iPhone Unlocked (Really This Time)
| The current iPhone news making the rounds is that the company iPhoneSimFree.com has found a way to unlock the iPhone. It looks like you only lose the visual voicemail feature (an AT&T exclusive) if you use another carrier and you have to go through some additional steps to active the YouTube feature. Other than that, everything else works (Engadget tried it out with T-Mobile). Of course, now the speculation is, will Apple or AT&T try to block this latest uncovered hack? Update (8/26/07): Well, it seems that the answer to the above rhetorical question is "yes", according to this article. Update (9/03/07): In an interesting move, iPhoneSimFree.com, which is to being sales of it's software on September 4th, won't sell directly to consumers, only to resellers. Update (9/08/07): Yet more interesting news. According to Techomical, iPhoneSimFree.com, has been purchased by unnamed company for an unamed amount. Hmmmm.... Update (9/13/07): Yet more interesting news on the iPhone unlocking front. Evidently, the unofficial iPhone Dev team have managed to engineer a iPhone unlock called, appropriately enough iUnlock and are distributing it freely across the internet. And it seems that another programmer has developed a graphical interface to this program. |  |
