iPhone - Finally Unlocked

It`s almost 2 months from the release of iPhone and people around the world were trying to free the iPhone so that they can use it with any GSM Service provider they like.

Now, iPhone can be finally used by "ANY" GSM carrier service across the world !

So finally team from "iPhoneSIMfree.com" have freed the iPhone from the clutches of AT&T and have provided evidence of their claims by demonstrating that they can used with T-Mobile (The Second carrier in US). Engadget confirms this news.

Below is the around 1 minute video from Engadget showing the proof of concept of Unlocked iPhone.


http://www.iphonesimfree.com/ has announced that they will start selling the SIMFree mobile very soon.
For us it means that now iPhone lovers don`t have to wait till Apple ties to their countries` local carrier. If your country has GSM network you can buy it now instead of waiting for next year which was the prpbable release date for iPhone in countries other than US and Europe. To simplify it more, now if someone buys the iPhone from "iPhoneSIMfree.com", it can be readily used in countries like Japan, India, China and any country with GSM Service. So no more roaming charges. Use Local provders on the move.

History shows, when people were trying very hard to install windows on MAC, Apple relaeased "Boot Camp" officially to relieve the pain of the general users who are not so good at hacking. When people wanted iTunes with DRM free music , Apple fulfilled their wishes. Now when hackers have unlocked the iPhone, will Apple release a Unlocked phone itself ? Lets`s stay tuned when that happens.

Hey Steve, make the iPhone free. That`s what expected from you. That`s what this Unlocking of iPhone proves.

Update 1: iPhone Unlocking software delayed a bit due to the lawyers of AT&T
