iPhone Sim Free Unlock video

My only worry is what happens when apple releases new firmware and re-locks the phone. Are they gonna unlock it again for free?

Software looks easy enough…. I just need to figure out how to get the Application on my iPhone and do the iAsign program. Are both of those tools available on Mac, or are they just for Win/PC.

Hey BG can you please answer my question from earlier? Is the new iPhone firmware SUPPOSE to come out tonight? Im not holding you to it, I just thought I remember I saw you saying it did. P.S. thanks for the video. now I know your not David Pogue. Maybe you his son? JUST KIDDING LMAO ;)

ok-

I’m a pessimist…

however.. it seems that apple will lock you out of your IPHONE that you are locked into a contract with AT&T…
Will the simfree unlock work again? Do you not then need a plan with t-mobile? is this a useful thing for anyone other than someone using the phone outside of the U.S.?

perhaps I am naive (o.k. I am) but seriously…what do you gain by this? switch to t-mobile plan (won’t apple sue the snot out of them for running their proprietary phones on another system…?Can they?

B.G. please explain…

Both programs are freely available. It doesn’t “lock you out” of AT&T per say, it is just assigning a SIM card to the phone. It doesn’t matter what SIM card it is, it has to be “assigned” to the phone. So when I inserted the T-Mobile SIM and assigned that the phone, and wanted to go back to AT&T, you just put the AT&T SIM in, and assign that one.

and again BG is the firmware update for iTunes WiFi store suppose to come out tonight? Im dying here your ignoring me BG!!

P.S. Thanks in advance ;)

@ Jose

The U.S. company you have to buy the software from says that if you are locked out by a future firmware update, you will have to buy any updated version that comes out. I would hope they will offer a discount at least. Otherwise, you will be looking at around $100 a pop every time Apple locks you out.

I wonder if I get the Iphone unlocked will my ATT BlackBerry sim card work fully?
I want to use my BB and the Iphone. Would it be posible.

I hope BG didn’t pay $99 to Wireless Imports for the license. The Australian website was asking for $50.

Thanks BG, perfect demo for me… except that you didn’t fire up Safari. I’m hoping to throw the SIM from my SK3 in the iPhone… does T-Mo EDGE work ok on the iPhone with the Sidekick’s Unlimited data plan?

BG knows as much as the next person, so if you have any questions just go to iphonesimfree.

@cracka

Really good question actually. I edited that part out to keep the video short. It did not work for me with the Sidekick data plan. From everything I’ve heard, you need the T-Mobile Internet plan for $19.99. WAP plans, BlackBerry, and Sidekick data plans will not work as far as I know.

Just unlock it gorge holz style lol avoid the firmware drama altogether

Hey guys,
Is AT&T coming out with a new network. Because if they are then we will all need new iPhone to support right? And I don’t think that a VerizonWireless SIM card will work because it is not a G3 network. Correct me if I’m wrong, and yes, where do I get the app for this. By the way, amazing demo, I didn’t think that it would be that easy!
Thanks, Clay

Hey BG, I wanted to know if there is a way to download apps to my iPhone without using a comp at all. I know you can easily do it by downloading the programs onto MAC or XP comp first then placing them on your iPhone but maybe there is a workaround. Please let me know…

Btw, great vid! Keep it up.

Clay, ATT has a 3G network that is in most major cities. The cuurent iphone is not 3G compatible so it wont take advantage of that speed.
Your only US choice is Tmobile or to leave it with ATT.
The app is available for sale I think, they just started selling it.

Chris,
You have to have a mac/pc to load the application loader program, once loaded you can add programs without the computer. Check youtube for video, you launch the app and it lists the available applications.

search for installer.app for iphone for a good start. Thats just for loading apps not for unlocking. Although a tool for unlocking is the SSH that is one of the apps you load.

iPhone update should come out tonight. supposed to launch w/ ringtones, for some reason it didn’t time will tell if it just took a bit too long to finish the software.

Well that’s just the neatest thing, I wish every phone could be unlocked with that program cause then I bet everybody would have unlocked phones.

@BG

just to follow up, i had the same experience… unlocked, popped my sk3 sim in the iphone, phone good, edge no-go. tried all the t-mo APNs, no luck.

called up t-mo tonight and switched to the now-$10-cheaper t-mo total internet from the sidekick unlimited, updated APN to internet2.voicestream.com, EDGE worked immediately… AND i get unlimited hotspot wifi. sweeeeet.

QUESTION!!! I own a iPhone but don’t have at&t it mo’ expensive & I’m have a contract w/ sprint for at least another year. Someone recently told me about this site – – http://www.iphonesimfree.com — Iphone to any network/any provider. I’ve read some reviews that seem positive — http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/08/24/now-that-the-iphone-can-be-unlocked-will-apple-try-to-block-the-hack/

Is this BS? is there NO WAY to use to iphone on GSM?? Whatcha guy think?
