What is Unlocking?

Cellular phones are expensive technology. To help make them more affordable to new customers carriers like Softbank, AU and AU Japan would commonly offset the cost by locking a phone to their network. Instead of paying $600 for a new phone, new customers could pay $0 down in exchange for agreeing to a 2 or 3-year contract which had the price of the phone built into the monthly payments. The phone was then 'locked' to the network so even if you ended the contract prematurely, the phone would not work with competing services; forcing you to buy a new phone.

Unlocking a wireless device lets your phone work on any network that has compatible technology.

To Unlock a AU iPhone an official request has to be made to Apple through the carrier ( ie: AU).  Once it is approved the unlock is pushed over the air to your handset.  Usually the end user is required to insert a sim card from a different carrier and then connect their iPhone to iTunes, click back up device (to prevent data loss) and then click Restore Device.  Once these steps are followed a message in iTunes will display " Congratulations Your Phone has been Unlocked ". If you don't have a SIM card for your iPhone, you can connect your phone to iTunes, erase and restore it for your phone to unlock.
