iPhoneSIMfree goes retail, let the unlocking begin - Engadget
iPhoneSIMfree iPhone unlocking software is finally available for purchase from four online retailers around the world. Wireless Imports in the US, iPhoneWorldwideUnlock in Australia, 1digitalphone in Germany, and iPhone4arab in Saudi Arabia (currently down) have all purchased bulk licenses from the iPhoneSIMfree team and are selling individual unlocks.
The US retailer is charging a whopping $100, pretty steep considering 1) the wholesale is $36 or less 2) there is no guarantee that this thing will last a couple of weeks before Apple releases a block.
Also, for people in the US, there is only one other GSM option, T-mobile. How much would it cost to pay the early cancellation on a T-mobile contract. And for people in Europe, it looks like the iPhone will be on sale there by early November.
This hack is NOT targeted toward you americans. I am a brazilian, my iPhone is on its way to Brazil and I WILL need a hack like this. USD 100 is better than nothing. Now imagine all the millions of asian, australian, south americans and such that are all potential customers to this. This is a winner. You americans can stick with AT&T or T-Mobile. Here we have TIM, Claro, Oi, Vivo and all of them offers GSM plans that I WANT to use on my brand new iPhone
Hola! I am a Russian living in US and I would love to find a reliable way to unlock iPhone since I travel internationally a lot and use local SIM-cards.
Is there a way not only to unlock but also KEEP it unlocked against Apple’s blocks?
Thank you
