anySIM Released: Free GUI iPhone Unlock

This is it, folks. Mere hours after we reported on the update to iUnlock, the iPhone Dev Team has finally released the graphical front-end for it: anySIM. Upload anySIM and support files to your iPhone and run it. You will then be prompted to “Slide to unlock”, your iPhone to use any carrier’s SIM card, that is. Once you’re finished, your iPhone will be freed from AT&T. Seriously guys, it’s that easy.

Before you install, you’ll want to sync your phone so you have a working backup in case anything goes wrong. You’ll also need to set up your iPhone to never go to sleep under “General” in the Settings app. It might also be a good idea to plug your iPhone in.

anySIM is available from Nullriver’s AppTapp Installer or from the iPhone Dev Wiki.

Enjoy your new found freedom!

Update: As some of you might have noticed, anySIM has disappeared from AppTapp. According to Conceited Software which maintains the Community Sources,

“NullRiver has decided they did not want anySIM.app to be available in the Community Sources list of packages available in Installer.app. They believe it could draw negative attention Installer.app from Apple/AT&T and hinder third party development. Feel free to voice your opinion at #installer.app on Undernet and let us know what you think.

The easiest way to get around this is to add Conceited’s beta repository and download it from there. You can also download the app directly, here
