iPhone iPhone SimFree FREE tool (iUnlock) released...

unlock anywhere?

Will this unlock work after the phone is taken out of US? I mean do you need to be within the AT&T network range for it to work or somethin? Any other requirements??
 
my first time hack... maybe

I've never thought about using a crack for anything. games console, OS, phones etc. It seems a bit too much trouble.

But seriously, if I don't hear any news on a UK release soon I think I'll give it a try. I know I know Steve said its coming next quarter blah blah. But please, throw us a bone.

Since january I have patiently waited with my nokia n80, unable to check email because of some seemingly insolvable bug, charging every 8 hours. waiting, waiting. Both myself and my business need this phone.

sorry rant over. Just making the point that without information from Apple soon, me - and I guess a lot of other people - will be considering this crack.

It says "rename to .zip to extract the DMG images" I know very little about mac.

Personally i just ran itunes and updated to 1.02 in order to avoid going through this stuff.

thats great. thanks and i'm happy(jealous) for you ;)
 
Is it just me, or every newbie, who has successfully unlocked their iphone, only have 1 post saying so, and then linking to the site? Just a coincidence I guess. Yet I've only seen minimal success with our normal members. Oh well, I'm really looking into canceling my ipod touch order, and just go buy an 8gb iphone..
 
Successful unlocked iPhone in Singapore Starhubs

Can it work on AT&T without data subscription?

I know this may seem a strange question, but I'm already an AT&T customer for many years, with a phone that just died, no data plan, and several discounts I don't want to use.

Can I unlock the iPhone and use my AT&T sim card, or does it seem like AT&T are at blocking that ? They must have some info on which device a caller is using. (but I may not understand GSM)
 
one more query!

if I buy an iPhone from the apple store, can I just unbox it and unlock it without having to do anything with AT&T??
 
T-Mobile Data Plan?

What are people doing about the data plan for t-mobile?

Should I keep my individual plan (whenever minutes 1000), and try to add a data plan with unlimited text?

or

Switch to a Blackberry Internet Plan with 1000 min, unlimited data, etc.?

any suggestions?

Thats what I have...i pay 19.99 for bb unlimited data plan. the main question for me is whether this works for phones other than bb's. I dont think it does, because for the other phones like the dash, have a different plan.

Edit: I'm calling tmo right now to get the info.
 
My brother and I just unlocked his gf's iphone last night. She was currently on a BB plan, with unlimited text and data, and the iphone is working without any problems thus far.

EDGE, wifi, dialing in and out, texting all work. Now its time to make Youtube work.

T-Mobile, Florida
 
iPhone noob (me) succeeded rather easily with this method...

Started the tutorial using BootCamp and downloaded iTunes 7.3.2 from an archive site.

I struggled a while with Putty the ssh client. At that point I said f*** it. So I hopped on to OS X, hit up the terminal, taught myself BASIC ssh commands.

You need to type in ssh root@(iphone.ip) and then dottie after 30 seconds or so when prompted. Then copy and paste line by line.

Easy, and my brand new iPhone isn't a brick either. Also I have iTunes, 7.4.1 on my OS X side, no problems syncing!

Let me know if I can help out (send a pm)

Check you PM's..
 
Question on Voicemail

I know Visual Voicemail will not work on any network other than ATT.

Is there a voicemail waiting notification that still works on the unlocked iPhone so you at least know if you have a voicemail?

Unlocking a cell phone may be, however, in this case to do so you are breaking the software license by modifying the iPhone's OS. So in fact unlocking the iPhone itself is not illegal, doing so in a way that modify's the OS does break the software license agreement which is illegal.

A software license is a contract. Breach of contract is not illegal. That is to say, there is no law defining "breach of contract" as a criminal offence. It is an issue to be taken up under common or civil law.

Let's add to that the fact that contracts are subject to the law of the land in the jurisdiction in which the contract is in force. Any term in a contract which contradicts the law in that jurisdiction is unenforceable.

A software license is an agreement based on intellectual property - that is, the copyright holder is listing the terms under which it is assigning the user a license to use the copyrighted work. Copyright law in the US specifically allows modification of software to enable cell phone network interoperability.

I am NOT a lawyer, so I could be way off-base. I'm just extracting from the bits of information I gleaned from the tort law courses I happened to have taken over the years.

Doesn't seem strange to me. I have exactly the same question. I don't want to give up my rate plan, but because it's a plan that dates back to the original AT&T wireless, if I change anything (new hardware, new phone number, etc.), then I have to change to a contemporary rate plan. So, my only option is to use unlocked phones if I want a new phone.

Therefore, I want to know the same thing you do. Has anyone tried using an unlocked iPhone on a non-iPhone AT&T plan yet? Enquiring minds want to know!
