CutYourSim, has discontinued its 'legit' iPhone unlock service after being informed that its suppliers were no longer able to perform any additional iPhone unlocks. Last week we told you about a new unlock service called CutYourSim that offered a remote, permanent unlock for iPhone worldwide. Without using jailbreak tools and ultrasnow unlock, CutYourSim claimed to permanently unlock your iPhone’s baseband remotely for any GSM carrier. For $169.99, CutYourSim would be able to unlock your iPhone and keep it unlocked forever.





A word from CutYourSim...

“Today we have decided discontinue the service we offered for remotely unlocking any iPhone.  For the customers who already paid, and received their unlocks a few days ago, they do not need to do anything because they made the cutoff for our service.  All customers who paid via PayPal or Google Checkout will be refunded.  Due to the high number of orders we had, please allow some time before receiving your cancellations/refunds.
We do plan on offering iPhone unlocking services in the near future after we send out cancellations and refunds, but the service will be different, it will be for iPhones locked to certain carriers.  Once we take care of the refunds, we will post more about this new service we are going to offer.”

CutYourSim was somehow sending the iPhone’s IMEI to Apple’s whitelisted database of unlocked iPhones. When you buy an unlocked iPhone at full price from a carrier, that carrier sends the iPhone’s IMEI to an official whitelisted database that then informs Apple to unlock your device.

Did you get your iPhone unlocked with CutYourSim before this happened?
