Great news! Now that the contract is up with AT&T Apple can finally sell unlocked iPhones here in the US. The only 2 supported carriers in the US are AT&T and T-Mobile. T-Mobile does not use the same 3G frequency as AT&T so those looking to use an unlocked iPhone 4 on T-Mobile will be limited to edge speeds.
Now that you can get an unlocked iPhone in the US you can finally take your iPhone overseas to use on a different carrier. Pricing starts off at $649 for a 16GB iPhone 4 and this is a contract free iPhone. No word yet as to whether or not current AT&T customers can get their previously purchased iPhones unlocked. Hopefully you can call up AT&T and tell them your IMEI code and they will unlock it for free of for a small fee.

I hope ATT will unlock my 32GB iPhone 4 so I can take it to Australia.

They are not unlocking AT&T bought phones (yet). I bought mine from Best Buy (not on AT&T) for $879.98 on May 3rd, I want a damn unlock! I’m on the line with Apple now, I’ll post on my findings.

Tmobile has been issuing new 3G sim cards and they apparently have inside knowledge that a new iPhone will be compatible with their network.
Alan Vazquez says
maybe micro sims, but 3G doesn’t work on the iPhone on T-Mobile USA
Jason Masters says
Not yet but I’ve got an inside source that says the next iPhone will have the Tmobile bands and the new sim cards they are giving out will be compatible…
Alan Vazquez says
Yeah, we posted on that a few months back too, lol.
