Legal Threats Halt Apple iPhone Crack

August 28th 2007 | Phones

A British firm’s plan to sell software that could open the iPhone to non-US networks has been put on hold following legal threats.

Last week, Belfast-based UniquePhones joined several others in claiming it had cracked the code which locked iPhone into AT&T’s network.

But a middle-of-the-night phone call from AT&T’s lawyers have forced the firm to rethink its plans. It will now take legal advice to assess the ramifications, the firm said.
