The iPhone Dev Team has released anySIM, a GUI-based iPhone application that allows users to unlock the iPhone for use with any SIM card. The app simply needs to be copied on to the phone and executed — it is fully automatic, and therefore makes unlocking a much easier process for those users who lacked the technical experience to take advantage of previously released, more challenging unlocking methods. anySIM is available as a free download from the iPhone Dev Team’s website.

I thought the next Firmware update will most likely error any unlock application of this kind out.

Tony,
It’s FREE.
Even the app to transfer it to the iPhone is free.
Donations for their hardwork is welcome of course.

Don’t mind donating. Wish it were available for the PC soon (just Mac at this time)...
Maybe I can get a hold of a friend’s Mac.

The iPhone is GSM it will never be unlocked to CDMA. The only way you are going to be able to run a iPhone on CDMA is IF Apple make a CDMA iPhone!
