Anyone who owns an iPhone knows that there was no manual that came with the box. There was a dock, headphones and even a sticker, but no booklet to help you get to know all the features. If you are not sure that you've discovered everything yet, there's an official Apple iPhone manual online. Filled with 130 pages of golden information, it's worth having a scroll through to see if you missed out on some feature you didn't think existed.

Have you recently purchased (or being given) an iPhone from the US? It is most likely on firmware 1.1.2, which means there is currently no free software unlock for the iPhone. We have been receiving many e-mails about what the possible steps are to take now, and we've decided it's best to post it on the website for everyone to read. So what are your options?
[1] Wait. You can wait patiently for the free software unlock to come out. This may be tomorrow, next week, next month - there is no certain date (if any) that this unlock will come out.
[2] Execute the hardware unlock - At hackint0sh, a forum member has brought to the attention of many keen 1.1.2 iPhoners about a free hardware unlock for 1.1.2. It requires you to OPEN UP your iPhone. From our reading, it has had a high failure rate with many people blocked out permanently and damaging their iPhone beyond repair. Again, try this at your own risk. We do not recommend it.
[3] Downgrade to an iPod Touch - Yes, it's possible to use it as a temporary iPod Touch (iPhone minus the call features). Following a few simple jailbreaking steps can end you with this.
[4] TurboSIM/StealthSIM Solution - Buy one of these cloning solutions (physical product) and you can trick the iPhone into thinking your SIM is an AT&T SIM card. Although not a cheap solution, it allows you to have full functionality of the iPhone (including call features). Here at iPhoneUnlockAustralia, we sell these StealthSIMs and provide instructions to prepare your iPhone for it.

 Optus has emerged as the dark horse in the race between mobile carriers for exclusive rights to launch the iPhone in Australia.
Thailand's largest mobile operator, Advanced Info Service (AIS), said it was negotiating a deal with Apple to bring the iPhone to Asia. The telco's chief marketing officer, Sanchai Thiewprasertkul , told the Bangkok Post that AIS was collaborating with Singapore Telecom (SingTel) and Optus to launch the iPhone throughout the region. Optus is a wholly owned subsidiary of SingTel, and SingTel owns 21.4 per cent of AIS. "Mr Sanchai said that AIS, in collaboration with SingTel and the Australian mobile operator Optus, were discussing phone volumes, marketing terms and business model partnerships," the Bangkok Post reported. Optus spokeswoman Melissa Clare declined to comment on the matter but said Optus continued to look at emerging technologies to deliver to customers. The iPhone is now on sale in the US and Europe. Apple said it will launch the touch screen phone-music player hybrid in Australia this year. But that hasn't prevented many Australians from importing the device from the US and, using various hacks, unlocking it for use on local mobile networks. Telstra CEO Sol Trujillo has said he had conversations with Apple about bringing the iPhone to Australia, and many predicted a deal would be announced early this year. Apple has refused to comment. |
