Nice information. Getting iphone into T-Mobile networks is to useful only. I saw lot of article but in those article unlocking an iphone is very difficult. But unlocking a GSM is very easy by online itself at low cost from unlock4u. So here software implementation is good to use. Thanks for this information.
ReplyDeleteWhat about buying an iPhone from Australia? I hear that the iPhones there are truly unlocked. Would inserting my T-Mobile sim card then work in the US?
ReplyDeleteYou will have to jailbreak it but here in the States are not sold unlocked. There is AT&T, the company in control for a period of time. We are expecting some other companies start selling the iPhone in a year or so.
