iPhoneunlockuk
December 1st, 2007
I’ve vaguely been planning to buy an iPhone for some time but since I’d want to use it with my work sim card, it would need to be unlocked. I was waiting for the UK phone but unlocking this has been complex up to now. On Tuesday a friend mentioned the iPhoneUnlock crowd and I looked them up. On my return from Munich, I bought an iPhone at the apple store and headed on down to their oxford street office.
It’s a strange world where you hand over £300 worth of phone to someone and just assume they’ll give it back to you in an hour. On my return all was well though – there are 3 guys in a little Regus office with a couple of Macs unlocking for all they’re worth. My iPhone is working with an O2 paygo sim now and hopefully in a few weeks I’ll be able to drop in my Vodafone SIM and the world will be right.
On the whole, I could have unlocked the phone myself, but these guys were efficient and well worth the £70. We’ll see how their “free upgrade when we figure out how to sim unlock” offer works but I can recommend them to anyone who’s thinking of doing this.

This site is a fake they dont have the software that unlocked iphones they will give you information on how to do it that is already available on the net for free like youtube and hackthatiphone, I know because I tried and I paid for that bogus website for 39.99 pounds thats $78 US Dollars for nothing . I emailed them about it never get a respond or a refund. If you still want to try what I been through your an idiot, you just been warned.

Odd – I’ve now downloaded the unlock software and am using my unlocked phone with my Vodafone sim. No idea why you had a different experience. I assume since you paid dollars you’re in the USA but if you’re in London you can actually go see them and complain.
