iPhone 4 unlock update

Currently iPhone 4 models on iOS 4.1 and above are still out of luck for the standard software unlock. There has been no word of an unlock in progress or even if anyone is working on one.

For this reason I started to look at another solution a few weeks ago, a hardware unlock solution that has been around for a long time but has been unreliable ( IMO ) and unwieldy ( and sometimes illegal ).

More recently a hardware solution has been released that has reasonable requirements and is no longer illegal. However it does have some requirements :

- Your micro SIM must be trimmed to accommodate the hardware fix.

- Every time you turn off/on your iPhone 4 you will need to follow four steps in order to re-unlock your iPhone 4. The steps are fairly simple, in my opinion, and take no more than two minutes to complete - you DO NOT need to connect your iPhone 4 to your PC, you can perform these steps anywhere.

I have purchased seven kits and am satisfied that this is a good solution for those iPhone 4 owners who have been longing for an iPhone 4 that they can use.

Two items to note :

- FaceTime will not work with this unlock solution

- It is not known if this unlock will work for firmware versions above 4.3.4 ( testing of beta versions of iOS 5.0 suggest that it will not )


If you are interested in this solution please let me know. I have three kits remaining. Based on interest, I will purchase more to meet demand.

Thanks!
