There seems to be a lot of confusion around the iPhone 3G, and how to unlock it. There are tons of websites claiming/misleading that they can unlock the iPhone 3G with a software solution – they cant! There is no software unlock available yet for the iPhone 3G, anywhere!

No matter what your friend says, or what that website claims to do – it is impossible to Unlock an iPhone 3G with software. There is however a hardware SIM unlock for the iPhone 3G – it’s just as easy to install, doesn’t require any modding of your iPhone or SIM card and it works with all firmware versions. – I will talk more about this method later on, need to explain some more about the software unlock while we’re still on that topic.

You can currently “Jailbreak” your iPhone 3G with the software, the same software you would use to unlock your 1st generation iPhone will be able to Jailbreak your iPhone 3G. Jailbreaking your iPhone simply allows you to install your own 3rd party applications onto the iPhone. This process is reversible, so don’t worry if you mess anything up. Here are a couple of guides, the first on How to Jailbreak iPhone 3G and the second, Revirginize iPhone 3G (if you need to restore your iPhone 3G to factory settings).

In order to unlock any iPhone with software, it must first be Jailbroken – to allow you to install and modify the code on your iPhone 3G to unlock it. Please don’t be tricked into thinking there is a software unlock for the iPhone 3G, because there isn’t- the second the software unlock becomes available for the iPhone 3G you will be able to see it, and download it at Unlock iPhone 3G’s iPhone 3G Software Unlock Status page. If you see any website offering the software unlock for the iPhone 3G before it’s announced at Unlock iPhone 3G – then it’s 99% a scam, walk away.

Now… back to the hardware SIM unlock for the iPhone 3G. Basically this little device slots in your iPhone (in the same way your current SIM card does), and allows you to use your iPhone 3G on any network. It’s easy and it works! BUT there are loads of different types of hardware SIM now floating around on the internet, and most of them – like with the software unlocking companies *cough* site site site *cough* – are really rubbish products. They lack quality (reception, signal, phone call clarity, 3G issues) and some even require your cut your SIM card.

At iUnlock iPhone 3G, we have tried and tested over 20 variations of iPhone 3G SIM Unlocks, in order to provide you with the best solution. Our Unlock for iPhone 3G requires no cutting of your SIM, and there is no signal / reception problems at all! You will not even notice a difference.

I hope this clears up the iPhone 3G Unlocking Status for everybody.
