Re: The iPhone 3G Unlock Chart: Will Your Carrier Work?
With all the hoopla about unlocking, how does Apple unlock it differently?? I have an iPhone 3G purchased from the Apple Store in Hong Kong that was unlocked by default (HK does not allow the sale of locked/restricted cellphones). It worked just fine with a T-Mobile SIM right out of the box, with no special set-up required (even registration on the Apple US website went through without a hitch). Further, I installed the OS 2.2 software upgrade and that also went smoothly and did not lock the phone. So, is it that Apple unlocks the Hong Kong-destined iPhones at the factory via hardware settings that 3rd party software cannot duplicate?? Or??
