Can't take credit for this since I didn't make it but it helped me a bunch. :) - merrickx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19All this iPhone unlocking junk.
I just slid the button to the right.. worked fine for me. - kevmille, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Wow, the poor guys here in Saigon, Vietnam, that were selling $100 iPhone unlocks are going to be unhappy today :-)
- Craga89, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I think I'll wait just a little bit longer to see if the new firmware being developed does indeed render the unlock useless or not. If not, bravo apple.
- thomasprebble, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Information is meant to be free!
- trylleklovn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Slide to unlock. :D
- springo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Where's the news about iPhoneSIMFree gone?
- Disodium, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Exactly, i'm waiting to see if Apple re locks the phones. If not i'll be buying one
- AceTracer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6That's ridiculously complicated. Here's easier instructions:
1. Install the AppTapp Installer if you haven't already done so.
2. Launch MobileSafari and go here http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/beta/
3. Click "Yes", then go back to Installer and refresh sources.
4. Find anySIM in the list and install it. - mingistech, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4When will this show up on Installer.app? Once it hits there i'm sure ALOT of people will try it.
- AceTracer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That's exactly how anySIM works.
- Prodigyman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I am picking one up here in Canada (ebay) sometime next week. If Apple releases 3G version of it soon I'd be pissed. But they could tell us at least if they are ever going to release HDLC (3G) IPhones...
- bitwiseplatypus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I saw it in Installer.app briefly late last night, but by this morning it was gone. Not sure why.
- rhaleuk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4If Apple launch/announce a 3G one on Tuesday in London, I'm buying one. If not, I'll be importing one right away via eBay. Stupidly, an 8gig iPhone, including shipping from America is £50 less than my Nokia N95 cost!
- merrickx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I told myself I'll only buy an iPhone once the price dropped and unlocking software was distributed free and easy.....
So, here I am right now writing this comment because I'm waiting for my iPhone, sitting so gloriously on my bed, to unlock. :] - RaDiKaL, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Thats for a mac. It's okay... I sometimes get Windows and Mac mixed up too
[/sarcasm] :D - Jerky1312, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The tech sites are sure milking this iPhone hacking news for all its worth.
- Wang, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1obviously other people want to see iphone news....if you don't want to see it, don't read it...
- AceTracer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1How to install anySIM...(much easier)
1. Install the AppTapp Installer if you haven't already done so, http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/
2. Launch MobileSafari and go here, http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/beta/
3. Click "Yes", then go back to Installer and refresh sources.
4. Find anySIM in the list and install it. - RaDiKaL, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Thats for a mac. It's okay... I sometimes get Windows and Mac mixed up too
[/sarcasm] :D - _skin_, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, but when you actually hit "OK, Unlock My Phone" how long does it take. Mine has been sitting on this screen for hours.
- mlivebc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1How?
- _skin_, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I guess its just easier on a Mac?
- selfdisplaced, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1this didn't work for me, get's the end and errors unable to unlock.
i did eventually get it unlocked though :-) yay- t-mobile - dynamic03, on 12/27/2007, -0/+0What about for Windows? I'm having the same problem you were.
- AceTracer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Never. Nullriver isn't allowing it in Community Sources because it doesn't want the negative attention.
- habby11, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0The 3 G version is rumoured to cost a lot more out of England then the U.S. handsets. Plus as far as I know we don't have any 3G in Canada do we? Kind of a waste to pay for a feature you won't be using in the near future. Either way with 3G and what Rogers and Fido charge for data it would just get you in trouble. You would need a line of credit to keep up with the data portion of your cell phone bill ;-)
- kkiran, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0anySIM is error prone, I don't know why people are digging it like crazy, it din't work for so many people, and to add to it,it caused all sorts of problems. Hope these issues are sorted out.
- slackerli, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0anySIM gave me problems as well. Erica Sudan's unlock tool works!
- antivirus1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0anysim cant locate a files should i reinstall app
- antivirus1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0What it say is " Couldn't locate bytes to patch..." i am trying to use my T-Mobile card
- selfdisplaced, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1i'm not going to go into all that, on mac a good start is to look for a program called iNdependence
- ec92009, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0help!!
anySym quit halfway on me
I lost my ATT completely - jkharris07, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Im really glad someone decided to make this stuff open source.
- Fidodo, on 10/10/2007, -8/+1I don't own an iPhone, I don't plan on buying an iPhone, can we stop putting this on the front page?
- devoted, on 10/10/2007, -8/+0if you STILL havent figured out how to unlock an iPhone check out these video tutorials http://tinyurl.com/2wtnog
