Unlock Your UK iPhone

As with any other locked cell phone, large numbers of users wanted to unlock their US iPhone and to Apple's dismay the quandary was solved fairly quickly for the United States market. Recent news tells us that it is now also possible to unlock your iPhone for UK use regardless of where you have purchased your iPhone. The iPhone UK release date is November 9th 2007 and the advent of unlocking programs is naturally a significant problem for Apple.

Unlocking software that can be purchased for as little as £25 is already available and it can be used to unlock your UK iPhone on the spot. If don’t want to pay £25, it is even possible to have your UK iPhone unlocked for free. A new piece of open source software developed in the United States for the US market turned out to be useful for the UK market as well. Since the software is open source, you will be able to unlock your UK iPhone for free as long as you have the required expertise. The software gives consumers the option of either purchasing an iPhone in the United States and unlock it, or wait for the official UK iPhone release, purchase a UK iPhone, and use the software to unlock it. 

The open source software is purportedly still only a beta version and comes with a certain amount of problems. There is no Graphical Interface; a fact which makes the program hard to use for the average cell phone user. Even though the software in itself is free, you may therefore have to pay someone to unlock your UK iPhone for you.

The question about how to unlock your iPhone has been around ever since the early days for the iPhone, but it has certainly been amplified since it was announced that the iPhone US would be exclusive to one single operating network in the United States. Since the iPhone UK will be exclusive to Telefónica's O2 Telecommunications, it is not hard to understand why the question of how to unlock your UK iPhone is so important for many UK cell phone users.
