Easy Self-Service Method to SIM-Unlock Your iPhone 4, 4S

Published

on

Looking to roam the world but don’t want to pay costly roaming charges to your domestic carrier of choice, but are unwilling to pay a high unsubsidized fee for an unlocked iPhone? Well, there’s a hidden feature inside Apple’s iOS operating system that will allow users to quickly SIM unlock their devices without requiring a carrier to provide a subsidy unlock code or paying a third-party.

Reportedly, the method only works on the AT&T version of the iPhone only, and will work with the carrier’s iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPhone 4S models.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Insert AT&T micro SIM card into iPhone
  2. Dial 611 for AT&T customer service hotline and hang up
  3. Turn on Airplane Mode
  4. Remove AT&T micro SIM card
  5. Insert micro SIM card for any carrier of your choosing

The method will be capable of unlocking Apple’s AT&T-subsidized iPhone for use on T-Mobile USA’s network in the States as well, but T-Mobile users will be limited to 2G EDGE data speeds rather than the faster 3G HSPA+ (also branded as 4G in the U.S.).

    Does this work for any iOS version? And does the phone need to be jailbroken?
