I tried to get an unclock for Softbank here in Japan but ti was going to be over $200 USD. Apparently the Softbank unlocks have only been available for a couple weeks now or something. But I call BS if all these are only Apple server side unlocks. Shouldn't matter what country right? Why do unlocks for other countries take so long compared with other countries?
Could I use an eBay unlock for my iPhone 4 here in Japan?
If someone finally has an "in" to get SoftBank iPhones IMEI unlocked, they will charge plenty for it since up to now it has not been available.
Law of supply and demand.
If this unlocker gets some competition, prices will go down.
