    I too like to share my knowledge about unlocking iPhones.
    iPhones can be unlocked safely ,easily and permanently using Remote unlock method. Using remote unlock method is safe and it will unlock the device permanently. It doesn't even require jailbreak. This remote unlock works on all(GSM iPhones)iOS and basebands versions. We can get this service from MobileUnlockSolutions.com . This method of unlocking iPhone won't void the warranty .Whereas using software and applications will void the warranty and may damage the phone permanently if not used properly.
