With the arrival of the iPhone, people that did not have AT&T were genuinely disappointed. They wanted to use the iPhone just like anybody else, but because of the signed contracts between the two companies, if you used Verizon or Nextel, you weren’t going to be using an iPhone. That was the case until we had the onset of the iPhone unlock. What this meant was that within minutes, people could unlock their phone from the AT&T only plan and use their phone with any service.

One of the big questions that people ask is whether or not they can unlock iPhone 3g 2.2. That’s the newest version out and people want to use it with other plans. There are some companies out there that can break this and allow you to use it elsewhere. The price range for these things ranges, but there are some very reasonable ones priced at around $25.00 that I think is a really good price. I’d gladly spend the money so I could use it on my other plan.

When push comes to shove, it’s your choice if you want to spend the money on the iPhone. But, if you do decide to do it and don’t want the semi-okay service that comes with AT&T, consider getting the unlock so that you can use the iPhone with any other service. I like the iPhone and I think that it is definitely worth the extra $25 to unlock it. But, it’s up to you.
