iPhone 3G Carrier Unlock Released and Working Fine

Yellowsn0wforunlockiphone This New Year, you may be planning to join a gym, or to quit smoking. Some of you might even want to cure an internet addiction (you fools!). I will be doing something I have wanted to do for some time. I’ll be getting an iPhone.

Why now? Because the iPhone Dev Team, those tireless iPhone hackers, have finally released Yellowsn0w, a carrier unlock for the iPhone 3G. As promised, it was released on the first day of the year, and as expected, it works. A simple download of the Yellowsn0w application is all you need, although you’ll have to have a Jailbroken (hacked to run non-App Store applications) iPhone to do it.

From there it’s easy — run the application and reboot with the new SIM installed. That’s it. You now have an iPhone 3G that will run on any network. One note — you’ll need the latest baseband firmware for the iPhone, numbered 02.28.00, and you’ll have to disable the PIN unlock code on your SIM. Other than that, what’s stopping you?
