iPhoneSIMFree posts FAQ, promises unlock release in 48-72 hours

We previously reported on iPhoneSIMFree, the puported result of a team’s effort claiming “the worlds (sp) first (and only) software driven sim unlocking service for the iPhone(tm). No need to open your phone. No need to solder.” Engadget posted what looks like a positive indicator for the veracity of iPhoneSIMFree’s claims, but no other publication (that we know of) received demonstrations of the unlock mechanism, which the team promised to the first three applicants “in 48 hours.” — four days ago.

Now iPhoneSIMFree has posted an FAQ that, among other information, says that the team is “hoping to release (the unlock software) in the next 48-72 hours.” Other excerpts from the FAQ:

“Is it completely unlocked for voice and data use with any alternative carrier? We have tested both voice and data extensively in multiple countries, using various different carriers and have found no problems.”

“What is the process the end user will go through? Currently our initial release will require that the end user activate and “jail break” in order to place our app on the phone. (We are working toward a fully automated pc/mac application to be released shortly after launch)”

“Do you offer 100% money back guarantee if the software does not work?
The unlock WILL work. We cannot offer any guarantee should Apple Inc. choose to re-lock the phone after a future update.”

“How do you deliver the software? The software will be made available for download once a registered user has made their payment.”

We’ve yet to receive any direct response to requests for comment from iPhoneSIMFree.
