List of countries and carriers with unlocked software for Apple's iPhone - Image 1It was probably inevitable; the fact that Apple's iPhone is now available with a software unlock in more than 40 countries all over the globe before it's even supposed to be officially available in some of these areas.


The image (left) shows the list compiled by the iPhone Dev Team of 32 countries and 69 carriers with the iPhone software unlock already been tested and good to go. The phones were confirmed to have working incoming and outgoing calls, as well as SMS compatibility, EDGE/GPRS access, and non-visual voicemail access.

In actuality, however, the list above has recently been appended with an additional 10 countries and 11 carriers according to additional contributions from the source's website. With the growing number of software unlocked iPhones being made available worldwide, who knows? Perhaps you'll find a working iPhone just around the corner from where you live before you know it.

Additional countries and carriers include:
  • New Zealand/Vodafone
  • Spain/Movistar
  • Poland/Orange
  • Czech Republic/Vodafone
  • Bahrain/Batelcom/MTC Vodafone
  • Israel/Cellcom
  • Hungary/T-Mobile
  • Belgium/Proximus/Base/Mobistar
  • Kuwait/Wataniya
  • Ireland/Meteor
