14 DAY TRIAL // A company going by the name of iPhone Unlocking Ltd. claims to have released a tool that can effectively unlock any iPhone model running the latest iPhone 3.1 software from Apple, as well as perform a jailbreak. The application, however, is paid, with no option to try-before-you-buy.
“Since we launched our very first iPhone Unlock software in August of 2007 our software has been downloaded by over 1 million customers worldwide, located in over 145 countries,” says iPhone Unlocking Ltd., whose business doesn't strike us as perfectly legit.
“This makes us the most experienced and accomplished iPhone Unlocking service in the industry,” the company says on its website, where a big download button takes visitors to a payment page. “Our iPhone Unlock software has been developed with absolute simplicity in mind,” the company adds. According to iPhone Unlocking Ltd., even “the absolute computer illiterate” will be able to easily unlock their device.
Most importantly, iPhone Unlocking Ltd. notes that, “From this moment in time our software is now capable of unlocking any iPhone worldwide in just a matter of minutes. This includes the very latest iPhone 3Gs running the firmware version 3.1.” “Upon unlocking your iPhone you will be able to use any network provider of your choice from any location in the world,” the company claims.
The iPhone Unlock software also has the capability to re-lock an iPhone at any time. This, according to the app’s makers, ensures that the warranty remains valid should the user ever need to return the iPhone to Apple for repairing, replacing, etc. Best of all, according to the FAQ, the software can also jailbreak an iPhone, “which will allow you the use of the Cydia and Installer applications,” the company outlines. To make its offer even more attractive, iPhone Unlocking Ltd. claims it has so much confidence in its iPhone unlock software that it is offering a 100% full, money-back guarantee on all orders. It all sounds a little too good to us.
In related news, the iPhone Dev Team is working on a similar unlock & jailbreak tool for iPhones and iPod touch devices, which should become available for download as early as this week. Unlike the iPhone Unlock app from iPhone Unlocking Ltd., the Dev Team’s PwnageTool is free and is known to be reliable.
