    No, that phone cannot be unlocked, neither officially (by SoftBank) nor unofficially (via an exploit).

    There are two carriers in India (Aircel and airtel) that sell iPhone factory-unlocked, you should probably buy your phone from one of them.

    Hello Balaji,

    I have also a iPhone used in Japan SoftBank with firmware 4.3.3. For enable it for all carriers you need use Gevey. Hey, don't you have the Softbank SIM Card? I couldn't activate FaceTime and the only try that miss is activate my iphone by iTunes using the original carrier sim card.

    Post iPhone 4

    I believe that your iPhone 4 should work with the gevey sim card if you don't upgrade to firmware 04.11.08 which is IOS 5. I have both an Inphone 4 4.3.5 in japan now i'm in paris it was working until i mad that mistake to upgrade.

    I live in Japan and have an iphone 4 purchased from softbank. I am currently in the state visiting. I've tried with a friend's att sim and it is locked. It says sim invalid. The answer is that is is locked to softbank only whether you are in japan or out of the country.

    I noticed that my softbank does work here in the states. I did not sign up for international plan either. The carrier that shows up on my phone is ATT.

    It doesn't hurt to ask if they can unlock it for you, but I seriously doubt they will provide you the unlocking code.

    You can still use your iphone if you reinstall IOS 5 using jailbreak for hacktivate it. You can use sn0wbreak 2.9 that is the newest version and is IOS 5.0.1 compatible. Check your baseband. Gevey will work only with baseband 04.10.01

    What people usually do with their iphones in Japan?

    Are there any trade in programs from carriers or recommence services?
