iPhone Unlocked – WiFi,iPod Works with T-Mobile SIM
Update : All iPhones (2G, 3G, 3GS) can now be unlocked and Jailbroken. Follow these guides!
After iPhone launch fever,interesting details are popping up all over the internet. I was browsing to see if someone managed to unlock their iPhone and we can already see efforts headed in the right direction. A company reports that they have unlocked 2000 iPhones as I write this article. They are asking you for your email as well as the IMEI number. ZDNet says that they get Incorrect SIM: This iPhone must be used with an approved SIM error but WiFi reportedly works with a T-Mobile SIM. Apple is planning to release the same iPhone all over the world,hence a custom Mac OS X for iPhone reportedly exists and unlocking your iPhone can be a breeze!
Update : Alex King claims to have cancelled A&T service without losing a penny and is now using the iPhone both as an internet device (N800) and an iPod!! The phone part needs few tweaks which are being worked on 
Will the iPhone work in Bahrain? If I purchase an unlocked version……
Absolutely!! It is a Quad-Band Phone – Should work all over the world!!
Hi! I put my boyfriend’s t mob sim card in my iphone, and as it has wifi it still works for push emails and youtube! yeah! I wish it would be unlocked as soon as possible. Actually I found a unblock sim card code in my AT&T website, but I don’t know where should I enter the code and try it…. I already tried to dial those 8 PKU numbers but my iphone has no response even no wrong number tune…. weird.
HI, I order My IPHOne already, I am based in Kuwait,how I can unlock my IPHone, thanks
HI, I order My IPHOne already, I am based in Kuwait,how I can unlock my IPHone, thanks
Hi Metchy, where did you order the iPhone from? Hope you bought it from a genuine source cos’ iPhone is yet to be unlocked,no idea how you could start using it in Kuwait,you can’t get past the Activation screen
I can point you towards the iPhone Unlock work in progress links for now : http://ilikemyiphone.com/?p=76
hey ive been desperately waiting for the iphone to be launched, due to which i have not purchased a new phone in a year and my cell phone has to be replaced cause its in a terrible state, so i was wondering if you could give me an insight n tell me if its going to be possible to unlock the iphone in the near future, and for me to be able to use it in london.
Hi! I’m Diego from Argentina! I desperately need this phone! I’m already bored of my Moto V3X. But as you know it’s impossible to reach it from here (so I ask Metch how did she got the phone in Kuwait!!) I really need to know how can anyone, like me for example, without an american adress can buy the phone unlocked off course! Or maybe a date in wich we, the people of banana republics, jaja, can get a decent phone like that! Thaks and sorry about my english, I know it’s not the best…
I would ask you to WAIT till the complete know how of iPhone unlocking, I bet it is round the corner!! Keep watching this space though!!
Well, thanks men! I’ll try not to desperate and I’m gonna keep waching this space waiting for news!
Hey,good news!! Password hacked for the dmg file and a lot happening. The official word is not out yet. iPhone is nearly hacked, now it is being tuned to work with any network in the world
Has anyone tried this website http://iphoneunlocking.com ?
Can anyone confirm whether they can really unlock the iPhone to work with any SIM card, CAN MAKE AND RECEIVE CALLS and how much they charge for that? They don
SFMeow,
May I ask which push email client you are using for the iphone? I have been stuck with a Treo for a while because I have not been able to find a good push email client that is better than ChatterEmail. Thank you.
Windows Mobile is where I want to go to.
soooo is it really true is the iphone going to work everywhere else in the world….on another gsm bandwith???? or is it yet in the stages of being unlocked?
Hey MacThinker – Well,no one is sure about iPhoneUnlcoking site but the Devs at WiKi are already close.
FX,Sfmeow should answer your question!
Yep, basically it is a quad band phone and US has no need for a 900 MHz frequency,hence it is a world phone. It is in mass production for WorldWide release I believe.
When this unblocking happens does that mean the iPhone will work with Verizon too?
Unfortunately, NO it won’t
cos’ verizon is CDMA unlike Cingular and T-Mobile. No word of CDMA version of iPhone yet..
Too bad, because what it would cost to get out of the rest of my contract would cause a divorce at my house.
Well, I guess it is $175?? If you can buy an iPhone, $175 should not be too much!! Moreover,you can upgrade to a new phone and then upgrade to iPhone for free and sell the new phone thereby saving money on the ETF
$175 for my Treo, $175 for my wife’s phone and $170 for my son’s. If it was just the $175.00 I’d have busted out of my contract in a heartbeat.
