Dev Team One Step Closer To iPhone 4 Carrier Unlock

By

How’s iPhone 4 carrier unlock coming along, you ask? Jolly well, says Dev Team member MuscleNerd.

Despite the fact that the baseband-unlocking code used by ultrasn0w on the last three iPhones won’t work on the iPhone 4 due to a baseband change, a carrier unlock should still be attainable.

“Next step is to keep the task backgrounded like we did for 3G/3GS,” MuscleNerd wrote on his Twitter feed. “Backgrounded task is the unlock.”

Great news for those of us who want to migrate our phones to different networks, or use the when we travel abroad without paying exorbitant rates.
