What are the benefits of unlocking?
- Use your Apple iPhone on any GSM network!
- Unlocking your phone removes the SIM-lock restriction on your phone. This allows you to easily swap the SIM card in your phone and use it with any other network or contract.
- Increase the resale value of your Apple iPhone.
- An unlocked phone is more valuable because it can be used with any compatible network.
- Avoid expensive roaming rates.
- Using your cell phone abroad can be very costly due to expensive roaming prices. However, if your phone is unlocked, you can simply swap to a domestic carrier's SIM card and use your phone for a fraction of roaming prices.
Will all iPhone functionality remain after unlocking?
Your unlocked phone will work exactly the same as your locked phone. Most functions, such as the web-browser, e-mail client, music player, and the included Yahoo, Google, and Youtube widgets will operate correctly, though some may need reconfiguration. However, visual voicemail is a feature specific to Cingular's network. Instead, the voicemail button on your iPhone will send you immediately to your carrier's default voicemail line
Is unlocking my Apple iPhone legal?
Unlocking your Apple iPhone is legal in the US and most western european countries. In the US, unlocking was specifically made legal in 2003 by the Copyright Office. The Copyright office approved an exemption to the DMCA's anti-circumvention pretections. This exemption allows circumvention of device controls "for the sole purpose of lawfully connecting to a wireless telephone communication network.” Any unlocking solutions that we release will be designed specifically to perform this function: bypass Apple's network lock - thereby allowing you to use your phone with another SIM card from a different wireless network.
How soon will the software be ready?
We are monitoring and working closely with a number of different programming groups to bring you an iPhone unlocking solution as soon as possible. We are now very close to having an unlock solution available, and programmers are testing end-user clients for the unlocking process.
