The fact that iPhone's have taken the world by storm is undeniable. The uses and features that are inherent with the purchase of an iPhone are quite amazing. So what if you want to take advantage of all the features within a 3G iPhone 2.2.1 but you don't want to switch your cell phone service provider. This is exactly where terms like unlocking and jail-breaking come into the discussion

While there are many people who are aware of the fact that you can unlock iPhones, there are very few who actually understand why or how you would go about performing such actions. The following are some examples of how you can unlock your 3G iPhone.

IPHONE UNLOCKING

The term unlocking is bandied about when discussing the limitations that are placed on iPhones by the Apple software managers. These restrictions prevent your iPhone from using a different carrier then AT&T ( The iPhone is locked to the AT&T Network)and limit your ability to download, install or even use certain applications that you may want to. iPhones are prevented from being used in the same way that an iPod is and you have no real ability to access the system files or change the set up. The term unlocking refers to the process of unlocking these system restrictions and in turn allowing you to use any SIM card, any carrier, and it will also let you access, read and write all types of media and system files in any manner you wish. Essentially this gives you complete control over your 3G iPhone.

When the iPhone was first released the iPhone Devteam quickly managed to find a way to unlock the iPhone via a software hack. Via a small program that was available for download freely you could unlock the iPhone within a few minutes. Disadvantage of the software unlock was that this would nullify your warranty with Apple. Apple catched up on the software unlock and closed the security leaks that the Devteam was exploiting, and released a new firmware version for the iphone.

Within a week, the Devteam found a new security leak, and they released a new unlock software to fully unlock the iPhone. The cat and mouse game between Apple and the Devteam continued, as Apple released a new version of the iPhone software, permanently closing the secutiry leak.

The latest iPhone 3G with software version 2.2.1 ( modem version 2.30.03) can not be unlocked via a software solution. The Devteam promised they will find a new solution, but it seems that the security leak in the iPhone has been closed permanently.

Now, how should you go about unlocking your iPhone to take advantage of all the benefits?

The best and currently only option to unlock the iphone 3G 2.2.1 is by using an unlock sim. The entire iPhone unlocking process is as easy as inserting a simcard in the iPhone. This card was tested by iPhone unlocking experts and you can be sure that every precaution and tip will be explained in the membersarea in order to unlock and optimise your 3G iPhone 2.2.1 in the safest way possible.

Main benefit of unlocking the iPhone via this small hardware sim is that the phone will stay unlocked when Apple releases the next firmware update, and the unlock will not void your Apple Warranty, like with software unlocks.
