 A Company from Northern Ireland, under the banner “Set Your iPhone Free From AT&T,” has posted a video that has been independently confirmed, demonstrating software that unlocks the iPhone. A press release dated August 25, says that the company was poised to begin sales of the software when they were contacted by lawyers representing AT&T. Their lawyers are now in the process of figuring out if AT&T has a serious case and if they intend on following through.  In the six-minute video, John McLaughlin, founder of Uniquephones, is seen with a PC and an iPhone unlocking the device using software from his company.
In the video, McLaughlin takes the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card out of a Vodafone Blackberry device and puts it into the iPhone. He then makes two phone calls using the device. The video was shot at his house in Northern Ireland, he said.
The video, which was shot at McLaughlin's house in Northern Ireland, is of poor quality, as noted in his blog entry. "Sorry about the focus, it was done late night using a Nokia N95, but you'll see the process," he wrote.
Uniquephones already unlocks phones from many manufacturers, including Nokia and Motorola, and about 60 percent of its customers are in the U.S.
