I had a note in from Jody Sanders of iPhoneUnlockUK. They’ve been pretty successful unlocking previous versions of the iPhone and they’re rather excited to be able to offer a full unlock for the 3G version. it does involve a ‘piggyback sim’ and a bit of desktop software.
You can find out more at http://www.iphoneunlockuk.com/ or visit their London or Birmingham clinics!
I haven’t tried it myself but if you’re thinking of getting a PAYG 3G iPhone (recently released), this might be a useful consideration.
Here’s the mail from Jody:
Dear Ewan Macleod
