iPhone now software unlocked in 32 countries and 69 carriers

With the European and Asian iPhone rollouts still months away, is it any wonder to find the little guy venturing out on the mean, GSM streets all on his own? According to that list above compiled by the iPhone Dev Team, the freebie iPhone software unlock has now been tested to work in 32 countries and 69 national carriers -- a list which is changing by the minute. Testing is based on calls in/out, SMS in/out, EDGE/GPRS access, and voicemail access. Not Visual Voicemail, naturally, but the ability to receive notifications alerts and check voicemail messages. As usual, we won't link you directly to the iPhoneDev community in accordance to their request for uh, anonymity.

Update: Make that 42 countries and 90 local carriers according to our readers! They've unlocked their own phones on the additional country/carrier combos: New Zealand/Vodafone, Spain/Moviestar, Poland/Orange, Czech Republic/Vodafone, Bahrain/Batelcom/MTC Vodafone, Israel/Cellcom, Hungary/T-Mobile, Belgium/Proximus/Base/Mobistar, Kuwait/Wataniya, and Ireland/Meteor. Note: the iPhoneDev list included Telus (with a note that it won't work) and double-counted India. Any more dear readers?

Try your Vodacom SIM again. Mine also didnt work a few weeks ago, so I got an MTN pay as you go. I tested Vodacom again on Friday and it now works.

How the hell did they get it to work on Telus? They're a CDMA carrier!

Unless someone tried it with one of their roaming SIMs...

Philippines should be in the list! We have unlocked iPhones here, NOT THE iPhone clones from china....

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 13th 2007 11:22AM]

Telus on that list makes no sense.

Add Cable & Wireless Jamaica to the list!
I tried using Digicel Jamaica but no luck so far, but thanks for the constant updates and keep up the good work.

I didn't know Engadget was so politically biased... but to educate those in need.. Cellcom also offers service in occupied Palestine (The Gaza Strip, East and the Old city of Jerusalem, and The West Bank) and in occupied Syria (The Golan Heights). The main website even offers their services in Arabic in addition to the Hebrew. So why are Palestine and Syria not real countries? If so, that's cool, but I just wanted to know what you guys think...
