Wireless Imports unlocks iP...
A company called Wireless Imports has begun taking orders for software-based iPhone unlocking services at $100 a pop, allowing iPhone owners to subscribe to other cellular carriers like T-Mobile. All the iPhone's features work as normal, according to the company, with the exception of Visual Voicemail which is an AT&T-only feature. The software unlock works with firmware 1.02, according to Wireless Imports, and customers are not guaranteed that a future Apple update will re-lock their phones after the device is unlocked. "While we have taken all possible measures to ensure that the phone will remain unlocked, we can only guarantee the current released versions of updates (up to and including 1.0.2). With any of these versions, even if the phone is fully restored, the phone will remain unlocked." The company also says it has tested both voice and data features extensively in multiple countries using iPhones unlocked with its software. [corrected]
