So I can't post stories about my baseband, but IA then writes articles dedicated to the same thing!? Give me a break.

Thanks guys

hahaha looks like there's piss on the leopard's snow. lovely name.

Who says you can't post about your baseband?

Best,

For those of us in the U.S., isn't T-Mobile the only other alternative with an unlocked 3G? Are they really any better than AT&T?

It is only useful for those who travel overseas and those who want to sell their iPhones on ebay

Don't tell me you still didn't buy an iPhone yet

Can this be coupled with the 'Enable Data Roaming' option? I might want to use a local SIM when travelling but I don't want to use this SIM for data charges (I'd rely on Wifi only, exactly what is achieved by disabling data roaming).

From an American point of view, yes (if you call Canada overseas). In most other countries, multiple GSM-based providers are available, so you don't even have to leave your country to make use of the opportunity to use a different provider (and except for island nations, no 'overseas' trip is necessary to go abroad).

Yes, Am on T Mobile with a 1st Gen all is good everything works except Visual Voicemail.
Did not want to sign with ATT and already had Tmo.

Yes but isn't T-M's 3G data service in the USA incompatible with AT&T's for some reason I don't presently recall?


No, since T-M has very little 3G coverage at this point in any case.

I agree that the utility of an unlocked iPhone is mainly for international travelers, who could benefit from using a local SIM.

I locked his thread about iphone unlocking and links to a site offering a method for doing so as I figured it wasn't something the forum should promote.

I've read articles about Apple limiting iphone numbers to countries with high unlocking rates and no doubt the more people taking business away from legitimate carriers, I can see a point where some of them could make things more difficult for legitimate users.

They already started enforcing in-store activations because of it.

I think discussing the issue is ok but perhaps it's better to avoid promoting it because it voids people's warranties among other things.

We do talk about Mac clones and post links to those sites too though so I guess this isn't much different but I don't want AI to become one of those sites where people post unlocking guides and things and have people who don't know what they're doing breaking their phones.

It's a fine line but this article is only mentioning what the dev team will be doing, Ireland's thread was a review of him using an unlocking sim and where to get it. I thought that was just on the wrong side of this type of discussion.
