The Never Locked iPhone!!

Apple iPhones have typically been locked to only use on the AT&T network, so they are not capable of being used on other GSM carriers such as T-Mobile or for overseas travel.

Hackers were able to break the software to use the iPhone on carriers other than AT&T, but any connection to iTunes or any software updates provided by Apple lock the iPhone and render it useless.

Now the iPhone is available without any locks or restrictions to any GSM carrier.

Also, the Apple guarantee is valid for all never-locked iPhones.

You are now able to:

  • Connect the iPhone to iTunes
  • Update the iPhone software when the updates are available from Apple
  • Purchase apps from the iTunes library or the Apps store on the iPhone
  • Use AT&T or T-Mobile in the USA – Or one of the 30 different GSM carriers all over the US.
  • Use with any GSM carriers globally Introducing iPhone 3G. With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again.

    Phone

    Make a call by tapping a name or send a text with the intelligent keyboard.

    iPod

    Enjoy music and video on a widescreen display and shop for music with a tap.

    Internet

    Browse the web, get HTML email, and find yourself with GPS maps.

    3G Speed

    3G technology gives iPhone fast access to the Internet and email over cellular networks around the world. iPhone 3G also makes it possible to do more in more places: Surf the web, download email, get directions, and watch video — even while you’re on a call.

    Maps with GPS

    Find your location, get directions, and see traffic — all from your phone. Maps on iPhone 3G combines GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower location technology with the Multi-Touch interface to create the best mobile map application ever.

    App Store

    Tap into the App Store and you’ll find applications in every category, from games to business, education to entertainment, finance to health and fitness, productivity to social networking. These applications have been designed to take advantage of iPhone features such as Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, wireless, and GPS. And some are even free. You can download them wirelessly and start using them right away.

    Microsoft Exchange

    What makes iPhone a great business phone? Simple. The same features that make it a revolutionary mobile device. With iPhone 2.0 software, iPhone does even more for your enterprise. It supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, delivering push email, calendar, and contacts. And it gives mobile users secure access to corporate resources with Cisco IPSec VPN and wireless network services with WPA2 Enterprise and 802.1X authentication.

    1 of 5 Not for business Friday, January 08, 2010
    Prior Apple Owner from California  

    I purchased this phone based on a recommendation from an AT&T salesperson. I thought the phone was very intuitive for the most part but the it stopped working three weeks later. The phone lost all power and was warm to the touch so I'm assuming defective battery but that wasn't even the worst part. I was told I couldn't return the phone to AT&T until I had a working phone and they directed me to an apple store in a nearby city. That was the worst of it; their so called genius bar was staffed by at least one young woman who I can safely say was not up to the intellectual standards advertised. Perhaps the Bar was lowered on this particular night. What I did discover was that they do not fix your phone and rather give you a replacement but will not disclose whether the replacement is new or used. More importantly, because the phone's storage is on internal memory there was no way to remove the data in the event of a failure like mine. I expressed my concern that there could be a couple confidential e-mails on the phone and asked what the procedure was for removing existing data. She countered by telling me that I am responsible for backing up my data. I then explained that I wasn't concerned about my backup, it's the data that was already on the phone I was concerned about. Her brilliant yet snotty response was to hand me back the phone and tell me to delete them then. After what was no doubt a blank stare on my part and a rather awkward moment on her behalf, she finally reached back and said, "Oh yeah, it doesn't work." I think it is safe to say Apple is better suited for dealing with teenage music addicts than business people.

    5 of 5 Unlocked, just as described Sunday, April 26, 2009
    rs from El Paso  
    The iphone works just as described. Received the phone and charged the battery, dropped in the sim card and logged onto itunes to register the phone and immediate access to Tmobile. No problems with the phone and wife is happy she can have a phone that is not illegal or jailbroken. Tmobile techs were very easy to work with to get internet up and running. Phone did come with the international charger, but also included was the US adapater. Instructions are in Italian, but can be downloaded from Apple.

    5 of 5 EXACTLY as described - UNLOCKED Wednesday, April 22, 2009
    GP from Alabama  
    This phone is exactly how it's described. I inserted my sim and connected to my macbook pro. iTunes opened up and began the activation process and within seconds a message popped up saying congratulations you iphone is unlocked. I set everything up and it works perfectly. I didn't have to do anything illegal or technical to get it to work. Once it was setup it activated with the carrier (T-Mobile) and the logo popped up in the carrier location on the home screen. I haven't had any problems. It's a beautiful phone and works beautifully.
