Stand by: Race is on to Unlock the iPhone
Locked phones can only be used with cellular service from one carrier, a move designed to guarantee carriers recover the cost of subsidizing a handset through monthly service charges. But the cost of the iPhone, which is priced at either US$499 or $599 depending on the model, is not subsidized by AT&T. Users must pay full price for the handset and sign a two-year contract, which requires them to pay from $59.99 to $99.99 per month for cellular service. Unlocking the iPhone will enable the handset to be used with any cellular provider with a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) or EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution) network, not just AT&T's network. That's an attractive proposition for users who already have a cellular contract with another carrier, or users outside the U.S. who can't wait to get their hands on Apple's new handset. Efforts to unlock the iPhone are being tracked on several Web sites, including Hackint0sh and the iPhone Dev Wiki. http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/2007...HvA37bG_cE1vAI

The only issue with unlocking the iPhone to use on another carrier is that the "visual voicemail" feature will not function. It needs the server backend in order to work, and right now only at&t provides that. So if someone was to use it on another carrier, they would not know if they had any voicemails and would have to check by calling their voicemail number frequently as the phone would not tell them. I think that would become annoying.
