Free iPhone unlock hack

A hacker group released <A HREF="http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,137184-pg,1/article.html">a free, open-source unlock for Apple's iPhone,</A> just a day after a commercial company started selling something similar for as much as US$99 through a network of online resellers.

The iPhone Dev Team, a dozen programmers who began their attempts to break the iPhone's reliance on AT&T in early July, have posted their hack on download servers. According to several sites, including Gizmodo and Engadget, the iPhone Dev Team unlock exploits the same iPhone bug as the for-money iPhoneSIMFree hack to do its magic. The two groups, however, came up with their solutions independently.
