The news has been full of stories of people unlocking the iPhone, that sexy little cell phone that people just can not shut up about. Now once again, all eyes are on a 17 year old named George Hotz who put his $500 phone under the knife and can now make calls using T-Mobile's network, and not AT&T who is the exclusive carrier for 5 years. He has even posted a blog containing step-by-step instructions on his process, that can be viewed here.However, this is not the only hack out there. Many others are claiming of software only hacks that can be done to have the same effect without the use of soldering... which as we all know can do more harm then good for some people. One such site, iphonesimfree.com, claims that by just sending them your iPhone's, and probably for a small fee, they can unlock the phone to work with any service provider. They currently are opening it up for publications for free to show off that it works.
So for all those that want an iPhone but want your own provider, definitely keep an out out on these, and even more developments, in the future.
