3G Unlock VERY SOON - Works on ALL Basebands?

**dieselboy27** · 12-31-2008, 05:23 PM

This is the greatest Christmas gift ever! Probably the best gift I have ever received

I just wonder if I will have to restore to unlock my phone. Either way this is a great treat for all us iPhone 3G owners.

Happy New Year to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok...tell me if this is a stupid question, but would a software mod enable the iPhone 3G service to work on the T-Mobile 3G network?

more than likely not, but who knows.

The iPhone chipset is NOT capable of 1700 mhz.

Unless you plan to sell yours then it's pointless to unlock.

Some "Dingleberry" person on the dev blog is saying that it's out now. But no, it's not. Dev-Team said they will update when it's out, and I'm sure if it was, it'll be quite hectic here in no time.

You won't need your computer, it's all through Cydia.

**bballcat03** · 12-31-2008, 06:05 PM

In the blog comments it says 11:59 PST as that's where the dev team that's releasing it is located.

Unless you want to use a plan other than AT&T. Also, you can still use the T-Mobile 3G whatever plan, it just wont allow you to use the 3G.

This is all confusing.... Will "YellowSn0w" work or not on the newest baseband?

**bballcat03** · 12-31-2008, 06:30 PM

It looks like it will, or it may be a teaser of a 2.28 baseband unlock to come in the future.

Will wait to hear more from dev team though

We want know in till it is released. But it sure looks like it will work for the 2.28.00 baseband.

Only if you want to access third part development (apps) or use your phone in another country and not have to pay for the roaming (slipping in a sim card from a local carrier)

**djdom111** · 12-31-2008, 08:17 PM

I'm still waiting... I'm addicted, I can't move from my computer
