Mac OS X only: If you’re running a 2G or 3G iPhone with the 3.0 firmware, your (unofficial) carrier options just opened up a bit, as the Dev Team has delivered Ultrasn0w 3.0 for full unlocking.

Downloading and installing the unlocking tool requires that you have jailbroken your phone with PwnageTool, which means that, at the moment, it’s only available for Mac OS X users with 2G or 3G iPhones, and not the new 3GS—though the Team is working on both Windows tools and 3GS access.
