Check the Serial Number at the back of your iPhone.

This alphanumeric string is 11 characters long. The fourth and fifth characters represent the build week of the particular iPhone.

  • If your numbers are less than or equal to 44, then you can most likely unlock your iPhone.
  • If your numbers are 45, then there is a chance the iPhone can be unlocked.
  • If your numbers are equal to or greater than 46 then you can not unlock it.

If you have an unlockable iPhone, then your ONLY method for using it with another carrier is to purchase an aftermarket SIM. This SIM would spoof an authorized SIM. The downside is these aftermarket SIMs cost upwards of $90. These SIMs may also be blocked at the next firmware or baseband update released by Apple.

iPhone Dev Team's Pwnage Tool

iPhone 3G & 2.0 firmware has been successfully unlocked Update 1: Just to clear up some confusion over what this actually does: yes, it jailbreaks and unlocks older iPhones, and jailbreaks iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches. We only support the 2.0 firmwares.
Update 2: It looks like there aren’t enough TCP ports on that server, so _BigBoss_ has generously offered to mirror it.
Update 3: If you get Error 1600 from iTunes (or if you see in your log a failure to prepare x12220000_4_Recovery.ipsw), try: mkdir “~/Library/iTunes/Device Support” ; if that directory already exists, remove any files in it. Then re-run PwnageTool. . [know more about iPhoneDevTeam... click here]
