Iphone questions and answers

Unlocking the iPhone is not something that is new. Since the first generation was released, Apple users have been trying to find ways to unlock the iPhone. If you are not familiar with the iPhone, you may not understand what all that fuss is about.

You see, when Apple first released the iPhone, the iPhone was locked to AT&T.; In other words, you can't use the iPhone without being an AT&T; customer, since this is the only carrier the iPhone works with. This is becourse of an exclusive business contract between the two giant companies.

Apple has a large fanbase for its products, and the iPhone looks set to be a killer product. Shortly after its release, it was already selling like hot cakes in the market. Apple fans are more than willing to pay a few hundred dollars for the hot and beautiful gadget.

Here is when the problem arises. Even though fans love the iPhone, they may not be a customer of AT&T.; Besides, what about users overseas? Does this mean they can't use the gadget if they are not an AT&T; customer? All these concerns need to be addressed.

It wasn't long before someone came up with a solution. At first, a teenager came up with a clumsy way to unlock the iPhone by making hardware modifications to the iPhone. He made a video, showing exactly how he did it, and posted it on YouTube. Soon, the media caught wind of the video, and it attracted a lot of attention. Fans from all over the world quickly realized that it is possible to unlock the iPhone after all! Within weeks, a software was released, claiming that it can unlock the older 2G Version iPhone.

Many iPhone owners want to unlock the iPhone not only because they want to use a different Simcard. They also want to be able to install the thousands of third party applications that are available (for free usually) online. Some people call this jail breaking. The message is clear and loud - fans want to break free and use their cool iPhones anyway they want.
