IPhone Unlocked; Not for Everyone
August 27, 2007 by Vincent
In this past week a 17 year old boy from New Jersey, George Hotz, has managed to unlock his iPhone to work on other carriers such as TMobile, and other various GSM service providers here in the US. This unlocking though is not for the feint of heart, or most people for that matter. Hotz says that the task currently requires about 2 hours of work and the ability to solder well and certain knowledge about programming also. Hotz says he plans on working on a method soon that does not require soldering and would rather work from a simple programming change, and from there it could go to a simple application that could make it's way through the internet to you, then a few clicks and you could have your very own iPhone unlocked. So for those of you that have been crossing your fingers for the day either you could get that iPhone or your mobile contrat would end so you could slip into the clutches of AT&T, well you're a little bit closer... just not quite there yet.