Ohhhh, why not upgrade all their phones to iPhone & AT&T and sell their old phones @ Craigslist,Ebay!! I suggest taking the free phones first and then taking the iPhone to whoever needs one – thereby minimizing the loss to a great extent!! Hope I made sense
FX, sorry I have no idea push email cilent. When I turn on my iphone, there is a “mail” button, after sync with pc thru itunes, my iphone already has information about pop and smtp account, then I input my password in the setting section, after all my iphone is ready to get emails! There is no more button I can click for push email cilent information…. I will try to look about it again
About the SKU I mentioned before, I think I just misunderstand what I got…. sigh, I am going to overseas trips and hopefully iphone can be unlocked quicky!
Admin, that’s an easy one, Wife says NO!
admin im honestly very confused with so many sites giving out different opinions on the unlocking of the iphone, some say only the wifi and ipod work, some say it is completely unlocked, is it completely unlocked?
THANKS….
P.S. sry for all this trouble.
admin please could i get an update on what the status is for the unlocking of the iphone, i am honestly and frankly very mixed up with the different things put up on different sites.
THANKS
P.S. sry for all this trouble.
SfMoew : I heard about Push Email compatibility hack, should research on the internet
Hope the unlock solution is ready to be served by the time you travel abroad 
(GOOD NEWS COMING OUR WAY BEFORE THIS WEEKEND)!!
RonyG: Ooops, your wife din’t like the idea?? Well, next step?!
Matt & Jeff: Hi! To date, there is no known hack to make the iPhone work with other carriers. iPod and WiFi works just fine though. All the claims of an unlock solution may be deemend ‘Fake’ for now. Watch out, lotta bad guys around!!
Next step it to wait until my contract is up in June of 08. The other thing is even if my contract were up now I’m not sure the iPhone would meet my needs. I’m currently using a Treo 650 and a must have is to be able to work with Word & Excel.
how to unlock i phone for t mobile
How I add this article to Digg?
There has been lots of people who seems to have unlock their iphones, not only to use it as a PDA, but also the phone.
Regarding unlocking it as a PDA there is lots of support on the net, so no need to be a compu geek, but on the phone part the only instructions are for Mac, so many of us are left out in the shade wishing for help and hopping we can get answers soon.
I appreciate all helpfull people because their effort but i also stay sitti g tide for help
I bought a Palm Treo 700p off eBay, the prices have come down quite a bit. Hopefully when my Verizon contract is up in July of 08 the iPhone will have some good 3rd party apps and I’ll switch over then.
FX,
The iphone is interesting when it comes to push email. You’ll get “like” push email from yahoo gmail etc if your on wi-fi. Providers that are pre set in the iphone.. Others that you have to pop or put in the settings yourself are not push.. You can set it to check your account every certain interval.. You want a true push email client better then the treo? One word Blackberry.
so if i buy a iphone but dont need the phone feature
is that possible, or i have to use att
w/o hack
without the hack,no u cannot use it in ny manner,but with hack – u can use it in every manner,phone limited to cingular sims though!
Hi im Juan from mexico and I wonder if I unlock the iphone as you say I would be able to use it with a Sim card from Mexico AT & T would still charge me what it would be if I unlocked but I still want to use it in AT&T?
hiii.. i just wanted to know that after the iphone is unlocked can you call and txt message people along with using the wifi and ipod features?
im turning 16 next week and i have tmobile. can i use the iphone with tmobile or not? i have a sidekick 2 and an unlocked rokr e1 and i am tired of switching between the 2! i want a phone that combines the 2 of them! the iphone is! should i wait and ask for something else or get a iphone? it it anywhere near being unlocked to work with tmobile yet? i had cingular one before and hated it! tmobile gets much better service where i live and i like it a lot more than cingular! what should i do?
I want an Iphone and want to run it on the Rogers net work. Can this phone be hacked to work on this network with my simcard.
Juan – Turbo Sim may be your first option for now as the proposed software hack is being delayed.
Sunny – Of course we can do all of them after unlocking and yeah, it is way too close now!!
Kelly – Belated wishes!! I think you know the answer for your questions – It is already unlocked for T-Mobile,just that the unlcok is being delayed. Yeah, people are using the unlocked iPhone all over the world (TurboSIM, Hardware unlcok procedures)… I urge people to invest in an iPhone – the all in one entertainment source!!
Ashley – Yeah, the phone is Quad Band fortunately and yes, people in Canada are reportedly using the iPhone
Too many conflicting stories! I just purchased two new iPhones. I want to unlock them. CAN THE IPHONE BE UNLOCKED? If so what am I giving up. I need an answer in plain english.
Thanks,
muckdiver
umm how can i buy one ??
