Not that I work for this company or get anything by posting this, just saying if you wanted to purchase unlocks you can. Originally they said they wouldn't start the next batch until Monday.

At least I've heard from a source I trust that this works. Haven't heard anything from a trusted source on any other supplier. If you don't know who I'm talking about mmi has a front page store on this from Monday.
 
And now it's $15 more than before. It's now $189 for the unlock. Were I to actually need an unlock I'd probably give this a shot. Only question is will it still work if you update to later OS versions :confused:
 
Someone said their unlock works and they are on 4.3.2. They purchased from a different supplier however. I'm sure it's all the same.

A second person just posted, they are also on 4.3.2, apparently did this this morning.

Two others have posted too. Seems like they are catching up with their backlog.

Are these permanent unlock? If so then i don't see what is people whining about expensive. It's still cheaper than getting official unlock phone.

It's apparently unlocked using the same method that official carriers use with Apple. We just don't know if Apple will eventually shut this loophole and reverse this "paid for" unlocks.
 
Aslo, fyi, negri now charges shipping (through Amazon payments, anyway) in the amount of $9.76 for 3-5 day shipping, resulting in a total charge of $198.26. I haven't purchased...waiting to see if Apple responds shortly (to stop the method of unlocking and/or reverse these unlocks).

They mentioned on their twitter that shipping refunds on delivery of unlock.
 
FunkySpaceMonkey.com is offering the same unlock for $150. I used it, and am now on 4.3.2 jail broken(tethered of course) and factory unlocked. Gotta love it.

Never heard of the site. Apparently run by some guy out of Romania. Who would like to be the first guinea pig/shill to comment?

I'm using the unlock from them. All of the companies are reselling from the same people.

And yes I write for FSM. But hardly a shill.
 
For those of you interested in Negri.
I used a $10.00 off online coupon, and it worked for me...

I think the paddy guy on twitter is still charging $174 if you trust him and really want to save the money. He has been retweating people saying success.
 
Took the plunge with Negri. Coupon code didn't work (I think that coupon only works on orders of >=$199). Will keep my fingers crossed and let you know how it turns out.

It's been around for a while. Back in the day that is where I found working versions of Terminal when those in Cydia didn't work on 4.0.
