For $169, And Three Steps, You Too Can Unlock Your iPhone

A new service offers what it calls the “first permanent remote iPhone unlocking solution.” For $169, Cut Your SIM promises to unlock your handset within two to five business days. Available for iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4 models, the Indiana-based Cut Your SIM service works on any non-CDMA handset; in other words, Verizon iPhone customers need not apply. The three-step process is as follows:

1. Type in your iPhone's IMEI number in the IMEI# section.  You can get this number from the phone by dialing *#06# please do not get the IMEI number from the box.
2. Once payment is received, we will email you when the phone is ready, and unlocked. (This can take 2-5 days, or less)  You will not need to enter any codes, your IMEI# will be added to Apple's whitelist and will be unlocked forever.
3. Once unlock is complete, we will notify you.  All you have to do then is, connect your iPhone with any Sim Card to iTunes.  This will then activate and unlock your phone

  Because this is a permanent solution, Cut Your SIM claims it requires no jailbreak and updating your iPhone to the newest iOS version works as expected. In addition, the site offers a 100 percent guarantee and states the unlocking does not affect your warranty status, because it is an official iPhone unlock. For more information, visit the Cut Your SIM website or Twitter page. What do you think? Have any of our readers used the service? Let us know by using the comments below.
