Rating: Coffers nice and full now

How did so many iPhones get unlocked. Then we received a flier from iPhone Unlockers here which indicated that its unlocking or ‘jailbreaking’ software is available in the UK for £19.99. And this software can be used anywhere in the world (including the USA, obviously) on any iPhone. GoMo News was initially sceptical about this but the site calims it can even jailbreak iPhones running the latest firmware version – 2.0. The list of ‘extra’ facilities it offers is intriguing.
