Ok, so unlocking my iPhone wasn’t as simple as the folks at anySIM claim it to be. I tried using the stupid gui twice and got errors like ‘you might want to check the baseband manually using minicom’ and another that was even more depressing like “can’t locate bytes to patch”. Each time I had to restore my iPhone using iTunes and apply the DVD Jon Activation hack I talked about previously. Many others complained about the installer not working properly and so for all you wishing to get going, here’s what you have to do:

Follow the instructions on this page. They take about 20 mins to walk through and another 20 minutes while your iPhone is being flashed. Right after that, you’re iPhone will be unlocked and will accept other GSM SIM cards.

Once that’s complete, follow these instructions to get it working with iTunes so you can at least upload and sync your media and other files.

DO NOT install AppTapp. It will kill the SIM fix.

Whew.
