Update
iPhoneSIMfree does not guarantee that the software will continue to work with the next or successive iPhone updates via iTunes. They will continue to update the software and keep on top of the updates, but they can’t say that future iPhone updates will work 100% with this unlocking method. Should a future update disable your iPhone’s unlocked status, you’ll be dealing with that third-party unlocking agent rather than iPhoneSIMfree – clever.
It looks like iPhoneSIMfree has made good on their promise to deliver their iPhone unlocking software solution. Too bad it’s only available in bulk to resellers. Apparently, iPhoneSIMfree wants to help keep its third-party reseller partners in business by ensuring that anyone wanting an unlocked iPhone will likely have to buy either a new, unlocked iPhone from them, or pay for the unlocking service.
iPhoneSIMfree has started to send out emails to resellers, offering them the opportunity to buy wholesale lots of software licenses that would allow them to unlock iPhones. The process requires the unocking agent to install the “.app” unlocking software onto the target iPhone, register the iPhone’s information with iPhoneSIMfree’s back office system, and then have the iPhone connect to iPhoneSIMfree’s servers over a WiFi connection. The process is mostly automated and should result in an iPhone that’s freed from AT&T’s evil grasp.
The day of the AT&T-less iPhone is nigh!
Hit up our sister-site Into iPhone to take a gander at the email that has been sent out to resellers.
