yellowsn0w becomes ultrasn0w.
Yesterday we heard from the iPhone Dev-Team, those behind the jailbreaking and unlocking software for iPhones, that it has already discovered a security hole that allows for the injection of unlocking code.
Embedded below is the video demonstration promised by the Dev Team showing that the unlock really works. The demo uses an iPhone 3G presumably locked to AT&T but housing a T-Mobile SIM. After the unlocking process, the iPhone 3G recognizes the foreign SIM and connects to the network.
While the iPhone OS 3.0 is expected to be released later today, the iPhone Dev Team won’t be posting the “ultrasn0w” unlocking software until Friday, as it said it still has a few things to work out.
Skip ahead to two minutes into the video to see the action happen.
How many of you will be unlocking your iPhones as soon as possible? And if you’re already running on your native carrier network, are you still unlocking your iPhone just for fun?

how do you use it for verizon with no sim card?
The whole perspicuous is having a SIM card slot to add different carriers SIM cards, If you don't have a slot for a SIM card this is not for you.
who else uses SIM cards besides att and t-mobile in the USA? no one, that's who. i really don't understand the need to unlock these things for users that will never leave the continental US. and to those that would complain about spotty att service... they're going to get better service from the smaller net t-mobile has here in the US? can someone remind me wot the point is again? i understand breaking them to run any software you wish, but service provider unlocking seems very limited in the USA. next!
don't need to unlock, already with ATT, I just need to jailbreak.

Actually, Sprint/Nextel/Boost Mobile use SIM cards. I've worked for them and have activated 1000's of phones with SIM cards.
eh, where have you worked for them because as far as i can tell from their sites, only Nextel used SIM because of their iDEN system. i've been a sprint customer and they do not offer SIMs or fones that use it with their CDMA system. so... could you provide some links because i have several friends on sprint that would love to use SIM based fones.
