So your shiny new iPhone is sitting there looking at you. Can't you just hear it whispering, "Unlock me...Unlock me...Unlock me..."? What do you do? How do you unlock your iPhone? What if you don't want to use AT&T, the official carrier, for your iPhone service?



The choices today are many. Do any Google search for "unlock iPhone" and you are met with hack after hack, software after software, all claiming to be the best way to unlock your iPhone. Dig a little deeper, and you discover tutorials all talking about jailbreaking, preparing the phone for the software, firmware patches, unlocking the SIM-lock, and more.

It is all very complicated stuff, especially when you find out that you may have to unlock your iPhone all over again every time Apple decides to do a baseband flashing or upgrade. Can you imagine being right in the middle of the most important call of your life, and your iphone locks back up? What if you are transmitting crucial data to someone at that moment? Is it a chance you want to take? If this happens to you, you will need to download more software to restore your iPhone back the way it was, and then go through the unlocking procedure all over again.

You see, a lot of the hacks work on a firmware-patch. This patch bypasses the unlock part of your iPhone so that it does not realize it is still, essentially, locked. It no longer tells itself that you need to unlock it to use it. These firmware-patches are considered temporary unlocks, and are often rendered useless by baseband flashing or upgrades.

Another type of hack to unlock your iPhone is called a direct unlock. This type of hack is more permanent. It works on IPFS software to replace your iPhone's lockdata with essentially blank data. In some cases you may be able to get the unlock codes you need, and this hack can feed it the correct unlock codes to unlock it. This hack is not affected by baseband upgrades, and supposedly leaves no trace of the hacking. But you are still messing with hacking your iPhone, which carries risks of its own.

What risks? Any time you use hacks on your iPhone, there is a possibility of causing permanent damage to your iPhone. It would be such a shame to lose your brand new iPhone before you ever even got to use it, wouldn't it?

If you damage it, or if you ever need service on your iPhone, you will need to restore your phone back to its unhacked state, and re-install the factory AT&T SIM before you take it in for service. Why? Hacking it VOIDS your warranty! Plus, do you really want to tell Apple that you illegally unlocked your iPhone?
