How do you check your iPhone software version?Įasy simply select "settings -> General -> About" from the main menu. But if you have version 2.2 you must be very careful when buying an unlock SIM. Software versions older than 2.2 are no problem for most of the reputable Unlock SIM's out there. So it wont be long until most 3G iPhone's out there are running this new 2.2 version.
#UNLOCK W380 SETOOL UPGRADE#
When you connect your iPhone to iTunes you will be prompted to upgrade if an update is available. This latest software release for the 3G iPhone is Version 2.2. But Apple have just released an update (Nov 2008) which has stopped most of the unlock SIM's from working. Will they work with all iPhone software versions?Until recently the answer to this was yes. This means they will now fit into your iPhone without any cutting of your actual SIM. The newer designs have moved the small IC chip to the other side. The older designs did require you cut into your SIM card. The technology and software on these unlock SIM's is continually being worked on and improved so it is important that you are buying the latest versions of these SIM's.ĭo I need to cut my SIM card?No you don't. Some are very poor and simply do not work, others are great and work perfectly. Looks quite straight forward doesn't it? I have personally tested a few different types of these Unlock SIM's and the quality varies greatly.
I found this great American video on You Tube that shows you exactly how it works. Its probably easier to see this in action. Finally place them into you SIM holder and then into the iPhone. Now these unlock SIM's are very thin and you simply need to place them on top of the the actual SIM card you would like to use in your iphone. Have a look at the picture to the right to see what they look like (there are different variations but they all look pretty much the same). It is through the use of what is commonly referred to as "Unlock SIM's" or "piggyback SIM's". But don't worry, some clever people have discovered an alternative method. As of November 2008 there is no software based solution to unlock your 3G iphone. Sadly the unlock solution for the 3G iphone is not so neat.

Please read my tutorial below for more details. So unlock SIM's are currently the only solution for this version. UPDATE: There is no news from the iPhone Dev team yet about unlocking version 2.2.1. Some "Unlock SIM's" do claim to work with 2.2.1 but i have heard mixed reports on their reliability (read tutorial below for more information on unlock SIM's). If you are already running version 2.2.1 and want to unlock it, then for now you will have to wait for YellowSn0w 0.98 to be released. Keep an eye on the dev team blog for updates.