I want to get the iphone but continue to use t mobile. if i get it unlocked will i be able to use the internet and everything on it?
Does anyone know of a store that sells unlocked iPhones?
I live in Denmark, but an American reative of mine is buying one for me, so I need an unlocked version..
@ Elyse : Unlocked means availability of all the features
@ Wolsing : Well, they are selling them for prices way too high, you can have my unlocked iPhone if you want!
I unlocked my iphone and put in a tmobile sim I make and receive calls, messages ,etc but the internet does connect what should I do thanks
You have to input the right EDGE settings depending on the plan … internet2.voicestream.com or
APN: wap.voicestream.com
Username: (leave empty)
Password: (leave empty)
I have tmobile and would like to use my existing tmobile account. Where can I get my Apple ipod unlocked? I am yet to purchase it.
thanks,
Raje
Raj : Is it an iPod or iPhone?? Both can be unlocked right here! Buy it and come back for guidance!
Hi.. i tried what u said about the internet apn.. i updated already but still doesnt work.. i have the iphone but i put a tmobile sim card.. i recieve calls txt everything but when it gets to safari, internet it doesnt work… what can i do?
Cristina : You have to go to Settings -> Network -> EDGE and input your T-Mobile data settings :
APN : wap.voicestream.com or internet2.voicestream.com and leave username and password blank.
You might be charged for data, make ure you signup for $20 internet plan or you can use the WAP plan which is much cheaper…..
hi,
i want to buy iPhone from USA. One of my friend is going to buy for me. As far as i understand from the forums that i read , when u but iPhone u have to make contract with ATT for 2 years but you are able to cancel it in 3 days without paying any cent.And also you can unlock it with current hack software but there is some problems when you upgrade firmware. Each time Apple publish upgrade, hackers start to work on it and they have solution for almost all version of firmware
My question isto be able to make that contract what kind of requirements they have? And when you cancel the contract, ATT makes trouble or it is totally ok?
To cancel a contract is definitely not as easy as you said. If that was possible, we would see so many more iPhones floating around. I am afraid its not that easy
Why would you even sign a contract to get an iPhone? Buy it from apple since its the same price everywhere…
i currently own a blackberry, i want to know if i can use the same data plan (blackberry unlimited) with my unlocked iphone or do i have to switch it out and get the 20 dollar plan. Please anyone thanx
Just bought an iPhone 8MB. had it unlocked and it’s working great with my T-Mobile SIM. My wife is traveling to Argentina in a few days. I have an extra one for sale. Anyone in Argentina interested? or Chile for that matter, as my wife will be going to Mendoza… let me know here – soon! pronto!
Kiran,
My T-MOBIL SIM is working with unlocked iphone, can you please be more specific and detailed as to how to make internet work on iphone. I have data plan with t-mobil. I’ll be thankful for your concern.
Thanks.
I just got an iphone and its unlocked and i got my tmobile sim card with the data plan. I want to know how to get my internet working, and what do i have to do to get that done?
Once you pwn your device, install t-zones hack from Cydia and you are all set
aye check this out…. if u have an unlocked ipnone and u have tmobile and the total internet package(data plan) all u have to do is go to the settings icon on your iphone select general settings then scroll down to network and select it…. Then select EDGE then u select APN and type internet2.voicestream.com and u should be able to connect to the internet….
I have iphone unlocked and working fine with my T-Mobile sim. I want to know if its OK to update the software/applications thru Cydia?? Someone warned me that if i do, the phone will get locked again…please help…
Zafar : It doesn’t hurt to update apps on Cydia. You can even use iTunes to update to 2.0.2 firmware and still unlock your iPhone afterwards!
I am planning on getting my boyfriend the new iphone for his birthday and I wanted to know if it was possible or hard to unlock the new iphone because he has t-mobile and i don’t want him to switch providers and I don’t think he does either.
Jakkelyne : The only possible way right now is a Turbo SIM which you can buy for $20 on eBay. Slightly tricky but not impossible
Surprise him this birthday!
p.s : You can either buy an iPhone on eBay (no contract) or Apple store (2yr contract while buying)… Check your options…
I was just thinking of buying the phone at best buy, can’t I buy it from there without an AT&T contract? Also if I buy that Turbo SIM I’m guessing this works with T-mobile right?
BestBuy won’t let you buy without contract
TurboSIM should work just fine with T-Mobile.
you can call the company who you bought the iphone from and tell them you are traveling out of the country and you are gonna use their service there and you want your phone unlock. They will try and talk you out of it but don't give in. Tell them you need your phone unlock.
This is iPhone and it ain't possible!!
