I just got the iPhone 4s for at&t, so it has all the new updates including the base band and firmware. How can I unlock it so I can use a different Sim card? I am going overseas soon and do not want to have to pay the overseas charges.
Got a tip for us?

the only options right now is buying a factory unlocked or asking your carrier if you are with at&T don't bother Sprint and Verizon will unlock the GSM network for overseas travel if there terms are met but you will still be prevented from at&t. CDMA networks can not be unlocked.
It cost me $649 to unlock my Iphone 4S, 16gb. The good thing is I do not need to worry about it locks up to any carrier when upgrading/restoring.

And TS is AT&T so we can forget a carrier unlock there. sell it buy a factory unlock bestway to go.. Also highest resale value!
Well thats not strictly true Vodafone have unlocked both my 64gbs and and both 32gbs as well. Took 48hrs but they are unlocked.

Where did you get it unlocked? Or rather, how?
LOL derp. I was thinking you bought an AT&T iPhone, then had it factory unlocked.
This one even better. Right?
Apple do have Iphone 4 factory unlocked as well. However, it comes only in black with 8gb capacity for $549.
