History
In 2002, UniquePhones was the first company to offer instant unlocking services online. This service was mainly for Nokia handsets, with a reported 25,000 handsets being unlocked per day. This service ended in 2005.
In mid-August 2007, UniquePhones announced an unlocking service for the iPhone, only to retract this service the following week after receiving a phone call from a lawyer representing AT&T.
