An engadget article reveals that a group of enterprising lads have been able to crack the iphone, unlocking it for use with any GSM carrier. Looks like the only that doesn’t work is visual voicemail, which requires special server-side software to work correctly, something Apple/AT&T aren’t giving away anytime soon. Really this just opens up use of t-mobile for people here in the US. This is very good news for everyone else in the world (except Japan) as well, especially as apple starts to reveal its “exclusive” contracts with european cellular providers.
