How to Unlock you Apple iPhone

Everyone is wondering if the iPhone can be unlocked. We'll be posting our continued research on how to unlock the Apple iPhone right here!


What we know so far:
1) There is a SIM card included with the iPhone that has custom code


2) There is a OSX startup check that checks for this custom code on the sim card (will give Incorrect SIM message at iPhone startup if it cannot find this code)

3) ATT specific features will not work on other GSM networks (ie: Visual Voicemail)

Reading a SIM Card

To read a GSM SIM card you will need a USB to SIM reader. You can purchase these on eBay like I did, or you online such as: http://www.rockey.com.my/price_rockey_readers.php
