonder though, how durable is the sim cover that tricks the phone.
ie if you remove it from the phone is it just going to snap in peoples hands with the slightest of pressure?
With a width of ( 0,01 mm.) it sure seems likely.

I recently read a blog post about unlocking iPhone with jailbreak purplera1n and ultrasn0w. Are they the similar method of unlocking iPhone?
Comment by James on 9 July 2009:
Yeah I know they’re very expensive for me,
but I still love to get one of this 3G iPhone…

I was totally unaware that the 3G iphones can’t be unlocked with software, my ipod touch has not been affected with the 2.1 update or any other update. I thought there was an issue with the 2G phones not the 3G

Comment by igre on 7 August 2009:

Comment by Lower Back Tattoo on 10 August 2009:
Why need to unlock these stuff? Didn’t it unlocked by default? So what’s the point of buying 3G capable devices when it’s 3G’s locked?
Comment by Palace on 11 August 2009:
I think this is a great idea, but i’m just skeptical that Apple will continue to let users unlock the phone.
Comment by Adam on 19 August 2009:
Where there’s a will, there’s always a way. I am sure that Apple will come to its senses and will end the AT&T monopole; if not, we will continue to find new ways to unlock it.
