You can follow iClarified on Twitter,Facebook, or RSS to be notified when a new unlock is available.*** Step One Jailbreak your iPhone.

Step Fourteen Insert your new SIM card and tap to select SAMPrefs from your SpringBoard. Step Fifteen Make sure your Method is set to Auto Detect and tap Utilities.

If you don't see Attempt Activation then select De-Activate iPhone and theAttempt Activation button should appear. Step Seventeen A popup will appear letting you know that "this may take a while". Step Eighteen Eventually your iPhone will respring and after searching for a bit your new network will be detected! Step Nineteen You should now backup your iPhone unlock ticket in case this method is ever blocked. You can find instructions on how to backup the unlock ticket here. IMPORTANT: Your phone will work normally with your SIM card and that SIM card ONLY since we have tricked iTunes to think that ICCID is one of the intended carrier's. The phone can be rebooted and connected to iTunes freely without losing the "unlock", at least for now.  A big thanks to Sam Bingner, Loktar_Sun and Laforet for their contributions!
