Hackers believe they are extremely close to unlocking the iPhone to work with any SIM card - meaning it could be used in New Zealand.
Glory-hunting programmers across the globe are working towards unlocking the iPhone to work on networks other than AT&T, meaning it could be used in New Zealand.
Kudos for whoever untethers the high-profile phone from the network will be massive amongst underground 'hackers'.
Currently the phone, which was released in the United States on Friday, is unable to work with any SIM card other than one from AT&T.
A SIM card from one iPhone will work in other iPhones and in regular GSM phones, but not vice-versa.
This means those outside of the US wanting to get an iPhone will have to wait until Apple has signed a deal with a mobile carrier in their country unless the highly-optimistic hackers are successful.
One group working out of the US has been sharing information on the phone's innermost workings and believe they are close to freeing it from the AT&T network.
