[UPDATED] Review + Tutorial: iPhone IMEI Remote Unlock
[Update] Hey guys, if you want to ensure that your unlock stays forever (even if Apple makes your IMEI uneligable again, download SAM Prefs by going to Cydia and adding the source “http://repo.bingner.com”.
Then after you install (you must reboot) you have to go into the app (should be a SIM card) and tap “utilities” and then backup activation. Your NCK (unlock) will be sent to the cloud where it can be restored later. 
Hey guys, well, as you may have heard, there are now new ways to unlock your iPhone! Now, this is a great service, why? You don’t need to care about baseband updates anymore!
Once you are unlocked via IMEI, then all you have to do is plug it into iTunes.
Today, I will be reviewing an unlocking service, unlock-network.com.
Unlock-Network.com is a very well organized company that was great to work with. They are also very reliable and were the only ones that I felt could handle my personal information.
Now, I’ve made a video showing you how the whole process happens:
So basically, this is how it all works. You go to Unlock-Network.com and you choose which device you want to unlock (in my case, it was the iPhone 3G [S]). Then, you just enter your IMEI (to find your IMEI, dial *#06# on your iPhone) and then choose which network the phone is locked to. (Everyone in the U.S. should click “AT&T/Cingular”.)
Then, you have the option to pay with either PayPal or Google Checkout. It will be $174.99 for an iPhone.
Now, it may look like a steep price at first, but keep in mind that if you live in the U.S. you would have to pay atleast $1,000 for a phone from another country. If you want to have a 32 GB model, then it goes up to $1,500, at least.
It’s a good deal that can potentially save you hundreds.
Now, the unlock is performed remotely, to finish the unlocking process, plug your iPhone into an internet-enabled computer and sync with iTunes.
That’s it!
It’s incredibly easy and I can confirm that this works 100%! It took a matter of hours for me to recieve my confirmation that it was unlocked.
They advertise a 24-48 hours delivery time. They will also give you your money back if the unlock doesn’t work for any reason.
This will work on all baseband versions (they even advise you to update to iOS 4.3.1/4.3.2 before unlocking) and it will work on any and all models of the iPhone 3G [S] and iPhone 4.
So there you go guys! Happy unlocking!
Thanks to Unlock-Network.com for the unlock!

What was your BB and IOS version when you unlocked? It’s better to be updated, both BB and IOS to the unlock?
It doesnt matter, since iTunes does it, BB and iOS versions are irrelevant bcuz its official and shouldnt rely on trivial things like that
Is it possible that Apple could blacklist those iPhones unlocked this way, later? Would be terrible! But I think they won’t.
Check out my update. It’s possible to preserve our unlock token. Kind of like an unlock SHSH
I am on iOS 4.3.1 and baseband 05.13.04 in the video. That’s because I haven’t had the need to restore so I’m still on the 4.0 baseband (since the official imei unlock was just a day old since I did my video).
Also, as Brandon said. Baseband doesn’t matter.
And I doubt Apple would do anything to relock.

Did you get this taken care of?
Make sure that you are connected to the internet and updated to the latest iTunes and atleast iOS 4.3.1.
If you still don’t see anything, try restoring and trying to activate it with a non-AT&T SIM.
If all else fails, verify that your IMEI is EXACTLY the same as the IMEI that you submitted. If even 1 number is wring, then it won’t work.
Contact them if this is the case or if you still can’t get it to work.

The issue is that there is only 1 supplier for all of these other reseller companies so they are getting swamped.
(I got information from one of the resellers (not unlock-network.com) that this was the case and they explained how it all worked) so it is legit, however, they just have so many orders that they need time to finish them before being able to accept new orders from the resellers.
but I ordered on the 15th.. I guess thats considered as a NEW order..
Hmmm but I did get a conformation email that my phone is unlocked and that I should connect to iTunes, but it didn’t unlock
I don’t care for the refund, I just want my iPhone unlocked
I would go ahead and contact them. We’re not in business with them, so you would need to send them an email. Check your account on their website. If it says “Complete” then it should work (Verify the IMEI is the same, I’m almost certain this is the issue. That the IMEI you sent may be slightly off from the IMEI on your phone.
